These men actually do exist. One of them is my partner....he is allergic to perfumy fragrance. Even a hint in my foundation or lipstick, he doesn't want to lean close to me.
Suits me. I can always be really Me without the extra layers of artificial colour...which is 90% of the time.
However I do like some fragrant body lotions and body washes. So I buy such things with care.... and have only received 1 gift of this sort from in him...because he starts getting a headache as soon as he smells it..

He is allergic enough that he takes extra care in choosing specific soaps for washing himself. Very particular. So we found a mild goat's milk soap..
He absolutely detests walking even past a cosmetic counter in stores. And usually stays outside a "lifestyle" store where there are scented candles, etc.in the store inventory. Unfortunately most tropical garden conservatories are out for him also. You can guess, that I genuinely have to enjoy certain things just without him for awhile at certain times. Not a problem. I enjoyed them solo before I met him...

Hi, Hannelore: I'd be one of those women! I douse myself with perfume when I go to work even if it makes me heady. Mostly, to repel other people's smell in the train. Quite like a tactical offensive. Being cooped up like cattle in very overcrowded trains can leave one gasping especially when it is cold and windows are left closed. Some folks have no sense of what they smell like so, I hunch over to smell me!

Well, I don't wear a lot of perfume it does make me sneeze , but love to smell it on someone else . If I spray it into the air and walk though the spray that helps . to sent the clothes .
I don't think I could go out without my face on (that is what I call putting makeup on . I never thought I was pretty , but got hold of covergirl one day and then went to Lancome and needed a brighter smile and it helps keep my face moist . My mother was a fan of the power and lipstick she put on her cheeks .
I think my husband likes me better with makeup on even though I don't think he would notice , Not sure . Haa...
Blessing,
Renee

Have talked to 2 hairdressers who have each worked in their jobs in past 15 years. They have each developed (and they each work at different salons in different cities), over-sensitivity to hair sprays, chemicals, etc. due to overexposure in their jobs.
The last time I work mascara was 25 years ago (yea, 1/4 century ago). My eyes felt heavier and more exhausted. So since I have naturally black lashes, even if on short side, no point trying much harder.
Wearing nail polish -- same, 25 years ago. My fingers felt cooler than normal, to me when I wore nail polish.
So as long as fingernails are neatly shaped and clean, it's ok.
And I never knew that nail extensions were painful to remove, if you change your mind...someone told me a few wks. ago.

Someone once said, "I've never seen an old barn yet that couldn't use a good paint job." When I was much younger I could get by with using vaseline, when I was in my 30's I could even be dramatic if I wanted to be. In my 40's I toned it down a bit.
Now that I'm in my 50's approaching 60, I use it sparingly and wisely. Too much makeup emphasizes the fine lines. Too much makeup collects in creases. Too little makeup just makes a woman look old.
To me a woman's face is like a painter's canvas. Each of us and our mates see the outcome in a different way and process it through our filters.
Just like art, a woman's facial beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One of my daughters was married to a man who refused to let her wear makeup because he was afraid other men would be attracted to her.
Needless to say, that marriage lasted about as long as an ice cream cone in July...
