    No. Perfume can be offensive to those of us with sensitive noses.

    I think a simple mist of something light would be appropriate. If you always wear it, you will most likely wear it on the job, no?

    I would say no. A lot of places are scent free these days (at least around here!) so wearing perfume will probably not be a good idea. You don't know if the interviewer is sensitive to scents or not. Better to be safe then sorry!

    First thing I was told was to never wear perfume when going to a job interview.

    Never. Too many people with allergies and some people have a pretty heavy hand even when they think they don't. It just might not be a pleasant scent for someone on the interview panel. Err on the side of no.

    I only wear a very very light perfume for job interviews. Any perfume you choose should be light and not overbearing.

    No musks or things like that.

    I'm not a lady...............but Imma give ya my 2 cents.....................first off, why would the ladies be the only suitable "answerers"?????????????? Do men not conduct interviews............let's use are heads ladies............


    Moving along..............I would not where any scent. Be scentless..............seriously.............you do not know who that interviewer is............you might be reminding him of his ex wife (that b*tch) you might make em think your all fluff and no work ethic. He/she might be allergic to certain scents and not wanna hire you thinking your always gonna wear the scent. No distractions..........especially if you really got it going on anyways......I mean job wise.

    Happy job hunting!

    Something light. If you don't typically wear something light, then don't wear anything at all. Some people are sensitive to stronger colognes and perfumes.

    Never. Unless it's the sort of job you wouldn't mention to your mother. It is an interview, not a date.
