Is it weird to wear perfume even if I’m home alone all day?

r/

Sometimes I spray my favorite scent even when I’m in pajamas, no plans, just chilling at home.
It just makes me feel more “myself.”
Is that normal or a bit extra?

    Totally normal, wearing perfume for yourself is a vibe, not extra. Do you

    If it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad

    No. If you want to smell good then go ahead.

    Nah, totally fine. Sometimes, I put a little spritz on my pillows/duvet if I’m feeling fancy.

    I work from home and wear it for me. I love catching whiffs of pretty fragrance throughout the day. Do whatever makes you happy.

    It’s totally normal! Wearing perfume, even at home alone, can be a way to lift your mood or feel more yourself, like putting on a favorite outfit. It’s not weird at all, whatever makes you feel good!

    depends for what reasons if it’s just because you like it then that’s valid but if you feel like you can’t stay at home without perfume then there’s an issue

    You bought it to smell good so use it to smell good 🙂

    What you describe is my primary use of perfume. I buy it for myself, not for others. I rarely wear perfume when going out.

    It’s classy not weird.
    Doing things just because you like not for external validation.

  14. Individual-Two-9402 Avatar

    I buy perfume and cologne because I like the smell, not for anyone else to smell. So not weird at all.

    Trust me there are more weird things that people do when alone lol. Nothing wrong with you loving the scent, it’s for you 🙂

    I’m a SAHM and I’m a lover of fragrance. You bet your ass I put on perfume every single day. Makes me feel a tiny bit more human and I smell delicious.

    No. I work from home now and I still get dressed appropriately, just like I did at the office in my old job.

    Hell no. Do it for you! If ya like, wear it! I bought a big ass bottle of Shalimar for $240, so yeah, I use that shit on my days off 😂 Same goes for fancy dancy shower soaps

  22. WalkLiftBake403 Avatar

    Spray your perfume. Where your luxurious clothing/jewelry. Do whatever makes you feel good, no reason to save it!

  23. pigadaki Avatar

    Not weird. I wear perfume to bed, and I’m single! It feels nice to smell good.

  24. deathbyteacup_x Avatar

    I wear white diamonds everyday because it was my grandmas scent and I want to keep smelling her and remembering her.

  25. NihilistTeddy3 Avatar

    It’s normal. When I was a young mom and sometimes didn’t leave the house for days, I would put on makeup and clothes just to feel like a person and not just a mom.

  26. Ordinary-Spirit-6389 Avatar

    Completely normal. I do this all the time

    Normal. I’ve recently gotten into collecting perfume samples and I don’t go far

    My work schedule is 7 days on, 7 off, and sometimes during my off week I’ll put on pants while I’m at home even though there’s no real reason to

    do what makes you happy! alternatively there are room diffusers which are lovely too and is in the whole room

    If it makes you happy, do it. There’s never enough happiness in the world and it’s in astoundingly short supply these days.

    I always wear it for me, so doesn’t matter what I’m doing, I always use a lilbit to be able to sniff myself and go “aaah”.

  33. Familiar_Plantain448 Avatar

    I think it’s wonderfully that you do this !! There is nothing better than being in constant great smells. Just curious, what is the perfume ? I’m always looking for a good perfume because I also love being surrounded by good smells.

  34. PostModernHippy Avatar

    It would be weird if you didn’t like the smell but sprayed it anyway. Enjoy your scent.

    A tiny bit extra but fuck it 🖖🏼🤓👍🏼

    I do it. It makes me happy.

    No, I work from home and I wear perfume every day. I wear it because I like the smell. I wear it for me, not for others.

  38. FlareGER Avatar

    Absolutely normal, you can do whatever you want at your home.

    That being said, the good perfume that suits you well is the one that, once applied, you yourself don’t smell anymore

  39. ConeyIslandMan Avatar

    If you like it do it, like Bob Ross said…… its your world

  40. BFR5er Avatar

    We buy them because we like the way they smell. Or at least that SHOULD be the reason. It should NEVER be to impress other people.

    Nothing is weird if you’re home alone all day.

    Absolutely NOT weird. Especially when the fragrance is part of your self image.

  43. Safetosay333 Avatar

    I wear the knock off stuff at home, but save the good stuff for going out

  44. AdorableAndSweet Avatar

    Totally get this. It’s actually become part of my self-care routine. Having my signature scent on just makes me feel more complete, even if I’m just binge-watching Netflix and eating cereal for dinner. Plus, why should other people be the only ones to enjoy how good I smell?

  45. Praydaythemice Avatar

    Go nuts, i mean it’s your perfume whatever you want to do in the privacy of your house is no one else’s business.

