Perfumes tend to give me hives, so I avoid them in all products if possible.

Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Bvlgari- White Tea is at this moment,
The penthouse at THEHotel Mandalay Bay is stocked with White Tea lotion, soap, body gel, etc. V. nice.
I can't wear any perfumes, more's the pity. The White Tea lotion is okay in small doses. Any Calvin Klein or Estee Lauder or Lancome scent is right out - allergy attack is imminent when I smell those.
Jean-Paul Gaultier's For Men, though, I think I could wear.
My biggest problem is that so many people over-apply. Scent should be applied so that you can smell it when you're right up close to that person, not 5 bloody feet away.
I wore Santa Fe, which is a men's cologne
Oh dear, that's my toe-curly one. I've been known to sniff the boxes in stores and get turned on.
There's a lady in my office that you can smell that she had walked by, for minutes afterwards.
Fried Mac & Cheese looks especially disgusting.
Allyson is me with the Drakkar and the CKOne. NOT the fried mac and cheese, which is YUM.
I actually got in the elevator the other day after someone who was wearing way too much CKOne, and had a total flashback.
I have a female friend who was obsessed with the Gaultier for Men. I can't remember if she actually wore it, or just sprayed it on her scarf, though.
Oh, yes. My unrequited love from 7th & 8th grades (I was nothing if not persistent.) wore Polo. Ah sweet halcyon days of romantic idealism.
In those days I wore Poison, too. And later, Fendi. And a lot of makeup, including a lovely shiny purple eyeshadow applied in crayon form. It's no wonder it was unrequited, in retrospect.
About a year later, I got over all of it and never wore makeup again, except for "functions" and the like.
That KFC thing looks like it would be both disgusting and delicious. And I don't even want to contemplate how bad it is for you.
Also, now I want something salty and possibly also sweet for dinner, and I have "London Bridge" back in my head.
Thanks a lot, people.
I wear either Origins Ginger Essence [link] or Vera Wang [link] The Vera Wang I got when I went to see Ellen Degeneres and it's more girly than I usually wear, but it doesn't trigger a migraine, I get lots of compliments on it and it was free.
I like a subtle perfume to spray on right before I sail out the door. It makes me feel grown up and sophisticated.
