To ladies and gentlemen, do you wear fragrances? If so do you also wear them to Mass?

No, I never do.

Think about what the point of it is. Is it humble? Is it chaste?

I do not like the idea of people being able to smell me. It can bring impure temptations and I know people who have admitted experiencing this from being able to smell someone of the opposite. 

Perfume and cologne commercials also involve impurity; there is a reason for that. I recall reading some of these scents actually contain hormone disrupting chemicals that incline people to their animal nature. 

St. Alphonsus Liguori says it is a ridiculous practice.

No I don't wear fragrances and from my perspective it doesn't seem like a common practice anymore.  Most of the people I know at church don't wear a fragrance.
