New signature frag for a nurse (Page 1 of 4)

Estee Lauder Pure White Linen

I work with the elderly at an assisted living community and do CNA type work. I can't go without my perfume...it sets my mood for the day! So, I pick lighter scents (and apply less) on the days I work. Here are some suggestions:

Burberry Body

Yves Rocher Neonatura Cocoon

Burberry Burberry Women

These are all long lasting...but not overpowering. The neonatura has a wonderful patchouli-vanilla combo that I think you'll love!

Prada Prada Tendre

Gucci Guilty

Ralph Lauren Pure Turquoise

no patchouli, but you might like Calvin Klein Secret Obsession

Lanvin Oxygene

This is ideal for the workplace because it smells subtle, clean (as if you've just freshly showered!), creamy and it lasts for hours without needing to top up!

Estee Lauder Sensuous

Hi and Welcome!

Sensuous was the first one that popped into my head.

I had surgery recently, and not only would I not be bothered by a nurse wearing perfume, I would like it!   I suppose I'm biased, but I honestly think that any scent should be acceptable, as long as it's not applied with a heavy hand.

I would think it would be okay to smell of  a bit of something, as opposed to having to smell like nothing.

I would hope  it would be the rare person who would object to that.

I was visiting a family relative in the ICU who was pretty drugged up on pain meds and the first thing he said to me was: 'You smell very nice.'

I was wearing Eau Claire des Merveilles. http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Herm … -9583.html

It has medium silage and is very long lasting. 2 sprays is enough for it to last me all day. It has a bit of vanilla but it is very dry. It is a comforting and attractive scent.

I know you asked for patchouli but as many people dislike it and you work  closely with patients, I would not recommend it.

Good luck on your search!

I worked as a CNA for a short time years ago and they requested no one wear perfume. I could not abide completely, however. I chose to wear Nivea body lotion. If you have never tried it, the scent is awesome. I applied it to my upper arms and stomach so the scent carried nicely wthout being offensive. Nivea also makes heavier cream type body products and those would have an even longer lasting scent. I would think any scented lotion would be more subtle than a perfume, so you could just use the lotion to your favorite scent.

I am a big fan of Degree deodorant and the companion body spray called Classic Romance. This would be a nice option too.

Coach Coach 

This one is good, and it is "flying under the radar".  Fresh, subtle, full and long lasting.  A tiny spritz and you are comfortable with the patients, and more of the gorgeous aroma when you go out with friends.

Just because COACH is mainly known for handbags does not mean they cannot have nice perfumes.

L Artisan Parfumeur Voleur de Roses

  Lanvin Eclat d`Arpege

  Dolce&Gabbana D&G Light Blue

  Annick Goutal Eau De Charlotte

  Lanvin Oxygene

These are all very soft clean fragrances.

  ftopic: Hello and welcome. I don't know if you are aware of the fact, but the user name you have chosen is almost identical to mine. I think this may cause a little confusion.
