Parfum!
 

I was just dressing up for my best friend birthday and I was wondering which parfum or eau toilette to wear so the question pop up in head.

What parfum or eau de toilette are you wearing, if any?
Right now I usually wear Chance from Chanel.

I HATE perfume and I hate being around people who wear it. My goal in life is to have perfume banned as air pollution. Mwhahahahaha. :evil:

I feel the same way. :twisted:

Although I always did like Elizabeth Ashley. :? I try not to make other people suffer with the smell though. :D

I prefer the fruit scented body creams, for the summer at least.

Do you hate eau de toilette as well? From what I know about it ( that's not a lot) but eau de toilette is like watery perfume...the smell is really less strong then perfume and the smell faded away quite quickly.

Yes..oh wait..you meant Becky. Well, I really don't care much for any kind of perfume. Only because some people seem to bathe in it, and it is overkill. :cry:

Let me clarify. I hate chemical based fragrances. That includes perfume, cologone, eau de toilette, body spray, body splash, scented lotion, and air fresheners (oil based, plug ins, sprays, gels, mists). Because so many people are too rude and stupid to realize that when they put on as much fragrance as they do they endanger people around them, I think it should be treated as air pollution the same way that cigarettes are. Both fragrances and cigarettes are chemical based allergens that contain toxins and carcinogens. I adamently believe that the increase in the use of fragranced products is contributing to the ever growing number of people who suffer from allergies and asthma. If anyone wants to take time to do a little research they will learn that the ingredients used in perfumes are dangerous.

If people were considerate enough to wear just a LITTLE fragrance it would be different, but there are way too many people in the world who bathe in their fragrances and can be smelled several feet away and for several minutes after they leave a room. Those people are the equivalent of people who smoke cigarettes in public. Fragrance activates allergies and asthma and, if a person is going out in public, they should be aware of that and considerate of that. But that's not the way it goes. Research shows that perfumes are also related to behavioral disorders. So, since my father can't light up a cigarette in a public building, why should someone else be able to leave their trail of toxins? It's hypocritical to ban one and not the other.

I think fragrances should also be labeled with a warning like: may cause coughing, sneezing, wheezing, watery itchy eyes, headaches, nausea, asthmatic episodes and increase problems associated with behavioral disorders.

By the way, the banning of fragrances in public is not a pipe dream. There are organizations working on it. Some restaurants are already providing "fragrance free" sections along with "smoke free" sections. Some public buildings have been declared "Fragrance Free Zones" due to complaints by employees or students. It may take a long time, but I think it will happen. People used to be able to light up their cigarettes in public.

I particulary agree with that. Even if I like perfume, it really bother me when I can smell someone. My mother always told me that if you can smell your own perfume, then the whole world would be able to smell it too...so the key to not annoy every person that sit next to you in the metro or restaurant, is too wear as less as possible! (my mom is the best! :wink: she's always right! I love her! )

As for allergy and asthma, I have no trouble believing you that perfume can cause reaction like that. After all, some people are badly allergic to the odour of kiwis, so why not perfume!

yeah

lets all stink!!!!!!

If you BATHE regularly you shouldn't need fragrance. Fragrance was created to mask the stench of body odor when people didn't have access to soap and running water. You do bathe, don't you, Goose?
