Is that aftershave you are wearing or are you just trying to asphyxiate me?






This is what it does for many women. Try a toner from the bodyshop, or aloe gel, very soothing and anti inflamatory... And I recommend shaving cream from Crabtree & Evelyn.


Perfumes can be as bad. What is wrong with smelling clean? Or a natural plant smell from essential oil? Cheaper, and they don't make your eyes stream and nose run.

I agree.
I just can't see how the manufacturers can justify the prices they charge, litre for litre it must be the most expensive liquid ever.

My Father once asked me what I would like for my birthday. I said cologne. he asked what type, and I told him 'Cool Water' by Davidoff.
Some weeks later the elderly pater walked into Boots the chemist and asked if they sold any bottles of 'Cold Water.' The assistant said that they indeed dis, and took the old fellow across the store to some chiller cabinets; stopping to ask if he wanted a 35ml bottle or a litre.
The old fellow ever generous said that he would have the litre, but exclaimed that he thought it might last me a lifetime.

Ratty, and most of them smell like cat's wee after half an hour. Rank

You can't go before your father, not fading away....what would it do to him? I love your dad.

Fading fast away - you made me laugh.

I bought a large consignment of Brut 33 when I heard that they were going to stop manufacturing it. I just love to 'splash it all over'. (must check how old you are, L - you may not remember B33).

What do you think of Lynx - does it have an erogenous olfactory effect upon you ?

Lilith said...

Choking on Lynx is what inspired this post EK...

Brut....Splash it all over...yes EK, I remember Henry.

Giles said...

the worst bit of the linx effect would be those unfortunate adverts trying to convince guys that spraying more will make girls want them more, no it just kills them.

boy's changing rooms at school are probably a toxic danger room after sports...

Kilod said...

but Giles, have you not seen hordes of half naked girls in hot pursuit of all those lynxy boys?
i think personally i might actually prefer to be slapped with a wet fish by my suitor to get him to like me, being a penguin can't be all that bad in their lynx free lives.

Giles said...

i have often seen girls running away from them to find oust to free themselves from the smell. does that count?

i want to be a penguin, it would be fun, but a bit cold... i like fish

I `m horrified Lillith I am just going through a brief post present stage of dashing a mildly lemony zest behind the ears and now you say its a bad thing.
I agree with you on hygiene though. I cannot abide smelly people and in women it is the end . Is there no fragrance which attracts you like a bisto kid ...the smell of open wallet is said to be potent

Bulgari's Green Tea range does it for me.
