    I'd say no, unless you forgot to shower.

    I'd keep it to a body wash. But not perfume.

    Yeah...cologne/perfume should only be used in enough amount that only someone RIGHT UP ON YOU will smell it. Not people in a 5-10 foot radius...

    NO! the wrong scent can be very off-putting. And the person you interview with may have an allergy to perfumes!

    EXACTLY!!!!! Thank you!!

    Perfume is supposed to be an intimate thing. Someone should be able to smell it on you if you embrace, if you're dancing together, or they are standing extremely close to you.

    You're not suppose to marinate in it.

    And I would say definitely NO for an interview. You don't know who could be scent-sensitive in that work place.

    Yes but LIGHTLY. I mean SO LIGHTLY it's almost not there ... which begs the question; why wear it anyway?

    Honestly, I wouldn't... you don't know if A) there is a policy against wearing perfume or 2) if an interviewer is allergic/sensative to perfume... if it's strong or just the right scent it can be distracting

    None you never know what a stranger is sensitive to. If they are allergic to you you will stand out as a poor reminder, and someone they will not want in the same building as them.
