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.

Tresor (autocorrect to Trevor:)) used to make magazines stink as they had a sample in every one.

The wretched pong of a musky man drenched in Joop is just about the most repulsive thing. It's always a certain kind of man too (a twat)

Also the cloying stench of Gucci flower

I have thought of another one Blue by D&G. I rem I had a colleague who used to smoke and everytime she would come back from having one, she would drown herself in it. So the mixture of the ciggie smell and the perfume used to make me feel so sick. I was in the early stages of pregnancy and had really bad morning sickness so one morning she was over at my desk and I puked in to my bin :(

Cacharel Eden gives me an instant sucky migraine

All of them.
Why some people feel the need to spay half a bloody bottle on themselves and then top it up throughout the day in public spaces is beyond me.

Less is definitely more.

None make get me into a vomitty rage, but anything that smells like the White Musk from the Bodyshop that teen girls used to soak themselves with in the 90s... yuk. Sickly and brings up bad memories.
Do they even sell it anymore?

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

I've always thought there was something wrong with me as everyone seems to love Chanel No5 and I can't stand it. I'm relieved to find out I'm not alone!

I hate Anais Anais as well.

got half way down page 2 and stopped reading, I only wear one perfume, Estee Lauder Youth Dew, sorry folks

Oh good, my perfume has only been mentioned three times so far 🤣 I’m sure a lot of the problem is people drenching themselves in stuff.

White Musk The Body Shop, absolutely vile

Poison - It makes me want to throw up

Yes

@BIoodyStupidJohnson

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.

@BloodyStupidJohnson

I am the exact same about La Vie Est Belle.

Cannot stand it but for some strange reason after reading about it and with a friend who loved it bought a bottle of the bloody stuff - not small either! Boak.

I used to hate DS going to nursery. He used to come home smelling of lots of different perfumes. I gave up on perfume a while ago but my favourites are from Miller Harris

Chloe Narciss
Angel
Issey Mayake
Samsara

There's probably about another 30 I can add to that list.

I only ever wear JPG Classique or Allure by Chanel, as I can't seem to find another scent I like.

Yes

Oh god, WHY? Why inflict that on others? Is it as popular as it was though? I did like the dewberry spray they did. Not darkened the door of Body Shop in a long time though.

Amazed that 'Ghost' is only mentioned once!
That and CK Be have some really horrible base or something. I hate it.

OTOH I love CK Eternity, White Musk and other 90s scents! (Never wear them though)

Joop and Dune.

Not vomitty as such but some smells make me cough enough to need my inhaler. Ditto with many candle scents

I can’t stand any of them. Almost all strong smells give me splitting headaches and sensitive sinuses.

Not only perfumes but washing powder, air fresheners, cleaning products etc all smell awful and bring on the headaches. Some of them, Oust for example, actually smell like vomit to me.. just so gross.

If I’m sitting near you on a train and I’m wearing a face mask it’s not because I’m protecting you from covid, I’m protecting myself from the stench..sorry 🤢

I used to love Angel in my 20s but it makes me gag now but not the Violet one of Angel!

Or iris one... forget which

Bijan

The few times I tried to wear it, it made me sick as well as anyone nearby.

I had a colleague who used to douse herself in Giorgio. AT THE DESK. It made me gag.

Estee Lauder bronze goddess. Revolting.

Loads of them. They can start migraines. They do start migraines, even the ones that you like. Half a squirt on the ankle once a year, on a really good head day.