  46. fluffygyal Avatar

    Nope smells can affect your mood so why not uplift yourself with a lovely scent?! I do it all the time 💜

  47. willfauxreal Avatar

    I’m kinda biased. I have a post shower perfume for the house and other scents that I wear for different occasions, weather, seasons, moods, etc.

    Do what makes you happy!

  48. cupidqt00 Avatar

    bit extra but huge vibe tbh

  49. OkLine209 Avatar

    No. I do it. Smell good where and whenever you want.

  50. Great_Increase_7133 Avatar

    Not at all at least I don’t think so, I usually put perfume on like a fresh scent after the shower everyday. Whether I’m going out or just staying in for the night. I just like the recurring scent

  51. Practical_Respond462 Avatar

    Not weird at all. I love doing this, makes me feel good.

  52. crankpatate Avatar

    Not an answer to your question, but…

    Beware, you do not smell yourself. Your brain kinda filters out your own body smell. This also applies to perfume/ deo/ aftershave. If you smell your perfume over a longer period of time, you might have used way too much of it. Basically an outside person would smell your perfume vane from a distance away and your home could be smelling overwhelming for an outside person.

    Maybe ask a friend, if you use too much perfume (and tell them to be honest).

    You could have a piece of clothing like a scarf near you, when you want to smell your perfume.

    ——–

    Other than that, I don’t see any reason why this would be weird. Who doesn’t like to smell good smells?

  53. C89_College8982 Avatar

    I do the same! Nothing wrong with enjoying yourself 🌸☺️🙋🏻‍♀️ I even bought myself a Chanel ”go to bed” perfume… I’m single!

  54. This-Fun1714 Avatar

    Absolutely! I buy cologne because I like the smell so I’m sure gonna wear it for me. Call it an indulgence but a reasonable one

  55. Embarrassed-Cause250 Avatar

    Not weird at all! We buy perfume in scents that we enjoy, so we may as well enjoy it alone! I use it often when I am alone.

  56. manav_yantra Avatar

    No, it’s not. It’s just a part of accessorizing yourself (I couldn’t find the right word). I use deodorant daily. One of my friends is the same as you too, she even wears perfume before bed.

    No, it’s great that you want to smell good for yourself. 🫶🏽

    I can’t wear fragrances at work. If I can’t wear it at home, where can I?

  62. Background-Arm-8491 Avatar

    Yeah I think it’s fine, I do smth similar, I spray body spray somtimes which isn’t that differnt to perfume

    I shower at night and always put perfume on before bed.

    “Normal” as in “most people do this regularly”? No, probably not.

    “Normal” as in “healthy, well-adjusted adult behavior”? Yeah, sure, why not? If it brings you joy, who cares?

    I shower and put on deodorant when I am home alone because I don’t like stinking

    Sometimes I were cologne too

    Smelling good is nice

    My wife knows she’s not going anywhere. and nobody will see her, but she’ll still do full makeup and perfume. If it makes you feel good, do it.

  77. RayOfSarkasm Avatar

    Nope. I wear perfume at home. Makes me feel good.

  78. jennbug83 Avatar

    No it’s a vibe for yourself

  79. Ok_Imagination_1107 Avatar

    Amateur perfume blender here, perfume can elevate your mood recall pleasant memories, empower you, make you feel even more wonderful and gorgeous than you already are, make you feel calm, make you feel exhilarated. I think some perfumes actually make me better when I’m trying to do creative things.

    By all means wear perfume, scent your home, choose your mood. It’s like using the best china, wearing your best lingerie, wearing your favorite clothes: you do it for yourself and for your own pleasure. Enjoy

  80. burp_derp Avatar

    is it weird? yeah kinda. does that mean you should stop? hell no! if it’s not harming anyone and brings you joy, go for it. wear as much perfume as you want!

  81. Feeling_Chef_3831 Avatar

    I do – I wear deo all the time. Perfume no. I like to save it for occasions.

  82. Rare-Bumblebee-1803 Avatar

    No. If you want to wear perfume, go ahead and do it. If doing that makes you feel better then go for it.

  83. fermat9990 Avatar

    It’s weird to ask a bunch of internet randos for such permission! Get a grip!

    It’s fine. You should do it for yourself and not for other people anyway.

  86. Madeup-Alias6869 Avatar

    No. Pleasant aromas are very therapeutic and can relieve or reduce stress.

