Perfumes/Aftershaves
Some females can't leave home without jewellery, I can't leave without some perfume.I am pretty hard and fast in what I like, mainly Dior or Lancome. Someone tonight mentioned Boucheron, now I'm curious, and need to go search it out.
What do you like for either men or women?

My favourite is a copy perfume - Clinique Aromatics, cost around £4! A few times people in shops have commented on it in passing saying how nice I smell and can't believe it's a copy!I was in a store one day and the manager shouted, "who's wearing Aromatics" she couldn't believe it when I told her it wasn't the original

Re: Perfumes/Aftershaves
I can not cope with some of the perfumes/sprays, be it male or female.I think it's something in the synthetic ones ... they do something horrible to the back of my throat (I won't go into detail)
One of the 'popular' sprays young men seem fixated on, is horribly strong .... yuk yuk yuk ... makes me feel bad.
Similarly, some of the strong pongs young women wear are fairly unpleasant
I well remember Estée Lauder's Youth Dew ... oh boy that really made me want to throw up.
In my youth I liked 'Lily of the Valley' but one time I was bought a different make and it 'did' my throat every time I used it.
'Youth Dew' was similar to 'Brute' .... bleughhhhh ! and I tend to associate both with garlic breath
I guess I go for subtle, clean and understated ... like my men

I confess to having YD...back in my youth, but agree it is (or was) overpowering, yes like Brut too. Yuk yuk yuk.Where I used to work, the secretary liked Anais Anais, and would buy us few woman a set for Christmas. Very pleasant.
However, I can no longer tolerate any perfume smells, since having two nose ops years ago. Everything now smells ghastly to me.

Re: Perfumes/Aftershaves
Why are women such lost causes when it comes to using perfume ?Questions I would ask is what do they smell like, more what do they think they smell like.
Why do they think they need the stuff?
What do they think the stuff does for them?
Do their friends really tell them the truth about how they smell/
Do most men hate it rather than love it on a woman?
Do people in crowded places look around to see who is ponging the place out, yes I know they do.
No not saying I never like it, just saying a female may pass and her perfume smells divine . However such females are rare, perhaps one in a couple of years and when looking, that female reeks of pure class top to toe.
So sorry "Slap it On" English ladies , unlike Italian ladies class gets lost with ass , then perhaps as we know, what suits one skin does not suit another.
