Justme,

I wish I could take credit for that outlandish description, but I can't, lol.

I don't know what my problem is tonight. I am all over the boards, posting like a mad woman.

ED for Dahli -

Marc Jacobs captures gardenia at its most perfect moment. Fresh gardenias floating on water, enhanced by creamy musks. Lush. Wet. Intoxicating. Hypnotic and discreet at once.

ROTFL... this is better than Hallmark.

You know this is sooooo strange lol, I never mentioned this before (the gas thing) and I swear I thought I was the only one lol. I'll say again I never 'sniffed' gass or anything like that - ok - not into frying brain cells. But I just can't beleive that based on this thread it actually sounds common, not rare, to have liked the smell of gas - when I posted that I thought I was going to get some "your strange!" comments not "me too!" comments LOL. Guess I just assumed I was really strange since I'd never heard, till this thread, that soemone else liked the smell of gas LOL.

The smell of gas as an adult always reminded me of being a kid and liking the smell of gas (and always reminded me I was weird.. now I'm thinking hey I was normal LOL :)

Ok lets see if THIS one finds a few 'me too!'s" or "your wacked" lol... along the lines of gas I'd think I'm the only strange one but someone mentioned liking the smell of perms. Well I hate the smell of perms when your getting them... but I totally love the smell of a perm after you wash your hair a few days later.. there's this smell - for a few days after you wash your hair after a perm... know what I mean? I'm always smelling my hair then...really like that smell - absolutely no way to describe the smell though - which might be why I like it so much it's totally unique.

Half, have you ever bought perfume from that site? The prices seem really reasonable to me!! I don't buy from very many on-line sites. I'm fearful of giving out credit card info over the Internet. Can anyone allay my fears where that's concerned?

Heheheheeee! That would be hillarious!

Half, kind of figured the description wasn't yours by the "who writes this stuff" but your being able to find such the "Outlandish" one that you did cracked me up

Sia -

I've never purchased from this particular site, but have many many online purchases under my belt.

I personally keep one specific credit card with a $300 limit. That way I can buy things and not worry *too* much.

If you are uncomfortable, they have a toll free #. Give 'em a call!

Whit, Fluff, et al:

I love the smell of gas, but I actually prefer burning jet fuel, like what you smell at an airport.

Justme - I am so LMAO right now

Sia - I have purchased fragrance off the internet... not the site mentioned, but one called Fragrancnet.com and had no problems at all.
Thanks for the perfume link Halfunit, I'll be wandering around there most of the evening, the descriptions are too good to pass up!
ps I'm wondering if my banana brulee candle is only in Canada... let me know if you can't find it and I'll go get one for you!

Halfunit, that's what I've been meaning to do, get a new credit card with a very low limit, but haven't gotten around to it yet. (Do you have a round tuit? Everyone needs one!)

I love the scents of Salt City Candles. They are fabulous. I am EXTREMELY scent sensitive and have only had a few that I've had to throw away.

Perfumes...I used to wear Oscar but since becoming allergic and I DO mean ALLERGIC I haven't worn it in years.

TheKid is also scent sensitive. So badly, in fact, she has to ask (very politely) people she works with not to wear it at work. She's had asthma and can go into a full blown attack in seconds.

Reading about all these scents makes me want to ask all of you...How do you feel about someone asking you to not wear a fragrance? Are you offended or do you understand? It seems people don't mind telling you how much they hate your smoking, but will toss their cookies before asking you to refrain from using perfume.

kst - people who wear really strong perfume really bother me - I have to breath that air too - and as a smoker I've always been conciderate to others right to breath the air, and yet I can't say how many times people with too much perfume make me feel like gagging.

I could not believe Rosie, she was saying she used 18 squirts of her perfume and asking if anyone thought it was too strong.. who's going to tell her that? She's the hostess of the show!

I personally think people should put their perfume on really light and refresh it when needed rather then putting it on so heavy it gags other people.

I can't believe how many gas sniffers we have around here.

Does anybody else like the smell of magic markers? Or am I the only one.

I no longer wear cologne. I just dust with baby powder. I became very sensitive to smells after I got my tanning salon. I have 7 beds. And during the busy season when they are all running and everyone is using a different tanning lotion, my sinus's goes nuts. I have to step outside quite often to get fresh air. Some of the lotions are worse than others. Many have become "discontinued products" just because the smell irritates me.

Kstme, I copied as much info about perfume as I could off of the internet, and issued a memo at work with this info attatched to it. The memo basically says that most people in our office are on some kind of long term maintenance meds for allergies, and we have three people with asthma in our office....and perfume is forbidden. I've had people that were not too happy about it, but when everyone else complained to them, they stopped wearing it. Everyone has found that being in an environment without perfume, has made them more sensitive to it. Someone can walk through to interview with perfume on and the girls go off. It's one of the first issues discussed with new hires now.

