Feh, they all smell like alcohol to me.

I have the same problem in the Wicks and Sticks Candle Store! Obnoxious Olfactory Overload Syndrome

No one believes that those perfumes can lay me low. Allergies are no joke, but everyone seems to think I’m making it up or something.

1. Chanel No. 5 is the world’s premiere perfume.2. Women always put on so much Chanel No. 5 that it smells like a whorehouse.3. Women who can get their hands on it should wear as little of it as possible.

Why would Jimbo be interested in perfume? I can understand when it’s on a woman…

Perfume in the bottle is often completely different on the skin. For me, one quick wrist spritz and a wrist-to-wrist touch will do for the entire day, whereas some of my former job co-workers would do twenty to twenty-five continuous latherings to the point you would SEE the mist as the walked through the hallways. (And yes, I try to be conscious of my current co-workers who cannot take scents well: they order a pizza without onions or peppers for me, I lay off the perfume for them. Happy office overall.)

I’m 84 and they all smell awful to me. There is a note in my VA office that tells family members that many GIs are allergic to perfumes

I’m with Pasquale.

What’s worse is potpourri – they reserve the cheapest quality perfume for that stuff. That’s high on my unwritten list of Stuff That Should Have Never Been Invented.

The nearest house to our dairy barn was at least 200 feet away and owned by a nice couple my age. When her mother came to visit you could tell the moment when she left their house, her perfume overpowered the manure, silage and diesel fumes in and around the barn!! I cannot imagine being in the same room with her!

is there a difference between cheap toilet water and the high priced luxury perfumes?

I’m surprised Jimbo is enjoying it.

And try getting through the cosmetic department unscathed. All those people spraying that crap at you.

I have no sense of smell, so my eloved has saved (or just not spent at the perfume counter) a lot of money over the last 27 years. Of course, she STILL holds things up to me and asks how it smells. :)

@vwdualnomandthere is no difference between cheap toilet water and the high priced luxury perfumes, they’re all full of chemicals. which is why many people are “allergic” to them. So yeah, gak is right!

As for yesterday everyone was saying that there aren’t any squirrel proof feeders, but they’re are/is. It’s called the perky pet squirrel-be-gone. I have it and it works great. The squirrels still get some food, the stuff the birds drop on the ground. :)

The lotion version of the scent is usually good enough to leave a faint scent. One of my favorites is Wicked Wahine and for some reason, they don’t have any lotion for it.

I wonder if there are any “pheremone” perfumes that really work? (smell of money is not a pheremone!)

What smells good to him smells like insecticide to me. He isn’t thrilled by my preferences, either, but somehow, both of us liked Liz’s “White Diamonds.”

It’s ‘remotely’ possible that it would help to change the ‘chanel’!

I tend to get a headache when I walk into either a perfume counter or a scents and candles shop. We have a strict rule in our choir as well — no perfume or high-scented deodorants, please!

Scents give me headaches.

My sentiments exactly!

Sorry Pasquale’s not liking it.

Pasquale’s not the only one whose nose goes wacky in the perfume department. I try to avoid even passing it.
