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.

@Lockheart

I must be strange, I can't think of any that make me "gag" "heave" or suffer any of the other amateur dramatics that clearly afflict so many.

There are certainly ones I don't like, but that's not really the same.

Ten pages of different people saying the same thing - and several recurring perfumes mentioned. We can't all be neurotic am-drammers.

Just be thankful you don't have this sensitivity to certain chemicals.

Not a perfume as such but put on a new deodorant last night and it stinks.

Usually perfumes make me sneeze, but they changed the perfume in my usual roll on and it made me so itchy I wanted to claw my skin off.

I really dislike perfume. Spraying it in public places is the height of antisocial behaviour especially enclosed spaces such as toilets or public transport. It doesn't even smell nice to me. I get horrible migraines from most strong fragrances, the kind where you need to take pain relief and lie down not just a little headache.

Another vote for Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir. Migraine central.

Eden, Charlie red, dewberry and white musk. Dune gives me an instant headache, ugh and ultraviolet.

I don’t like poison, but love pure poison. I use angel but as small a skoosh as I can manage.
