these things happen. If you pay cheap you get cheap I guess. I think I'll stick to buying from reputable retailers for important stuff like perfume in future.

Strawberrynet great for perfumes and cosmetics.

Funny - If you go to the "Other Countries" Tab on the left it lists Alaska, USA as a country.

Probably because shipping-wise, it is.

Great site thanks Ducks!

I know that "momster" - I just thought it was humorous that they listed it as another country -

I agree that most women who wear too much perfume are trying too hard. Personally, I was always taught to spritz behind myknees, because it's not so overwhelming (and the scent floats upward anyway).

I must make one exception to this rule. I find little old ladies who wear too much perfume and bad lipstick absolutely adorable. Especially if it's a Lily of the Valley or Lilac scent.

This thread would have been way better had it been Scratch and Sniff.

I just like body sprays, like Bath and Body Works stuff, cucumber melon or night blooming jasmine. Yummmm.

I agree. I don't want to smell anyone unless I choose to smell them. If I choose to get in their personal space (within 1-2 feet) then it's OK if I get a slight whiff of perfume. Otherwise, I don't want to smell it.

I like bay rum. Royall's gotten frightfully expensive, but there are others.

lookout123 · 02-08-2008, 02:36 PM

i wear stink pretties pretty much every day. why? cuz i want to. this year's rotation is Armani Code and Kenneth Cole Black. Both are really mellow and you'd have to be standing pretty damn close to me to know I'm wearing anything.

I like when women wear really soft scents too.

HungLikeJesus · 02-08-2008, 03:52 PM

I rub a little bacon grease on the back of my neck and under each arm; it seems to work.

Cloud · 02-08-2008, 07:32 PM

"stink pretties" hah! I like that. And Shawnee, I can't like bathandbodyworks cheapo body sprays--because after the top note wears off, they all have the same base (which smells notsonice).

Interesting to me the way we all have different sensitivities and dislikes.

I certainly agree that too much scent in public is a nuisance. The way I really like to wear my perfume is to load it on when I'm alone at home (which is most of the time I'm not working); wear it to bed, etc. That way I can really enjoy it as a complete scent-ual experience and not worry about bugging other people with it.

Urbane Guerrilla · 02-09-2008, 09:23 PM

That's not why you picked "Cloud" as a handle. Is it? (gulp!)
