Low-Key Fragrances for Girls Who Love to Wear Perfume to Work ...

Wanting to wear perfume and smell beautiful is perfectly understandable. I mean, I wear cologne, not perfume, but I get it, plus I'm married to a perfume collector. Wearing perfume when you're at the office or at school, however, that's a crap shoot. There might be people around you who don't like perfume, they may be sensitive to strong fragrances, they might even be allergic. Bummer, right? Because you want to be polite and considerate, of course, you don't want to make anyone else feel sick or uncomfortable, but does that mean that you have to stop wearing your favorite fragrances? Nope. You just have to look for a few scents that work well in spaces like offices, classrooms, and other small spaces. I got this.

1. Si by Armani

Si by Armani Get it here: sephora.com

Si markets itself as a highly feminine perfume but the notes don't overwhelm with floral or fruity scents. Instead, you get hints of chypre, blond wood, and blackcurrant nectar.

2. Intrusion by Oscar De La Renta

Intrusion by Oscar De La Renta Get it here: fragrancenet.com

Contrary to the name, this fragrance is not at all intrusive. It's floral based, but it uses marine florals, so the flowery notes are fresh, a little salty, and altogether brighter than what you expect.

3. Oh Lola by Marc Jacobs

Oh Lola by Marc Jacobs Get it here: jet.com

Heather wears this and it is amazing. It's subtle but sweet, it's long lasting, and it won't agitate sensitive noses. I know because I have one and many of her perfumes over the years have given me epic migraines. Oh Lola won't do that, plus the bottle makes lovely décor.

4. Be Delicious by DKNY

Be Delicious by DKNY Get it here: fragrancenet.com

Wifey wears Be Delicious, too, and I love smelling it on her skin! It's crisp and fresh and, in keeping with the packaging, green apple is the most pervasive scent. Gorgeous!
