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.

Second vote for angel by Thierry mulger. Vile! So vile. I cannot believe anyone enjoys it

I recently was sucked in by all the hype around Tom ford lost cherry and bought a bottle. It was very very expensive.
It smells vile on me and it makes me want to take every stitch off myself and shower in bleach afterwards.

My daughter 17 loves it but I hate the smell so much that she is not allwoed to wear it anywhre near me.

Angel, of course.

And any (and seemingly most scents are of this family) gourmand perfumes. Really dislike sweet scents.

Chanel no 5. Makes me feel sick. My mum loves the stuff. That and White Linen. Horrendous.

Philosophy Amazing Grace. I had to get off a train because of a woman wearing it. Instant migraine.
See also: Angel, Alien, Flowerbomb, La Vie Est Belle.

Angel by Thierry Mugler (sp). So sweet; so horrid.

Hahaha I see I'm not the only angel hater

Angel
Far and away ( black and white bottle?)
Headachy nastiness in a bottle.
Checking to see if mine are on here...

For my Mum, it's her Sunflowers one.

Sunlflowers smells like furniture polish to me!

@UndercoverIntrovert

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

Me! 👋

Not vomit inducing as such, but a bit of a disappointment: Sun, Moon and Stars by Karl Lagerfeld. It's discontinued and very expensive, but my friend absolutely raves about it. How popular it was in the 90s and what memories it brings back for her.

For her birthday, I bought her a small bottle in an atomizer. I'd never come across it before, so sprayed a little onto my wrist (I told my friend I'd done this and she was fine with it). I was expecting something fragrant and celestial, but it just smelled of warm sand on a beach - heavy and slightly musky. Not my kind of scent at all.

My friend was delighted with it, though. That's all that matters.

La Vie Est Belle is mine. Absolute niffer.

D&G Light Blue. Both the women's and the men's one. Smells like loo cleaner to me.

There's a men's one that comes in a bottle that looks hilariously like the chamber of a pistol. Wanted, I think it's called. Lawks, it's ghastly.

I have to say I do rather like Angel, although I apply it extremely sparingly; half a spray if that.

My friend who loves Sun Moon and Stars is also not a fan of Angel, by the way. Headache inducing stuff!

Poison, aptly

Giorgio Beverly Hills, but luckily now a rarity. I was stuck next to someone wearing it at an opera once, got the worst headache. Most perfumes set me off, tbh.

I shared a lift with someone who had liberally applied Poison (she was large of stature and wearing a fur coat (no idea if real) and looked like she ate meek people for breakfast . We travelled a mere 3 floors. I had a splitting headache for the rest of the day. No idea how she coped with living in that cloud, can only assume she ordered her headache to stop. 🤣

Angel. The worst perfume ever made. Smells like toilet or air freshner.

I have a teenage boy, which is how I know that Lynx makes me cough. It is very hard to give instructions/orders/reminders to someone when you're coughing too much to speak. DS takes advantage of that.

DD has reached the age where she thinks the cheap Victoria's Secrets scents are fantastic. The only tolerable one is the watermelon one, but even that is quite sickly.

Poison, Obession, Eternity

Slightly ashamed to say that I love Angel. Haven’t used it for a while though since someone told me I smelled chavvy!

The one that really sets me off is Charlie. I used to work with someone who doused herself in it regularly and it would give me coughing fits.

@Mylittlecoconuts

CK One Calvin Klein Eternity

Both give me migraine.

I really don't like Calvin Klein perfumes.

Yes!! Me neither. CK Eternity is terrible

She looked like she wouldn't have been out of place adorning the prow of a fearsome warship of old. In a way the inability to breathe within 10 feet of her was fitting.

@AutistGoth

My friend who loves Sun Moon and Stars is also not a fan of Angel, by the way. Headache inducing stuff!

Those are all awful. I think Elizabeth Arden Sunflower fits in with these too

I used to quite like CK One, not enough to wear it but it was quite pleasant on someone who was standing around 10 feet away.

Dior Fahrenheit, teenage boys in the 90s were all wearing it. Can't stand it

Davidoff Cool Water both the male and female versions

My mum used to wear Youth Dew and I hated it but now she's in a care home with advanced dementia I feel quite nostalgic about it.
