Perfumes

[Doc Creed]

Ladies...never, ever, wear Vanilla Fields. Ick...that smell makes me sick. Smells just like that ear medicine ya use on dogs.

And nothing from the Avon Lady. Heh heh...is that even a thing anymore? All that Avon junk smelled like old grannies. Heh heh, I remember our regular Avon Lady, drove her pink Cadillac by the house every coupla months or so. Dad used to say she was a gypsy who likes stealing kids, so I should hide whenever she came around. My grandma called her 'the Ding Dong Lady'.

The Ding Dong Man? Schwann Man, baby! Big yellow refrigerated truck fulla Ice Creams and Corn Dogs! Loved, loved LOVED the Ding Dong Man.

Ahem...sorry, I digressed. Carry on with the perfume talk, my pretties...

So true, Muskie, lol. My mother sold Avon and all of the men's cologne and women's cologne smelled the same: rubbing alcohol.

I wore the oils from a head shop. Remember those?

This one was cotton candy smell. I played field hockey in junior high.
I was a bee magnet. I'm sure I danced well out there in the field.

Oh, now yer talking, Notts. Head Shop oils were always my fave. Especially that Patchouli Oil...mmmmm...smells like sexy hippy chicks.

I usually wear Hugo Boss or Burberry. I remember in high school I wore Drakkar. The ladies seemed to like it.

Same here. Drakkar always seemed a good choice in high school...the collar of my old jean jacket from that era still smells like Drakkar.

Oh man, I was just getting ready to say patchouli oil stinks.

My ex roommate dove in in a pool of AXE everyday. It was terrible.

Yep, my buddies had the same idea, too. It was like catnip or something, lol, the girls loved it. Now all I can think about when I think about it is Game of Thrones. The fire breathing dragon.

I will say it once again:

Oh dear

No offense, Neesy. I'm sure things have changed. My mother was very frugal so maybe price played a big part in quality.

Yeah, that's the deal. If they would keep it subtle, it wouldn't be bad. But, when they swim in it....bleccch.

Hmmm - sounds suspiciously like a Mary Kay cosmetics lady

No offense taken Doc!

Yeah, they were the ones with the pink cadillacs.

 

[Neesy]

I actually like Acqua di Gio (pour homme) "for him"

it is supposed to be for men but I like the way it smells on me

 

[muskrat]

Maybe got em mixed up. But they're essentially the same thing. Old lady toiletries and trinkets. Nothing at all wrong with em...just scared me when I was a kid.

LMAO. They named a dragon after it? Outstanding.

 

[not_nadine]

I am really surprised that I don't have avon ladies at work. Guilt you into buying things. Pollyanna is gearing up. Got handed a slip of paper.


They don't smell much of anything. I sniff em.

My hippie girlfriend in the early 90's loved Sandalwood and Patchouli. She always smelled of that and whatever fragrance she used to crush my soul...lol
