I feel like even if this would be a casual environment, you should still wear appropriate clothing for the interview. As far as the perfule comment, my ex boss who happens to be female would always wait until she got to work to spray her victoria secret body spray on. Although it smelled wonderfully (to me anyway), it was so overpowering that it smelled up the entire office building. I actually got tired of smelling the stuff to where it started to make me want to puke. You should NOT wear loud perfume, especially in a building with little office space, and you definitely don't need to wait until you get to work to spray it on. I totally agree with this.

TO DL HUNT - TO BE FAIR, THE USE OF "MAN" WAS ONLY MENTIONED WITHIN THE QUESTION NOT WITHIN THEIR ACTUAL ANSWER TO THE QUESTION?!? EXCELLENT ADVICE.

As women seek equality in the workplace, certainly the people who help us find work can accord us the dignity of referring to us as women and not using flowery terms that demean us and make us less than our male counterparts. As for the perfume, do not wear any at all and check that any toiletries or cosmetics you use are unscented. Firstly, fragrances are personal things. What might be sweet to one is stinky to another. Then, there are many people with sensitivities to fragrances and in an enclosed environment such as an interview room or office their effects become further pronounced.
