anita Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yes, Bobbette, I do! The problem is people don't understand that just because you like a particular scent, it doesn't mean it smells good on you! Honestly, some peoples chemistry makes the best perfume/cologne smell like bathroom air freshener when it's needed. Yuck!!! Anita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 The candle stores are bad too. I love Yankee Candles, but when in a store that has all the "flavors" it almost makes me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 WOW, you all are super great!! I didn't know others felt the way I do. I'm not for taking away choices (except I love the smoking ban) some perfumes and guys stuff smell good but others make me sick. I'm afraid the "popular" stuff falls into the sick catagory. I can relate, my first crush wore "Brut" and I loved it. However, guess what happened to me this morning? I went to vote this morning and when they handed me the card to stick into the computer, yep is smelled to high heaven of perfume!!!!! I've washed my hands several times and still can't get rid of the smell.:mad: Oh Vicki, you are right, nothing smells or feels better then "fresh, new" fabric:cool::cool::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanri Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hear that went to the football game and all I could taste was the old ladies perfume we were with!

LibbyG Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I didn't realize so many people had the same problem I do. I actually tell my friends that if I drive they can't wear perfume. I taught fifth grade for 38 years and I'd tell my students not to wear some things, because I couldn't breathe. I was nice about it, but I couldn't even help them with anything because I was sneezing so hard. There were times I would have to stop teaching, have the students wash the boards, and get rid of the excess chalk. I'm a lot better now that I'm retired.

Dave-Jane Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 O.K. Ladies, I just gotta know-- one of my daughters friends, boyfriend was wearing that AXE stuff, I had to go out and sit with the horses and llamas. Do you think the commercials are true? Do you really love it?? Or maybe its really Dad repellent in a can?---Dave B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those dumba$$ commercials with the idiot teen boys spraying the stuff in the store and girls chasing them--stupid. But effective--you couldn't get away from the stench of the stuff. And yes wise Grasshopper--it reeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I once knew a guy who wore so much cologne, he smelled up a room. Unfortunately, the cologne smelled like Raid bug spray. I had to move to the other side of the room to breathe a little...LOL...always knew when he walked in the door before you could see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rae50 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 We have a friend who runs the outpatient surgery department at a nearby hospital. She has several nurses on her staff who get migraines and have other problems with perfume type scents. Patients are given a set of directions when they go in for pre-op tests. These include instructions that the patient is not to use scented soap, scented deodorant, scented hair products, perfume, or after shave cologne products the morning of their procedure. She doesn't want members of her staff to get sick and the unit can't function properly if these staff need to leave because of illness. Our daughter had to share an office with a guy who reeked of after shave or cologne. It was so bad that she said she could taste it. She started getting headaches. She felt bad saying anything to him because he was a rather large man and she figured that he was worried about offending people with possible body odor. She ended up avoiding her office as often as she could while he was in the office. He ended up moving to a different space and her new office mate doesn't overdue it with his after shave stuff.
