If people use too much perfume or aftershave in this heat, it seems to smell even more.......mind you it's better than stinking of garlic or BO....

My son when he was a teenager used to overdo it......I think he might be responsible for depleting the ozone layer.......we used to tell him to be more subtle.....but no.......full on, it used to make me choke.....

Luckily one of his friends must have told him, because he seemed to get the message....

poison midnight
the one in the blue bottle is lighter and smells nice
i like joy coco miss dior and paris myself
though my son bought me chenel no5 for my birthday
and it smells good to

When Poison first came out I worked in a chemists. It used to make all the staff feel sick and it was a very large shop. Anyway in the end the girls on the cosmetics counter used to hide the tester.

I like Channel No 5 and Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass but everything in moderation. As someone already said spray the air and walk through it.

Some perfumes smell brilliant on some folk but awful on others a bit like cat pee.

I find you sense of smell alters with age and hormonal changes.

When I was first pregnant I adored Poison and Lou Lou ( Cacharell) cannot stand them since giving birth, they went into the bin !

I still and always have loved Chanel No 5
and lately Paco rabanne Ultraviolet Man, hubby, son and I all use it.
Hubby's given up on Chanel- A Gentleman's Spray , it's light but a bit musky so I use that in the day when he's not here to remind me of him:)

I love Duty Free but spray so many different perfumes on so many parts of my body I feel a bit queasy myself - especially on the ferry if the sea is a bit rough!!!

Poison is the most ghastly perfume ever made - the name suits it, but Angel - well that is just heavenly

I'd really like to get a whiff of Evening in Paris again - used to think I was really sophisticated in my teens with a dab or two of that when I went out!!

Remember when Helena Rubenstein brought out Apple Blossom - it was as if the whole world was drenched in the stuff - would probably hate it now

I love perfume - in moderation. I train volunteers to work on the oncology ward and treatment centre of our local hospital. I tell them that perfume is a no-no when working with patients.

I think there is nothing nicer than a slight waft of nice perfume or after-shave but gag if it's on too heavy - especially when in a lift or public transport.

from a ma,s point of view Poison on women is horrible, makes me run for the door,
I don't use aftershave but i do use minimally Issay Miaki cologne and sometimes Bulgari,but only co,s mres igor likes them as their not overpowering,
igor

i always like to smell good
maybe i sometimes over do it

Memo to self - don't sit next to Ann!

I love experimenting in duty free

I love perfume but hate heavy perfume during the day. Don't like it when i get on a Flight and the woman sitting next to me has been experimenting in the duty free. And absolutely detest poison, ugh!!!

Jill, perhaps they had been through a "Car Wash" they sometimes Scent the rinsing water,**M**.pmsl.

HI Ladies, may I say to all, including aftershave wearers, please spare a thought for us Asthma sufferers when you lash perfume on.

Espesially if you travel by bus, as we can't escape the fumes then.

What is wrong with the smell of a cleanly-washed body anyway ??

I love Perfume,I have to wear a oil based one, as with fair skin you absorb spirit based one's,I don't wear cheap perfume,so i only have to put on once a day.It makes me feel feminine. and having, said that, my next sentence sounds daft but i also prefer the smell of alot of after shaves.Not A flowery person.x

Hiya Jill... I had some pretty heavy chemo.... one of the side effects was losing my sense of smell... yesterday, I just got a slight waft of one of my roses, so hopefully it is on the way back, lol! It's been almost 5 months!

Love

Daff xxx

Maybe I need to ask them in future - so the ones that make me go bleeugh I can try and avoid!

My sister wears Angel perfume.She loves it ....I can't stand it as it makes my throat go all claggy lol

Back in the late 70's early 80's when I was a nurse we were not allowed to wear perfume.
I love my perfume .I don't feel dressed if I haven't had a squirt lol

You should smell some (most) of the men around my High Street, Mrs G! Overpowering in this weather. C XX

There was one woman at work who used to lash it on. I couldn't get into the lift with her or even after she'd just come out of it - it was dreadful. (I think that might have been Poison - good name!)

Jill

I think that's the problem Country Gal - some people seem to respray throughout the day as they lose the smell of it ...

Daff - how did you lose your sense of smell?