  87. Pie_and_Ice-Cream Avatar

    No. It’s just like wearing makeup and getting dressed at home. You can do what you want, but “getting ready” even to stay at home can help your mind switch gears to be ready for activity. And feeling nice is feeling nice. 😊

    I wear it to bed and I sleep alone. lol

    I don’t buy it not to wear it

  93. Sofadeus13 Avatar

    Stanking good is always acceptable no matter the situation

  94. miss_rabbit143 Avatar

    That’s actually a good habit. Wearing a fragrance all the time ensures that you smell good even whenever you aren’t putting too much effort. Very helpful if you get unexpected guests or visitors at home

  95. ExpensiveVillage758 Avatar

    Not any weirder than lighting a candle. Except this smell follows you around

  96. MillionPossibilitie5 Avatar

    Wear your finest perfume. Wear the make-up you like. Dress in your favourite/nicest outfit. Whenever you want, also when nobody’s around.

    We don’t know what life brings us, when it will end. Someday you will do something for the last day, and you might have no idea when ‘the last day I did X’ occurs. Don’t save up our niceties/nice things for when ‘it’s proper/a good time to enjoy them’.

    No weirder than spraying an air freshener into the room.

  98. xX1337Xx_ Avatar

    No I spray stuff on all the time home alone

  99. EtherSerra Avatar

    If you’re at home and it causes you joy and relaxation and peace of mind then wear all the perfume you want. It’s exactly the reason of having a home. And then if anyone ever visits, there will be a very lovely afterscent that will permeate the whole house and make it a pleasant experience lol.

  100. horse_pirate Avatar

    You bought it to use it, I put cologne on every day regardless of if I’m alone or even not planning on leaving the house. I like smelling like it that’s why I bought it.

  101. WasteCommand5200 Avatar

    I put my cologne on every day regardless of what I’m doing that day. I think I wear it more for myself than anyone else.

    Absolutely! I’m worth the good stuff too ♥️.

    If you like wearing perfume then it would be weird not to.

    If you like to wear perfume but it’s weird, be weird.

  105. viola_darling Avatar

    Not at all! It’s like putting on deodorant even though you’re not leaving the house. (I know the two are different, just an example).

  106. Worldly_Store8023 Avatar

    I do this as well. For me, it’s a form of self-love. Why should I not smell nice for myself?

  107. WorldGoneAway Avatar

    I wear deodorant religiously. Sometimes I use bodyspray purely for me. I like smelling nice 😐

  108. Miserable-Ad8764 Avatar

    This is my life. If I should spray perfume only on days I met other people than my husband, or only on days I leave the house, I would be lucky to use my perfume 4-6 times a month.

    I use perfume for myself, exclusively.

    In fact I often avoid perfume if I am going out because some of the people I meet are sensitive.

  109. daddyeo75 Avatar

    I wear aftershave for me ! Not others!!
    I’m quite sensory,I like to smell nice things.

    Do what makes you happy👊🏽

  110. ComfyFlannel Avatar

    I do this too. Most people don’t use their perfume as fast as they should be used if you want to keep the OG scent for the full time of use and it’s just nice to catch whiffs of it as you go about your day and can put you in a better mood.

  111. alicia_summerss Avatar

    Nah, not weird at all. If you like it, wear it. Sometimes smelling nice just makes the day better, even if no one else is around. I do that all the time, honestly.

    I always live by the motto if it’s not harming anyone than go right ahead and do whatever makes you happy.

    But this one is a tricky one because I am dubious that perfume does no harm to the wearer.

    Manmade fragrance, in general, seems to be a ‘not so great thing’ for human wellbeing. I’ve only skimmed a couple of research papers, but the fact that they exist give me cause to stay alert.

    There are theories that scented candles are cancer causing and I can only guess we are absorbing those droplets of fragrance through our skin too.

    So… I don’t know but maybe less is more here?

  115. amfetamine_dreams Avatar

    No. I wear it for myself most of time. It’s comforting

  116. AlexValleyAuthor Avatar

    Also….. something I dislike more than many other things on this earth is greeting someone with a hug (it’s usually men, not so much women) and then having their horrible cologne on me.

    It happened last night, a mutual friend comes over, gives me a hug, and I sit there trying to cope with the overwhelming smell that lingers under my nose, on the side of my face and has seeped into my clothes.

    For me, this is the ultimate form of personal (smell) space invasion and it’s worse than normal personal!space invasion because it never goes away and I am then forced to wash the infected clothes that weren’t dirty in the first place, but not need to be cleaned to get rid of the perfume smell.

    Am I the only one?

    it’s fine. you like smelling the smell. it’s like potpourri or a candle.

    I have a that cheap choco musk perfume from TikTok that I like to wear to bed or spray a bit on my pillow. It’s a very warm and comporting fragrance. Like toasted marshmallows and warm vanilla. Very nice. I love it
