Perfumes for inducing a vomitty rage

[Lexiconoflove]

In response to this lovely thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/4336303-Perfumes-of-your-life?pg=4 AIBU to suggest we get some lists of perfume that send you into a head-achy verge of vomiting rage? I’ll start with one I had to sit next to for a 5 hour stretch recently - Youth Dew 🤢. Also disliked by my mother, I’m still getting flash backs now.

Also I’ll add Lulu 🤮. Someone used to wear loads of it at work. I could barely keep my breakfast down when I walked in first thing.

Jo Malone Lime Mandarine and Basil.

Bit off topic but
My fella said my kitchen smelt of toilet, I cleaned the bin and drain then changed the cat litter. Has it gone, apparently not, so started emptying cupboards. Two hours later, still stinks. I couldnt smell it but asked what exactly does it smell of. Toilet cleaner! Hyacinth bulb on window ledge. Arse!

Anyone else got a perverse wish to go into Boots now and smell Angel for the first time in their lives to see why everyone hates it so much??!!

Yes I will be having a sniff

Poison smells of bubble gum on me

2 of my faves are on this list. Ck one and EA green tea. They are both very fresh smelling to me.

@UndercoverIntrovert

Anyone else just here checking that their favourite perfume isn't on the puke list?!

Me!!

Angel by Thierry Mugler 🤮 I can smell it a mile off and it gives me an instant headache and makes me gag.

I absolutely hate that and the one in the apple shaped bottle. I’ve been putting it in the hoover

A friend of mine used to wear Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet. She'd reapply it all day complaining that it didn't last long enough. I, on the other hand, only had to hug her once and I'd stink of it for the rest of the day and it used to give me hideous nauseating headaches.

Creed Aventus Thierry Mugler Alien Dior Apple perfumes

I LOVE Creed!

Anais Ana's is toxic. I'm convinced it is made of nuclear waste.

My mum recently passed away and we discovered about nine sealed bottles of Anais Anais. My niece was a little hurt as she had bought them for mum every Christmas, thinking she liked them. Mum wouldn't have wanted to hurt her feelings and would have just thanked her.

Jasmine smells of cats pee to me.

Anything musky. Yuk. Samsara springs to mind, makes me actually gag. I couldn’t talk to a colleague and actively avoided her because her perfume overwhelmed me.

I know in some parts of Canada, perfumes are banned in the workplace.

Someone on here suggested Angel when I asked for a vanilla perfume. I got a sample, nearly puked, I literally can’t breathe if I can smell it. I went back to So Vanilla, much less toxic.

Angel. Actually, anything with vanilla. But especially Angel. It has made me vomit in the past.
I once had to ask to be moved on a short flight, when the woman next to me was wearing Body Shop vanilla perfume. (Years ago, obviously!) She was most put out! I did suggest I vommed on her instead.

My mum has always loved Narcisco Rodrigues but I think it smells of disinfectant- must be a top note in it somewhere!

For me Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musc (the white bottle) is stunning. One of the best.

lady million yuk

An old friend of my mums used to wear a perfume that to me smelled like the sewers, it was sickening. Had no idea what it was until many years later a friend arrived for a night out wearing the same perfume, So asked her what it was……Ghost (the original) had to then pretend it was because I liked it! I spent the whole night trying not to get too close!

Dd wears the purple Beyoncé one…..that to me smells vile. But others seem to like it. So maybe it’s just me, I’ve asked her to go easy when she’s wearing it as I really can’t stand it.

Sunflowers. I smelled it on someone once and it was so rank I asked want it was just to make sure I never bought a bottle.

Black Orchid by Tom Ford - I liked it for a while. I bought it after I smelled it on someone else. After a while it made me feel sick every time I wore it!

When I was about 9/10 I asked what that rotten smell of piss was....turned out to be my aunts perfume of poison!!!! Wow is that rank!!!

My dad was once given a set of talc and aftershave, which smelled exactly like the stuff mum used to clean the bath. He never used it, but kept it on a shelf in their bedroom for years.

@PollyPepper

So many saying Angel, and I don't disagree, but what about the other one Womanity by Thierry Mugler did? I think it got discontinued pretty sharpish because I haven't seen it for years but fuck me it was horrific. Like a salty fish 🤢

I quite liked womanity ‘at times’- only ever sniffed it in store. It was intriguing but I totally get that it was contentious. Clearly it was hated as it was discontinued. I don’t really like anything by Mugler, but the worst is of course Angel.

God yes. One of my uni cohort had the hand cream and would apply it in seminars snd I had to ask her politely to stop because it made me nauseous.

Got into the lift at work and the colleagues therein immediately said "Can you smell gas? It's horrible!"
It was Dior's Diorella, liberally sprayed upon my person before an evening out. I still love Diorella; all that citrus keeps the mozzies away!
