What is this foul perfume I keep smelling everywhere?

[UserX]

Today on an hour long commute I noted 3 separate women wearing this same overpowering scent. It’s sort of warm as if it’s a lotion instead of a spray. Smells like pineapple & strawberry sweets mixed with sun cream, like a 3 yo’s sticky hands after a day at the beach. And it’s overwhelming, you don’t just get a waft as someone walks by, it hangs in the air, like someone has dumped a half eaten rainbow ice lolly behind the radiator and you haven’t discovered it until the heat comes in in October. Any thoughts?

No idea. You will have to ask them! I hate that Calvin Klein scent - the first one he did? Smells like Cooper's fly spray. I keep assuming someone has sprayed the air with Coopers but it turns out to be their scent. Ugh.

I also hate when grown women wear little girly sickly sweet scent. The perfume shops are full of these 'sleb scents. Ugh.

Said she that used to wear Dewberry!!

Sounds like a Viktor and Rolf one. To me they smell sickly sweet.

My SIL wears flower bomb or Rock and Rose and I really don’t like them.

Probably Angel or Bronze Goddess. Both smell foul to me.

I really dislike fruity perfumes and especially ones with melon in, urggh. Although I do like Bronze Goddess though.

Angel is disgusting, it's probably that.

OMG I can’t go up to these women & say your perfume is disgusting please tell me what it is so I can avoid it! Also they are all about 20 years younger than me & have Eyebrows. I was relying on all of you guys to know!

Oh, Dewberry. Those were the days...

Boyfriend and girlfriend on bus. She was eating smelly chicken crisps. He promptly sprayed whole bus with Lynx. Horrible.

Angel or flowerbomb

Grim

Would it be one of those Hawaiian Tropic body sprays? Had a sniff of them yesterday and the one which the SA said was the most popular, smelt Exactly as you have described! It has glitter in, do the eyebrowed ones have sparkly necks/wrists?

Go into a department store and see if you can sniff it out!

I love the Britney perfume

And Ariana grandes candy and moonlight

Eyebrows. (snort) Reminds me of the Angry Birds movie.
Can you pretend you like the perfume and ask the brand?

Ask her which one it is as it's very memorable...
Or just outright lie and say you love it.

Viktor & Rolph Flowerbomb I bet. It's awful, sickly sweet and everywhere. Same with the men's version.

I remember when Spicebomb first came out a few years ago, my now ex boyfriend turned up wearing it. That right then was a turning point. Well that and the vests and grey jogging bottoms he took to wearing ...

Not seriously expecting you to! Not in that way. You can ask what it is without being rude. Even I can manage that!! Just say you have smelt it on a few other women (don't say on loads of people or they may get upset it is so common (and foul!!). You can always pretend you are looking for smellies for your niece or whoever if they ask why you are asking - but why would they??

You have to lie and tell them it's gorgeous, so they tell you what it is and don't punch you on the nose for being rude

I could never understand why people wore Samsara - it smelled like vomit to me. Remember being stuck in a lift with some woman who had drowned herself in it. I guess we must just all smell things differently, hence the love/hate for Angel, which to me smells disgusting.

He promptly sprayed whole bus with Lynx. Horrible.

Ugh Lynx! That is terrible! Even my niece agrees and she has not taste (wears awful syrupy vanilla scent )

I've actually done this (the whole 'that's lovely,what is it') for precisely your reasons.

I can't remember which it was right now but It smelt like warm, stale cat pee.

Haha - luckily I don't wear perfume otherwise I'd be seriously paranoid if someone asked me what scent I was wearing after reading this thread!

I do miss perfume though. I only don't wear it because I don't like my baby smelling of it

You pretended you LIKE it and then you can ask what it is ... tactics OP, tactics!!
