Coordinating Perfume with Body Care Products

[lunabee34]

I have made my first BPAL purchase! Thank you to everyone who gave me excellent suggestions.

As I wait for my imps to arrive, it suddenly occurs to me that I have been satisfying most of my smell pretty needs with soap, bath gel, and lotion. When I start testing out imps, best case scenario is that my body care products complement the new perfumes. Worst case scenario, I start smelling like the Yankee candle end of the mall.

So what do y'all do?

1. Do you "match" your body care products to your perfume? Or coordinate them to complement in some way? If so, what have you found that works for you?

2. Do you go the unscented, most neutral route so that only your perfume shines through? If so, what have you found that works for you?

3. To what extreme to you take it if you don't like other scents interfering with your perfume? Unscented laundry detergent? Etc?

I wondered this! If I use perfume subtly, will it come across stronger than my coconut-scented shampoo? Do I need to find unscented things? Or are perfume-orientated people generally more likely to be the bucket-it-on type, like that one woman at work, so that the perfume knocks everyone over from metres away and any remaining soap scent doesn't stand a chance...

Oh man. I do not like the scent-overload of someone drowning in perfume, and I definitely do not want to be that person if all my different smelling stuff creates a huge wall of smell. LOL
