Thread inspired by Kate Moss's vile offering.

Dunno but dd's Clire's Accessories one is quite alright

I rashly squirted myself with Eau de Eden in Boots at the weekend, and felt sick for the rest of the day.

oliviaelanasmum · 10/01/2008 09:26

I was then going to add Kate Moss eau de croydon bedsit but see that i have been beaten to it

paul smith

O'smum - the more votes for that sickly odour the better.

my dd's armani code is nauseating

thank god she's wearing something else now

Jackstini · 10/01/2008 09:38

Poison - still the worst one I have ever smelt after 20 odd years

BettySpaghetti · 10/01/2008 09:40

Ha! When I saw the title in active convos I was going to say Kate Moss but you've beaten me to it.

I tried a squirt somewhere recently. When I got DP to sniff me he said it smelled like cats piss.

mynameis · 10/01/2008 09:40

Alien by Thierry Mugler is headache/vomit inducing.

Stupid name as well

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 10/01/2008 09:42

Another vote for Poison - vile, vile, vile.

Oh, and Opium and Dune. They all make my temples pulse as soon as I catch a whiff.

BettySpaghetti · 10/01/2008 09:47

Is Poison still polluting the air in this day and age?

I worked in a very busy bar in the late 80s/early 90s when I was a student and there were a couple of regulars who wore it -you could smell them as soon as they walked in despite the heavy smokey atmosphere and hoards of people.

SomeLikeItHot · 10/01/2008 13:24

yep another vote for Kate Moss from me... urghhh its vile!

Is LouLou still doing the rounds as that stuff is VILE - makes me want to vomit when I smell it.
Also BE Delicious - or maybe it's just when my mum tips an entire bottle on her (seemingly).

LoveAngel · 10/01/2008 18:46

I used to wear Poison as a teenager. God, it makes me want to barf now. I can't stand Angel. So sickly. And any of those androgynous scents like CK One. Puke.

nanninurse · 10/01/2008 18:54

A Next one , My friend wears it and I thought it was the dog odour! I could smell it everywhere & more so in the car so just presumed it was the dog, then she sprayed it one day as we were leaving the house, I nearly choked, its vile!!

She was non too pleased at my reaction..

I think its called pink??

LadyOfTheCauliFlowers · 10/01/2008 18:54

Not recently, but my VBF used to wear Kenzo Flowers and it made me hurl...

yama · 10/01/2008 18:57

Does anyone remember Samsara? Stomach-churning.

I also agree with Poison but as a lass I did like a bit of LouLou (yes I'm suitably embarrassed).

VanillaPumpkin · 10/01/2008 18:58

I loathe CKOne. Obsession gives me the worst headache. Yuk.

Hulababy · 10/01/2008 19:00

I find that perfumes really do change a lot depending on who is wearing them. I find that strong perfumes really don't suit me and smell odd, whereas more subtle scents seem to be better for me - yet, don't smell the same or quite right on my friend.

However, DD's barbie perfume I don't think would smell right on anyone, ever! It is so sickly sweet, lol.

ZippiBabes · 10/01/2008 19:01

i think be delicious is nice

rantinghousewife · 10/01/2008 19:02

Opium, and Chanel No. 5 (just don't get the fuss over either of them.) Have never knowingly inhaled a sleb perfume but if I had, I would probably vote for any of them.

Exclamation, make a statement, without saying a word

ZippiBabes · 10/01/2008 19:04
