Work Friendly Fragrances

Fragrance Fans Help! 😩

I am a healthcare worker & I am looking for a non offensive but memorable perfume. Something that gives “pretty clean girl, slick back bun, glasses & scrub uniform ” vibes. I’ve been on this never ending hunt to find a signature worthy fragrance for work that won’t give me or the patients a headache. Does anyone have any recommendations? I am not drawn to vanilla or coconut fragrances but I am opened to anything 🙏🏻

Re: Work Friendly Fragrances

Hiii  

Some non offensive scents I would suggest from my collection would be - 

- PHLUR Father Figure Eau De Parfum 1.7 oz / 50 mL (they also have deodorant in that scent too!!) 

- SKYLAR Pink Canyon Eau De Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL 

- Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 48 Perfume Mist 

- The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Eau de Parfum Spray 

- Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette with Lemon & Apple 

- Le Monde Gourmand, Fleur De Blonde 

 

I hope you get to smell some of these and like them !! 🌿🫧🩷

Try checking out scents from Jo Malone London. I am sensitive to strong scents, and theirs tend to be lighter. Only downside is they're not the longest living ones, but if you don't mind replying it once, maybe twice, they're soft enough that you have to lean in to smell, but lovely smelling that you feel gorgeous. ❤️ 

Re: Work Friendly Fragrances

As a nurse working long shifts in a fast-paced environment, I’ve learned the power of fragrance to lift my mood and keep me grounded. Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia has truly become my signature scent — it’s soft, floral, and just happy without being overpowering.

 

I get so many compliments from coworkers and even patients (the few who can smell it under the mask!). It’s fresh, feminine, and comforting — the perfect pick-me-up during a stressful day.

 

If you’re looking for a scent that feels elegant yet approachable, I can’t recommend this one enough. Plus, it lasts surprisingly well — even after 12-hour shifts!

 

Any other nurses or healthcare pros here with go-to fragrances? Would love to swap favorites!

Re: Work Friendly Fragrances

I just sampled this yesterday, immediately thought of this thread so @celyx3 & @karanrandhawa , consider Marc Jacobs Fragrances Perfect Eau de Parfum Travel Spray with Daffodil & Musk 0.33 oz / 10 mL .  It's definitely a skin scent, the daffodil gives it a little floral, but the cashmeran keeps it musky/skinlike

Re: Work Friendly Fragrances

Thanks so much for thinking of me and tagging me! 😊 I actually love that you mentioned Perfect by Marc Jacobs—such a pretty, comforting scent. I gave it a try recently, and I totally get what you mean about the daffodil and the soft, musky vibe from the cashmeran. It definitely leans more skin-scent and subtle, which I think would be perfect for everyday wear or layering.

 

If you’re into Marc Jacobs fragrances, I’d also recommend checking out Daisy Eau de Toilette. It’s a little brighter and more youthful with that fresh floral feel—kinda like spring in a bottle! 🌼 Not as musky as Perfect, but still super easy to wear and crowd-pleasing.

 

Thanks again for the thoughtful recommendation—it’s always so fun to explore new scent profiles! 💖

@CynthieLu @danielledanielle @greeneyedgirl107  Thank you so much for your recommendations😊🫶🏻

Re: Work Friendly Fragrances

I'd recommend going in store to sniff test these: @celyx3 

 

CLEAN RESERVE Classic - CLEAN Original 

Maison Margiela REPLICA' Bubble Bath Eau de Toilette with Soap Bubble, Rose, White Musk, and Coconut Milk

PHLUR Missing Person Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL eau de parfum spray 

 

I hope these are something closer to what you are looking for. But let us know if you find the right one for you. 🌸 

Re: Work Friendly Fragrances

@celyx3 I would say original Chloe or j'ador.  I personally wear Estee Lauder Pleasures.

Re: Work Friendly Fragrances

@celyx3 Seconding the Chloe! ❤️

 

Or, go skin scent like PHLUR Missing Person Eau de Parfum or Juliette Has a Gun Not A Perfume
