Weekend Poll: Perfume Habits--how much and how often?

I have been thinking recently that I spray perfume quite a bit more than I used to. The days of 1-2 spritzes 1-2 times a day were not so long ago, perhaps a couple of years. Now that I've amassed a lovely collection and keep bottles and decants displayed or stowed in strategic places, I'm never more than an arm's length away from olfactory satisfaction. I've just got so much perfume, that I realized that I've got to use it. If I don't use it, it doesn't get to live, it won't have the sun shine down upon it. It will be destined to be an inanimate, unloved object.

[I own this vintage Caron ad- ain't she a beaut?]

So these days, I apply perfume 4-5 times a day, sometimes it's the same scent all day, other times they're all different. And how many spritzes do I indulge in currently? It kind of depends on the fragrance, but usually about 6. One on each wrist, one on the back of my neck, one or two on my throat, and one on my decolletage. If I'm wearing a dress, I'll go for a spritz behind each knee, also. I've quadrupled my consumption, and I feel no shame. When I'm going to be around a bunch of people, I'll spray much less before heading out the door. I'm not without a conscience, you know.

I'd like to hear about your spraying habits too. Is it a clandestine affair, or are you as shameless as I am? Do you conservatively dab, or spray like the garden hose has been turned on you? Is it none of my beeswax? (Mmm... beeswax)
