To think that people shouldn’t wear large squirts of very very potent perfume?

[Brandnewskytohangyourstarsupon]

It’s the equivalent of listening to music and shite on loud speaker on public transport. Everyone around them has to suffer it.

I was actually wheezing and felt nauseous at the strength of someone’s perfume the other day and I couldn’t leave or move away from it.

FFS, why are people so self absorbed?

I am, thankfully. All those things are disgusting.

Too much slap won’t make you wheeze, give you headaches and make you feel nauseous will it.

You know from the strength of the stink that it has been squirted to death… excessively.

Self absorbed, ABSOLUTELY because they have zero concern or even thoughts about anyone else around them.

Selfish, self absorbed and do not care about others. That’s the definition isn’t it.

It's always the foul smelling perfumes, never the nice ones, too.

They are just people living their lives, as long as they don’t stab you, that’s the main thing, life’s becoming so boring and intolerant!

So all of these things are ok with you then?

I forgot to say I’m mid 60s but have a v good sense of smell still. Hearing shot but am like a bloodhound when it comes to smell.

You entitled to your opinion but can't control it

No one should wear perfume detectable to anyone other than themselves.

heavy perfume is dangerous. It absolutely sucks to start breaking out in hives, wheezing, and have your lips swell because some idiot decided to douse themselves in scent. I vacate the area as fast as I can. One day, I may not be able to get away from the person. I don’t actually know what will happen. I have epipens and inhalers, but I don’t know if they will be enough.

I've mentioned this before but wearing a lot of perfume is a faux pas in Japan and some restaurants will even not let you enter.
All part of living in a society with consideration.

I must have seen it on a bossy 90s teen movie once, but I always spray the air and the walk through the mist, rather than squirting it directly on my skin. Multiple squirts directly onto the skin is far too much of any perfume.

YANBU - heavy perfume, even on other people, gives me a migraine (although tbf everything gives me a migraine these days 🙄)

I agree it's awful they stink. Does their nose not work!

God I was trapped in the car with my elderly MIL for 3 hours last February, there and back, and she reeked and I mean reeked of Angel which she resprayed all over before we got out of the car. I was gagging, we had to open the windows and it was snowing! My DH actually ended up having to use the carpet shampooer on the seat and even then it lingered. She has always used far too much perfume but it has become ridiculous.

Clearly you are one of the perfumed nose blind problem people that stink everyone out.

It's not a binary choice between BO and perfume!

Nobody should be able to smell you unless they want to be close enough to kiss you

I used to think Angel smelt amazing. In the end, some people intervened and I realised the error of my ways.

Still feel quite embarrassed about it. And it was so expensive! I used to save up and go to Selfridge’s especially!

Some of them trigger my asthma badly, I am glad Dior’s Poison seems to have gone out of fashion as I once coughed till I nearly vomited after sharing a lift with someone wearing a massive amount of it.

That's the standard you live by? As long as they don't stab you? My standards for decent human behaviour are higher.

Do you not think it’s a bit entitled to subject everyone to overpowering perfume though? One or two sprays is obviously enough

Perfume triggers my migraines. I wish some people realised the effect they can have on others.

Better than BO

Omg, I missed this rant. Wtf is wrong with wimmin in the swimmin pools. They don't shower before swimming, therefore I have to taste their nasty perfumes/deodorants
Absolutely mingin.
We should start a campaign!!

Decent human behaviour, like banning people from wearing fucking perfume, it’s just so god damn ridiculous. I sometimes wonder how some of the folk on mumsnet cope on the outside without melting like sugar at anything that other people do. Live and let live, and yes, don’t get stabbed 😂😂😂😂

I've honestly rarely smelt perfume on anyone else and I'm a perfume person so I notice

Mostly all I smell is body odour, old alcohol and tonsil stones (so many people have bad breath and you know the smell if you've ever had them!)

Never smelled a perfume that smelled worse than a dog 🤢

When I smell such strong perfume it gives me PTSD of when I was in a chemical gas leak accident... No idea why people do it.
