Old Spice and Women's Smelly Stuff

No not that smelly stuff.

BF and I got into one our deep provocative discussions on the porch swing the other day. He said I smelled like an antique store. Again, not where you're thinking. This is not a Lume post. I said you mean I smell like potpourri? Him: Yeah is that what that stuff's called?

I was wearing Jean Nate. I know it been around forever but I'm a boomer, that's what we wore back then, especially in the summer in Baltimore where it was hot and sticky. It was light and if you kept it in fridge, it really felt cool on your skin. This was not old Jean Nate that I found on ebay. It was a brand new and pricier than it used to be bottle.

He said stick to the Chanel.

At $100.00 a bottle, Chanel is for good dates, not sitting on the swing and drinking beer dates.

So it occurred to me, men have Old Spice and it smelled good on every guy who's every worn it. And it's fairly inexpensive, they can wear it every day, to every occasion and it's never gets old.

What do we have????? Did I miss something? Is there a female equivalent to Old Spice?
IMO all that crap stinks and I cannot see why anyone would wear it its like you are trying to hide something

Yeah I love those commercials, but I don't want to smell like him. I was really hoping that some of the ladies on the forum might have suggestions for something that still smells good but is not $100. plus.
My fiancé uses some B&BW Into the Night products. It's light and not overpowering. This coming from someone who's sensitive to strong scents. Just my 2 cents...

Halston. (for women) It's not cheap, really, and I usually get it online, but 1 drugstore in PF carries it sometimes. I'm probably the only one who buys it. :lol:

It's all I've worn since I first found it in the 80's. I've tried a LOT of fragrances, and I just can't wear them for 1 reason or another. Too sweet, too musky, too freaking offensive to ME.

I still get a lot of compliments on it, so ...

For your consideration ...

That is very true. The main problem is that no one has ever counselled these people that "just a dab will do ya", and "a little goes a long way." Instead it's almost as if they pour the stuff on themselves. If they were to stand in one place long enough, they'd leave a puddle. These are the people that cause, or exasperate, chemical sensitivity in others.

What they don't realize is to dab only just enough to accentuate their natural, pheromone laden scent. So when someone, the 'target', (a possible future date), or while on a date, a SO, etc., is close enough, then the scent is picked up which can cause an arousal, (which is the goal of such use). IMHO: Perfumes and colognes, along with the visual presentation of the man or woman, are really meant to excite the libido of another, with hopes that it leads to intimacy. Heavy applicators cause disruption in the workplace, and elsewhere. By using too much they forcefully, by smelling so strong, bring the focus unto themselves at great distances, whether intended or not.

Older ladies have the problem of applying way way too much as well. Maybe it's becasue their ability to smell has decreased over time? I'm sure many here have stories of a Thanksgiving or Christmas family get-together where all the older women, (aunts, grandmothers, older visiting friends of the family women, etc.), can attest to the wafting, and nose choking, of the heavy scents of mixing different perfumes in the living room air of such get-togethers.

I thought they shut down, but I don't get out much. I just thought it might be worth a look (smell). It's not a heavy "old lady fragrance" like LR is talking about. I agree with him that a scent shouldn't be broadcast to everyone by over application. It's just a nice light scent that is only really noticeable up close and personal. I think it would be a good choice for you personally and it mixes well with Old Spice. ;)

My fiancé's usual choice for summer is OFF! Familycare powder dry formula. She loves being outdoors, but hates mosquitoes and no-see-ums.

I don't wear cologne anymore, but when I did I always liked L'air du Temps.
