I personally don’t see cologne/perfumes as an issue! I love them and I think it’s a nice pick me up. Just be mindful of how much you use in case someone around you has allergies

As long as you dont define "a little" the same way the Macy's fragrance department does, absolutely. If I can smell it when I walk past you, that's the right amount. If I can smell it when just sitting in the same room, that's the wrong amount. If I can smell it because you previously occupied some section of the building and have since left the office entirely, nope never again.
As long as it’s Axe and it’s caked on thick, you’re good.

Yes!
As long as you’re not overdoing it, no issue.
Just don’t overdo it. A lot of us like a nice cologne. And I think people are still pretty spread out in most offices, right?
It’s fine! I did get told by a coworker once that they had a sensitivity to perfumes that gave them migraines. It wasn’t someone I worked with directly so I just moved where I usually worked. That is the only possible issue I could imagine.
Why would it be an issue?
There are people who have extreme sensitivity to artificial scents, such as perfume, cologne, scented soaps and shampoos, air fresheners, and so on. Exposure to people wearing cologne can cause these people to experience skin rashes, headaches/migraines, all sorts of bad stuff.
Plus, in general, many men don’t have a good concept of what “a little cologne” actually is. If I can smell you coming, it’s too much.
I’ve been putting a bit of perfume on and nobody’s complained, so go wild

Always worn perfume or EDT. As long as you're mindful of the strength and if the smell might be too pungent or "different".
Kinda like eating at your desk.
I've been using Aesop's Hwyl as a light inoffensive option and CdG's Black Pepper when I dgaf.
It’s not really en vogue to wear cologne these days, it’s a dated thing from yesteryear that most younger creative people would make fun of you behind your back if you wear it. Just my opinion - I also roll my eyes when a colleague smells like a New Jersey nightclub.

But what if I’m the one being retro or ironic wearing it! “Making it cool again.” Cool AF yeah?!!??
My god help us all if we need to ask questions to remember how to be a person again
Many offices are scent free. Over sprayers need to slapped. 1 half spray max should be the limit.
