minor perfume rant

Cloud · 02-01-2008, 08:07 PM

I like perfume. I wear it for myself and enjoy it. But I like so few! And the ones I like tend to get discontinued after a while!

With most perfumes I try, I either go ick right away, or go yum, then ick when it gets down to the lower notes. And it's so expensive, you really can't buy it without trying it on, and stores have become very stingy about samples.

I did find a cheap perfume recently I like, and I never like cheap perfumes, so that makes me happy.

In fact, I think I'll spray some on now!

you guys stink!

I, on the other hand, smell as sweet as pie. Just obviously not humble pie!

I think you're using the perfume to disguise the aroma of whatever you've been smoking....

no yum? no ick? aw . . .

that wasn't much of a rant, cloud.

i don't wear perfume. i hate it when men wear too much. i always cal them on it and make fun of them.

i used to wear a little patchouli.....but now i don't even own anything.

I only put it on heavily when I'm at home, 'cause too much at work or something can be offensive.

smelly stuff, yay!

'course, soap and water enhances one's natural odor, so you can always go with that.

Most perfume is nasty. If you put it on right before you get out of your car, every person who walks behind you on the way into work has to smell your crap. Use it reasonably. Don't spray it and get on the elevator right after that. People who use to much perfume piss me off. I want to be able to smell it when I put my face between your breasts, not 20 feet behind you.

The nicest fragrance ever is Narciso Rodriguez. It's the one I use most. Another one that I like is Yvress (used to be called champagne) but it makes Dazza sneeze, so I don't wear it much these days. I recently bought a bottle of Mediterainean by Elizabeth Arden. It's nice, but mostly just for day wear.

It's important to wear a perfume that suits you or it just stinks to everyone around you. One that I can't stand no matter who's wearing it is Dune. It's just an overpowering stinky smell and it gives me a headache.

9 out of 10 I smell just smell nasty to me, too. I'd buy more, expensive though it is, if I could find more I like. My fave is Gucci Rush--discontinued. I like Fresh Sugar--discontinued. (sigh)

Look on E-bay.

don't buy perfume off ebay! EVER!!! It's fake.

Cloud · 02-03-2008, 10:50 PM

some might be, but not all of it. You just have to be careful. In fact, I did buy some Fresh Sugar from Ebay--and it is authentic.

Aliantha · 02-03-2008, 10:52 PM

I only ever bought two bottles from ebay. One was chanel No. 5 and the other was Yveress. Both were not authentic.

No wonder they were cheap. I was very upset.

Cloud · 02-03-2008, 11:20 PM

make no mistake, it's caveat emptor on ebay. sorry you got burned, Ali.
