To find the person wearing Poison (lighthearted)

[wowfudge]

in the office and ask her never to wear it to work again?

Seriously, that stuff hasn't got any less stinky since it's late 80s/early 90s heyday. Plus I can smell it at my desk and whoever it is - and let's face it, she won't be hard to find - must be over ten metres away.

I'm having flashbacks and it's not great. Poison, the scent the entire office MUST share.

Don't agree with if you can smell your own scent you're wearing too much though. I wear scent for my own enjoyment. If I couldn't smell it, there would be little point in wearing it.

Hypnotic position is still available. I bought some not long ago.

Yes 80's.
Also, opium, rive gauche, Lou Lou, Paris, all of them preferable to poison

For me Angel is the modern Poison

My rule of thumb for wearing too much is if anyone who is out of arms reach of you can smell it it's too strong. I very rarely enjoy the smell of other people's fragrances and only wear the tiniest amounts myself.

And in the 80's most teenage boys wore Kouros - I can almost still smell it now.

For me, I can't stand the smell of Cerruti 1881 - I think it smells like perfume that's gone off.

I loved pure poison elixir, but have to make do pure poison now. I love love love it ( but only use it sparingly a little goes a long long way!) When I got married, my husband to be bought me some, he found it hilarious to go and buy poison for his soon to be wife

YY Kouros

Love 1881 and Allure!

These days I only buy boutique perfumes though. I've not met a famous brand perfume I've wanted to buy in years. Though I'll still take a shot of Rive Gauche if I'm passing.

Poison girl is lovely! And Black Opium.

My ballet teacher when I was 6 used to wear Rive Gauche, such a nostalgic smell to me!

Does anyone remember Paloma Picasso? Gosh that was strong!

Instant headache whenever I catch a smell of poison, I would have to say something if I was working with someone who wore it.

My mum used to drench herself in Rive Gauche for nights out, I remember a car journey where I felt totally nauseous because of it. I had a quick sniff in a shop a couple of years ago and nearly threw up, the association was so strong.

Find out who it is and for Christmas send her a bottle of Poison Girl. It's so much nicer!

Hehe I bought a bottle of poison for my ex-mil one Christmas. It was more about the name than the scent.... But she still wears it hahaha!!

My friend who is 50 wears Youth Dew now that is seriously rank!

Kouros was lush and reminds me of getting off with boys in the 80s

Loved Kouros (& Poison!)

I'm really shocked there's such a strong feeling against Poison. I'm clueless about perfumes but I really like poison hypnotic and have used it for 5 years + now. What else would I like instead of Hypnotic (non piss taking answers only please!!)

Hepzibar ...that's why i stopped wearing Poison...felt it dated me, but dh loves it and actually so do I, so I thought I'd have a flashback and treat the world to it again! :D

honeymoon...before I went back to Poison, I fell for Insolence by Guerlain...it also lasts well on me too

and I smelled the new Poison Girl...it just smells like every other Z-leb fragrance you pick up for a fiver on the market...pink candyfloss, cheap voddie with a bag of dodgy jelly sweeties.

Thierry Mugeler Alien actually makes me want to heave, as does someone wearing lashings of issey miyake

Whoknows so did my mom! Only when she went out, smells like hair spray doesn't it?

Joop is another one of those smells I can't even be around, reminds me of boys trying to kiss me at Parties

Aww, feeling a tad nostalgic. My Grandma wore Poison. I remember feeling physically ill at the smell when we shared a car and the family thinking it was hilarious that Poison made me feel ill!

I haven't worn Poison since the 90s but was always complemented when I used it. Reading this thread makes me think I was being lied to.

I'm with the poster who mentioned Clinique Aromatics. That smell brings back awful memories of a girl I car shared with, combination of her fags, that honking perfume and exhaust fumes still haunts me.
