blasting yourself in perfume

blacklilly

So im on the luas and there's a woman beside me who smells like a bottle of perfume fell on her.
Unfortunately I suffer badly with hayfever and I'm allergic to a lot of perfumes however regardless of this I don't think anyone needs that much perfume unless of course they haven't showered in a while. So I'm sneezing like a dust mite who's allergic to dust and my mascara is running down my face. Not a good look

Aha, the weekly "Woman wearing too much mascara complains about woman wearing too much perfume" thread.

MagicMarker

Nothing better than a smelly woman.

blacklilly

Hmmm well my mascara isnt going to make anyone sneeze

Tombi!

Why didn't you just say "excuse me but *sneeze* I think that you should *sneeze* know you have to much perfume *sneeze* on you"?
You sneeze on her, she gets the message.

WhimSock

She's covering up the stench of her rancid gash. Probably.

Nice smelly girl v. Sneezy girl with stuff in her face?

Sorry, she wins ( unless she is Ray Darcy )

Everything is a competition.

We compete for air, for jobs, for love, for money, and for space on the Luas.

good job your stop wasn't coming up soon then, if you weren't able to move. :D

Beats people who smell like a bottle of fart just fell on them.

This is a pet hate of mine as well. There are few things grosser than being stuck in a confined space with someone who has drowned themselves in perfume. I used to go to bootcamp (not in a confined space, admittedly) with a woman who was like the perfume counter in Woolworth's, you'd be there running behind her gasping for breath and getting a mouthful of disgusting, eye watering fumes. I would actually prefer the smell of farts, they tend not to hang around as long.

Some people have no sense of smell, unfortunately. Or mistakenly think they smell delicious. You should be able to get ASBOs against them, for olfactory assault. Seriously. This in no way would be a waste of public monies.

If thats the case, its a shower they need and not perfume.

I feel your pain, I hate this too. Its usually the really sweet sickly perfumes that they go overboard on too.

I once sat next to a lady on the luas who reeked of toilet duck, true story.

AnonoBoy

Eeeewwwwww public transport!

say_who_now?

There are some perfumes that can smell incredible and I wouldn't care if the girl was bathed in it, but then there are some that are so pungent that like the OP they make my eyes water!

They have to be fairly strong anyway because being a smoker I have practically no sense of smell, so I can only imagine what it must be like for a non-smoker!

Why is it that people who drown themselves in perfume always wear the sickliest, sweetest, cheapest smelling perfume they can find. It turns my stomach.

blacklilly

I wear perfume daily but I don't drown myself in it. I remember being on a bus once and the lady sitting in front of me kept spraying perfume. I could barely breath and had to ask her to stop, she didn't take well to this but thankfully a number of other people backed me up

Burberry "Weekend" for women always does it for me, mmmhmm! But now I think of it, one of my female friends wears Tom Ford "Black Orchid" for men, its weird, but it actually works on her! :pac:

Can't think of others right now off the top of my head but I do remember being in Brown Thomas once and trying out one or two on recommendation of a friend, the girl handed me the card and the smell of this one particular perfume was so pungent almost like sniffing white spirit that my nose still wasn't right an hour later! :pac:

purfume I can stand - but bad breath - omg I have smelled some people with the worst bad breath when I am in queues - its seriously gag worthy - do they not realize that their breath stinks. its the worst smell ever.

at least the person spraying the perfume is more thank likely clean, and has brushed their teeth.

It's even worse when you can identify the perfume and it's generally awful. An ex co-worker of mine wore YSL Rive Gauche (?) resulting in empty reaches from me within eight feet of her :eek:

Colmustard

To much is not nice also the rich perfumes that linger when someone leaves. The nice ones are the hint of a tint of a smell that you get when someone is close.

I never wear them my musk is enough to rattle any ovaries.

Could be worse. It could always be worse. It will probably get worse.
