Kleenex sticking out of your sweater sleeve might be a nice way to accessorize. (Not sure that this habit was too wide spread amongst grandmothers but mine did this for some reason I didn’t question then and wish I had).
I had a laboring patient told me that I smelled like her grandmother. Truth be told I WAS old enough to be her grandmother. I've worn Chantilly since 1967....guess that ages me!
ha ha ha ... that is too funny! I went to Macy's last Sunday & found myself at their perfume counter. I saturated myself in CoCo Channel
& all the way home it smelled like a skunk in my car!!
At least you are not axe teen smelled down wind at 20 paces.
That’s the smell of unused condoms and disappointment.
You just getting some milf magic going.
Fun fact: As women's hormones change, our compatibility with fragrances changes along with it.
Old Lady Perfume Smell is sometimes the result of trying to pull off our favourite scent from younger days.
I can't wear Opium anymore. Makes me reek of an arcane op shop.
if eaten alongside garlic, these foods seemed to destroy the odour: some top performers included lettuce, chicory, celery, potato, parsley, mint leaves, peppermint, basil, and mushroom.
Just experienced this via some Native body lotion. "Cedar + Sea Salt," said the label. "Cloying industrial pink powdered soap from the scary gas station bathroom," said my nose (once the clawing-at-sinuses-with-wire-brush effect stopped). Had to wash my arms AND change shirts at 1am to sleep.
I read "perfume tester" as "one of those ladies at the department store that sprays perfume on you as you go past" and I thought this was going to be a tale of revenge.
There is no cure. I swear when I see one of my mums friends it’s with me for days. Please if you find a cure, lmk. I once had to burn a tee shirt and a pillow case. No lie.
So I wear Este Lauder Youth Dew which is old AF. My mother wore it. I'm 69, and it's a comfort to "smell" my mom. Sometimes my nieces and nephews say I "smell like grandma" and mean it in a good way. Old lady smell from an old lady who smells like an older lady is okay.
What perfume was it...asking for a friend...aka me...🫣😂
Im in my 30s embracing my old lady era..the white hairs started taking over at 21, so Im just starting the brand remake early!
Is there a tissue up your sleeve? Is there a half eaten pack of Certs in the bottom of your pocketbook? Are you wearing pantyhose? If none of the above, you’re going to be ok!
Oh no! I used to be a trader in the pits in Chicago - we literally had to pass a rule that cologne and perfume were banned - too many people!
If someone can smell your perfume and they’re not about to kiss you - that’s too much perfume. lol
I spray a concoction of virgin olive oil and Bengay on my wife and let her proceed ahead as I park the car whenever she makes me go to the mall or school functions. This way i can let a fart fly while the other patrons are already targeting her...(12' radius) but yes...murder she wrote is on Peacock
I know! It stays in the clothes like BO smell in the car on "Seinfeld". I bought a beautiful top at a thrift shop and have washed it at least five times including in vinegar. And every time I take it out of the dryer....old lady perfume smell.
I am so afraid of the old lady smell. At which point does that settle in. Will my Mlle Coco that I have lived for years start smelling weird at some point?
At 1st, I thought you were confessing to dousing one of those mall perfume spraying people. I got a coffee and settled in for an action/thriller post and then got an angsty mid-life crisis post. But my coffee is good.
Be careful with grandmothers perfume, I hear that theres an additive thats been found in some thats addictive and that rapidly ages the user. I sware, It's no coincidence.
Just don't start wearing beige and trousers that don't fit properly. Or anoraks. And never think you'll look ok in a baseball cap. Perfume is temporary. Style is forever. Be careful out there.
My signature scent has been Viva La Juicy since 2010ish. My teenagers have now told me it’s old lady perfume. I guess it happens to us all eventually 🤣
