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 Pomegranate noir
Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess
Angel
Poison

I really want to like pomegranate noir but it gives me a horrendous headache.

Sort of unrelated but the smell of leather car seats/new car makes me have terrible nausea. I always remember the smell of my dads very strong aftershave mixed in with leather/car when we drove to school in the mornings and getting the worst headaches and nausea sometimes I get a whiff of a similar aftershave and it brings back horrible sicky memories!

Glad to see my perfume isn’t on the list yet!

The 1980s seemed to be full of nausea inducing perfumes. Rive Gauche, Poison, Opium, Dewberry 🤮

When I had hyperemesis, the only scent I could be anywhere near without vomiting was Davidoff Cool Water.

Obsession and eternity .
Worst ever was Clinique Aromatics - no idea if they still sell it 🤢

Issey Miyake and Ghost. Barf.

All of them! And don't get me started on Lynx, vomit on the first sniff.

I’d like to take this opportunity to apologise to everyone in my first year at university which coincided with my discovery of the Body Shop’s Dewberry.

Fracas. I don’t find it vomitty rage inducing, just mystifying that anyone would want to smell as if they were just on the turn.

I am two much bothered about buying any of the perfumes mentioned on here. after reading all the comments, as price wise it would bother me,if the expensive ones were horrible.. I am an oldie, and used to buy a few Avon perfumes years ago, and some were quite nice, and also Max Factor had a few pleasant ones. Some fragrant Yardley perfumes were ok, but not very long lasting in fragrance.

Maybe I should put one of the Zoflora fragrances in a little spray bottle, and use that instead. !!

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

Glad this is getting a few votes and it’s not just me!

Used to work with two people who wore this - it smelt slightly different but overpoweringly awful on both of them. Makes me gip just thinking about it.

Surely the prize for worst 'fragrance' ever should go to brut. Can't believe its stiil being sold. I thought it was discontinued years ago.

Poison!! Never has a perfume been more suitably named.
I do like ck one though ...smells like a light aftershave to me, the polar opposite to Poison.

Eden
Miracle
Any Britney Spears, J Lo, Beyonce, Victoria's Secret sweet smelling crap.

Angel is the worst. I also hate Le Labo Santal 33, can’t understand why it’s so popular.

Glad to see my perfume isn’t on the list yet!

A few of my favourites have!

Yikes, so many.

But what really bothers me is a lot of men seem to be wearing a body spray that smells like shit, literally. 💩🤮

When I was at school I lent a friend my exercise book and when she returned it, her pet cat had sprayed on it
I wasn't allowed a new one until I had used up all the pages so my mum sprayed her Rive Gauche on it. My whole schoolbag smelt of tomcat pee and Rive Gauche for months and smelling it now makes me feel so ill!!

@UndercoverIntrovert

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

And is it?

I'm a bit like this with all perfumes, to be honest. At least, if someone has used too much and walks past in a cloud of the stuff.... Vile.

How much do other posters use and how do you apply it?

YANBU but especially so many people who seem to have bathed in perfume or after shave - fucking unnecessary.

Didn’t last long, it’s been mentioned now!

Poison, Obsession, Chanel No 5 (don't get it at all - smells like a nursing home), Tommy Girl, Giorgio, Tresor, Gaultier & can't remember what that one in the weird pyramid turquoise bottle with a burgundy trim was called but lots of my mates wore it and it was rank.
Lots of really heavy ones that I don't know the name of but a certain type of perfume makes me feel really sick.

Farenheit! Forgotten that one - had a really horrible boyfriend in 1990 who wore it - bleurgh!
Also mens Drakar Noir, Polo & Kouros.

Another vote for Poison. My sinuses are tingling just thinking about it.
Also Jean Paul Gaultier aftershave.

Angel by Thierry Mugler 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I literally get an instant headache if I smell it. One of the women I used to work with wore it and used to spray it in the office - had to stop myself from rugby tackling her to the floor whenever she got the bottle out! 😷😷😷😷😷

My mum wears Lulu. I associate the smell of it with my mum and a kind of warm safe fluffy feeling

I’m glad that somebody mentioned Elizabeth Arden Red Door. Christ, it’s awful. Like napalm. Usually worn by Grande dame types in offices who enjoy having a teenage work experience girl to boss around.

Tweed now smells of ashtrays, maybe it always did. It is available in cheap shops near you. I got quite the shock when I sniffed a tester bottle.