As for wearing it really light Whit, the problem is that people that wear it every single day don't smell it the way others do. Their idea of really light and others is not the same.

Whit, Kady and Sab...thanks for the input. Sab, I think more and more offices are taking a stand on scents and I think that's terrific!

One of the worst places I've found for "scent abuse" is Wal-Mart!LOL The employees! We have an "outdoor" checkout in the garden center area and I try to use that as often as possible.

I worked in human resources (still personnel dept. to me) for a long time. Occasionally, the issue of someone not bathing or someone using too much scent came to my desk and I had to resolve the problem with tact. It wasn't always easy!!! People are more protective of their cologne/perfume than of their checkbook!!

Again, it brings up the issue of "rights" and not everyone will be happy with every decision, but I do commend those businesses who go out on a limb and limit or negate the use of scents at the office.

Did I mention I love the smell of my puppies!

"Does anybody else like the smell of magic markers? Or am I the only one. "


Your the only one, I'm sure :)

LOL Just kidding - I like that smell too, and after all the gas posts.. I'm thinking we are not alone LOL.

All it takes is one to admit it and the rest come crawling out of the wordwork.:)

Whit, I admit when I read you liked the smell of gas, I thought...yep, she nuts. It has amazed me how many others now admit to it. I will be doing me some gas sniffing the next time I fill up. Hmmm, I may like it. :)

The Healing garden also has a scent for your linen. ZZZZtherapy. I bought some for my hubbys stocking a couple years ago. I spray it on the sheets and pillow cases all the time. Hubby will remind me if he can not smell it. Now its like our warm milk when going to bed. mmmmmmmm

oh yeah, I meant to say, as a young un, I worked at a gas station for ever. I always loved the smell of gas. Now I am not sure if I have smelled too much or have paid too much, but cant stand the smell now!!

Sabbatia, I remember when I wore some of this fragance from Bath and Body Works (forgot the name) and my supervisor told me that someone complained about my perfume. I didn't realize that it was strong but apparently, the other person did. I pretty much new who complained about it, and though there was nothing that I could do about it, in the future, I just slacked up. I didn't use as much perfume as previously, and actually, I just got rid of that perfume altogether. It was too strong and I didn't realize that until after the incident. But at the same time, I had just gotten complimented on the scent about an 1 hour before that. Weird stuff.

You know what I miss??? Heaven Scent. They used to sell it at CVS. It was the best scent around! *sighs*

Heaven Scent... now that's an oldie but a goodie - I remember liking it a lot. I just checked at fragrancenet.com and they list one under H called Heaven Sent. If you want to take a look when you have time and see if that's it, I can't remember the bottle, so I'm not sure.

Fluff

Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 07:09 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Ooooooohhhh!

Actually, I think there are two Heaven Scents on the web at different sites. I should order both!

OMG Heaven Sent,t hat is an oldie. I loved that.

So -- nobody else likes the smell of stinky cigars? I guess I am weird.

Ginger, I like the smell of pipes but not that crazy about cigars. (check your folder,btw)

Heaven Sent, yes! I remember that!

Kady, I love the smell of magic markers! I use them to price stuff when I have a yardsale and they mean $$$ to me, lol!

Whit, I don't have perms, but I feel that way when I color my hair. I love the smell of it after.

I am always concious of my fragrance offending anyone. I lean toward light ones, but still. One time we were at the movies, and a couple came in and sat right next to us. The woman had on too much. It wasn't a bad scent, just too much of it. It blocked our concentration. After that, I would make a point of not putting any on at all if I was going to the movies. Same if I am going to the dentist or the doctors or anywhere that someones consentration might be effected.

Btw, has anyone ever been in a store (or any place really) and smelled a fragrance on a woman and just loved it, and wanted to ask them what it is? This has happened to me and I've always felt a little weird going up to another woman and telling her she smells good, lol! (so I never did)

Web...YES! I've done it TWICE!LOL

The first time, it was Oscar. A woman passed me and I couldn't believe how much I liked the scent. When I turned she was standing at a counter in the old Fredrick & Nelson's Dept. store in Seattle. I walked over and asked her...I wore it for almost 20 years. She was very nice and flattered.

The second time, I asked someone while I was in an elevator on my way to an interview. The smell was absolutely divine. She was wearing Shalimar. In a strange set of circumstances, she became one of my best friends and thekid's godmother!! LOL...you just NEVER know!

I still love these two scents so much but have to be a block away so I won't start sneezing!

Ditto on the babies! I also love the smell of fresh coffee, baking bread and microwave popcorn.
