Was there Dead Rodent scent as well?

Dead Rodent and Rotten Potato were exclusive fragrances for Montgomery-Ward.

I refer to it as stinkum.

I refer to it as flowery hell

I like perfumes in small quantities. I want to be able to smell it, but only if I'm trying, and I don't want more than a mild scent wafting out where people say, "something smells nice," but can't really tell where it's coming from and can only smell it if they're close to me.

When one of my neighbours went on vacation, he had his nephew house sit. He had a girlfriend who would come over, and I could smell her from well over 100' away. Outside.

My grandmother liked the perfume "White Shoulders." It's the only one I have. I like just a wafting scent, like walking by a lilac bush.

I'm allergic to most perfumes and it makes me gag when one of them opens their car door 50' away.

One big problem is that they don't understand that their nose goes scent blind to that scent once it has been on for a short period of time and they keep adding more and more so they can smell it.

I almost have to hold my breath when walking by my lilac bushes when they are in full bloom.

When my grandson (not the one living with me) hit puberty, he discovered Axe and, presumably, girls. I was living with them at the time (long ago, far away). Gag! I told him he should wear just a tiny drop so girls would go, What smells so good? And come closer to him ... not, Dang, what stinks, give me air and run out the door seeking oxygen.
... he didn't listen of course. I said he should call it chainsaw bc it was about to kill me.

To this day I can't tolerate most chemical odors at all, some of them nearly cause an anaphylactic reaction in me. There are aisles in WM I can't go near - laundry and candles, for example.

Is that true for most/all floral scents? What other scents do you avoid?
