I know that perfume isn't the kind of thing you buy online, but...
I'm looking for a wear to work kind of perfume. Something that doesn't have that 'perfume' 'magazine' scent; more something that you kind of sniff twice and say, hey are you wearing perfume, it smells good. Something light, clean, fresh. If this reference helps at all, I've liked Banana Republic Classic, but wouldn't mind a bit more feminine.
Thank you!

I love Ralph by Ralph Lauren
Light, feminine, fresh, youthful, just a great everyday scent

Thanks. Is it strong? Like I wouldn't want it to be smelled unless someone was standing right near me... I don't like to leave a scent when I exit a room, in an elevator, etc. Thank you!

I love Marc Jacobs' Daisy Eau So Fresh. It has a nice citrus and flower scent without being overbearing. I wear it every day in the spring and summer. If you want to spend more, YSL's Black Opium is also gorgeous!

Perfume is fine if you work alone in an office with a door, but in other cases, it's an imposition on your coworkers. Not everyone likes perfume. Some people have allergies. And there's no way to avoid another person's perfume. It's the equivalent of playing music when your coworker needs quiet to work.

Please keep the perfume for home.

If your working environment includes many other people, you really should be considerate of those who may be allergic to perfume and not wear it to work. Where I last worked, two of us had a reaction to a perfume's scent. The other woman had to go home for the rest of the day, and I need about an hour to regulate my breathing. From what I now know, many places have a "no scent" policy. My company started enforcing their policy, which was already on their books, that day.
