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?

Glad to help! As I said, their unscented stuff does ping me as "unscented", i.e. nothing in there that bothers me, and I think it was designed for that purpose, but it's always good to be careful, especially if there's any chance of your kiddos getting it on them as well. (Which, seeing as kids and cats are equally talented at getting into everything ever...! ;) )

And also, you've returned the favor, because Dreft sounds awesome for me as well in the sensitive-skin-and-nose line! Thanks!

Oh goodie! I'm glad I could rec something you might use. I would rec the liquid Dreft over the powder version. Also it is expensive. :(
