Some perfume I absolutely can't stand, especially if it has a strong astringent quality. Others, I absolutely love the smell of! I can always tell when there's an over abundance of cheap filler.

That is one of the reasons I dislike perfumes. Oddly enough I enjoy the smell of strongly perfumed flowers such as roses and lilac but I'm only exposed to those smells briefly while sniffing them. Being in the presence of a person wearing a strong perfume for any length of time makes my head ache. Some perfumes just make me gasp for breath; possibly an allergic reaction to the chemicals in them or something.

They give me headaches. :-( I even have to buy the most mildly scented soaps, shampoos, deodorants, etc., unscented if at all possible.

Organza by Givenchy
Chanel No. 5
Flowers by Kenzo
CKOne for cheap unisexness

I keep getting Ange ou Demon for Xmas/birthdays. Smells too much like talc. Still prefer Organza.

I hate perfume.

It smells bad, like other strong-smelling chemicals. It burns to breathe around it, it gives me a horrible headache, and it stays around for a long time after the person who has it on leaves.

The most expensive ones seem to have stronger smells and be really oily, so I can feel them on my skin when someone around me is wearing them.

I don't understand why anyone would want to wear perfume.

I don't really wear smelly stuff. I'd prefer it if others didn't, either.
