STINKY PERFUME

Does anyone else hate the smell of ladies perfume?

There are very few brands that I can tolerate.  I love men's cologne and occasionally wear that if anything at all.  I get more compliments than ever and asked what I'm wearing.

I can get a headache that won't leave me from some perfume smells.  

Have you ever smelled a really old bottle of Avon perfume?  Well, that's what most ladies perfumes smell like to me, regardless of brand or cost.

Unisex brands don't bother me, but since about 20 years ago, I cannot be in the same room, car or anyplace closed up w/a woman if she's wearing perfume, or over-sprayed.

I read once that a doctor's biggest pet peeve is when people have been too sick to quickly shower, so bathe themseves in perfume in order to camouflage any body odor that probably isn't there in the first place.  It actually said the some doctors leave the room asap in order not to get a headache from the strong smells.  It read that doctors can prescribe meds w/o much of an interview just to be rid of this person, or to lack concentration of the patients chief complaint

I drove my little sister 5 blocks back to her apartment just now.  She had just sprayed herself, and I almost refused a ride for her, but definitely had to get her away from my house so drove w/my head out of the window....really.  I was lining up stories of how to explain if a cop saw me.

My aunt has this same problem.  

How common is this?  Do tell if you have this problem also.  Just wondering how many people feel the same.

I'm going to confess.  I did try to make perfume out of my Gain laundry soap.  I put it with some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Didn't work so great.  Sprayed my hair with a little and it got crunchy. LMAO

Jene Nat'e (SP) from Avon user to bath in the stuff now I can not handle the smell of perfume.. My niece comes over it is like walking into a perfume factory.. When she lived with me I had a nightmare that I was locked in a basement with her and there was only one tiny window way high I could not reach and all I could smell was her perfume.. Woke up sick to my stomach with a big headache.. Now when a old lady gets on the elevator with me I have flashbacks of that dream.. Perfume yuck...
