[Closed] Perfume. What is it for???

Because most Women smell, so they need to cover it up so men don't throw up in there [url=

I think some women use it to mask the fact they haven't washed their clunge.

I like the smell of woman.
Not chemicals.

(and can't view youtube at work)

Edit: it would have been far better if Mister P's message hadn't snuck in there 😯

That kind of comment can go one of two ways!

There is a difference between women you use a subtle squirt of decent perfume to the ones who bathe in the cheap stuff that you buy by the litre.

The women you work with sound like the fat slags from viz if their perfumes gives you a headache. 😆 You might be in there 😉

Women wear make up and perfume for simple reasons

It's because they are ugly and smell.

When I smell a certain perfume on my wife - it makes me want to lay down with her.

It's this one btw

the sexiest smell ever...

Agree with you there Dez. Can't stand using cloakrooms that reek of women's "perfume". Makes me gag, it's offensive and too in my face/nose.

I used to work for a perfume manufacturer and the profits they were making were obscene - that was before they sold it to the perfumery companies for diluting.

Prefer men not to use aftershave either, just love the smell of "freshly showered" 🙂

[i]Perfume. What is it for[/i]

Making a lot of dosh for people who can flog scented alcohol wrapped in expensive packaging by way of flash advertising.

Edit: should have mentioned that I have a particularly keen sense of smell.

Phew! Glad I'm not the only one. I always thought I was odd in that department! 😉

Some perfumes are nice. I dont think they have a "point", much like clothes - we could comfortably wear sleepingbags most of the time but people choose clothes to their taste, likewise people choose smells to their taste.

Nothing worse than a really strong smelling cheap perfume though.

I personally almost never wear any aftershave, maybe a hint of anti-perspirant, I seem to be blessed with the ability to not stink after 24 hours (not just delusional and smelly!).

Er, I doubt that... I doubt that very, very much.

All perfumes give me a headache, not just cheap ones. I have to use "Simple" deodorant otherwise I can smell my pits all day.

If nobody used deodorant or perfume then it wouldn't matter.

Presumably people in the olden days didn't use such things (and they didn't have many baths) and didn't notice the smell as it was fairly constant?

the lovely woman formerly known as Mme BBSB insisted on l'heure bleue from guerlain as her christmas pressie.
she was gorgeous and the smell was just incredible.

surely subjective? 😕

If women are 'made of sugar and spice and all things nice' why do they smell of anchovies?

🙁 I'd worry more about the women you date! You need to get them to the doctors, rapidly!

to cover up their beer and curry farts

Hi Dezb,

We had the same problem. One who used to sit on the other side of our open plan office till recently would stink the place out. Enough to make my eyes water. I was on the point of approaching our secretary to discuss what would be a tactful approach to the problem, but thankfully she moved out to inflict her contamination on another office.

Along with air freshners it's one the of the key "don't do's" which would come up in any review of Sick Building Syndrome. Lots of the fragrance chemicals used by perfume manufacturers aren't covered by any sort of laws. We recently had this at our place where the cleaners installed nauseating air spray freshners. Interestingly the health and safety info for these says quite bluntly "don't breathe spray", along with descriptions of the safety handling requirements (mask, goggles and impervious gloves). 30mg by inhalation (about 1 drop) also has a 4 hour LD 50 on a rat.

Chemical fragrances have many compounds in common with spray air freshners.

And it's not always the women. Air freshners can be sabotaged, but not so easy with a person.

Tell her you are asthmatic, she's cauzing you problems. That should put a stop to it.

[i]surely subjective?[/i]

I don't think so - there's a reason why women smell like they do...

Mountaincarrot - they're all getting made redundant in the new year, so its not worth upsetting them even more 😉

that smell = a phsyiological trigger that no other smell gives [i]me[/i]

so in [i]my[/i] case, I am right. How can I not be?

Anyway. Merry Christmas.

Same to you old chap. Hope you get the Old Spice giftset again. 😉

Holding out for Hai Karate this year 😀

Historically, perfume would have been used to cover up the fact that you were unwashed and/or diseased. Make of that what you will 😉
