Oh my yesterday while me and my husband where at the health department reapplying for my medicare ever since women there seemed like they where wearing perfume with isn't to big of deal till you sit or walk by that one person that either puts to much on or gets that strong stuff where ever breath you take you struggle to breath. I know with my pregnant nose that smells can bother but damn yesterday I thought I was going to die while waiting I keep chocking on the sent of ever singing women and there perfume and none of them smelled good. This is why I really don't wear perfume that often because you never now if the person next to you is allergic which there are people allergic to perfume or being pregnant like myself.

Thanks for this discussion, this is 8 months old and i am sure you are blessed with a cute baby, many women can't bear strong smells even if it is perfume; more so during pregnancy, i and my wife use mild real scents made from real flowers only.

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, i am also in your sort, not interested in perfumes. As you mentioned some persons have allergy with perfumes and our perfume may give some unwanted troubles to them. Some persons don't give importance to other persons and they will do this kind of unwanted things

Personally, I have never understood this one wth men or women. Especially when it is to cover up other things like body odors sometimes as well. Don't they ever stop to think about others, and be a little more cautious. I am allergic to some of the colognes out there, so sometimes I find myself avoiding some places because of this.

Ahah! I've experienced this as well in the first and second trimesters of my pregnancy. Some scents also give me headaches. For the same reason I also don't wear perfume that often, but I always bring a small bottle with me in case I will need it (if I stink at some point).

Hello I am aware of the fact that some men and women, pregnant are allergic to perfumes because I use real scent derived from flowers like rose, jasmine, lavender and musk,I do not use perfumes and cologne, they have spirit or other chemicals i use them daily.

Even natural smells of things people are allergic to as well. It's not the scent of the perfume in witch the person is allergic to it's what's in the prefume that they make that a person pregnant or not they can be allergic to and pregnant women have a higher smell intake.

Of course it changes for. Person to person but a person should think with ther brains and know that there are a lot of people with allergies and some chemicals in the, can ,ale people's allergies go off. Or it can chock the, if they put too much on. One people just don't know when too much is too much.

my mom is like that. she can smell everything and has a super sensative nose but not me. my kids always tell me when i put too much perfume on because i cannot smell it due to a permanently stuffy nose. apparently, i am an offender as i often wear too much.

Pregnant women tend to have sensitive nose yes some people wear to much or the brand they get is a strong ones. I can't stand it normally it's teens that over due it. It doesn't offend people it can just have some issues for them.

Sometimes my nose is sensitive and I will sneeze if I smell some strong smelling. When I go to work and take the lift, sometimes I will smell the strong perfume and I try to hold my sneeze:) I think it is not necessary to wear so much perfume. A light good smelling will be nice enough. I love China

I agree a little can go a long way with out bugging other people. I don't mind a stronger one that fades to a small amount that smells a lot lighter after a few minutes but not all day where it's like chocking every person that they go buy.

My nose wasn't that senstive in my first pregnancy but this one it really is some things just make me feel awful or just bother me. Strong perfumes or big groups of people that are wearing a lot of perfume it does it and gives me a head aches at time in which I can't tell if it's my medication or just the smell.

some people can't judge how strong their perfume smells. and some use lot of perfume so they smell good for longer periods. what they need to know is, use a long lasting perfume. spraying too much perfume at a time is not the solution! it only chokes people around you. maybe you could cringe in front of that person and wonder out loud, "where is that strong smell coming from?"

Why would I want to do that. I as much as it bothers me it's not on my body and I'm not stuck with them all day. I'm pregnant anything can bother my nose. But yes I do agree some people don't know but that is when there friends and family should tell them not strangers. Im not going to talk to people I don't know its not me I keep to myself.

IN grade school many years ago we had a principle there who everyone knew was coming due to the perfume she put on, it was strong everyday! And as far as I know she didn't need to wear it in a school with kids all around. What bothers my nose these days moreso though is cig smoke, it really makes me run away from someone if the smoke is really strong, I can't tolerate it. It can actually make me want to throw up or gag. It's just how I react to it.

A lot of people are like that with smoke. More and more people are actually allergic to smoke so they get that feeling your talking about. I'm allergic to smoke when it comes form cigs so I don't allow it around my house or my kids. A lot of people are also allergic to certain things in perfum so if it's to strong it can cause them to have some kind of reaction. Normally perfume doens't bother me much but i"m pregnant so my nose picks up on everything so it was killing me yesterday.

I have learned that there's two main reasons why a person stank even when wearing perfume: when the perfume isn't compatible with our body chemistry or we put too much! We smell differently even if we just took a shower and it has something to do with our body chemistry; there are certain perfumes which are flattering to our own smell, while there are those which just make us smell funny. That;s why sometimes even if the same person wears the same perfume, it smells differently when they have it on. And of course dousing yourself with too much perfume really assaults everyone else's nose within feet away. Maybe someone from their own department should bring their attention on this; considering that they're all about health. Maybe they have a suggestion box or something? That maybe they should go easy on the perfume as too much of anything is also not good.

Most people but more on because they like it not because of there body chemicals. That is also why they make deoterinet for you to put on. I don't see what your saying has to do with the discussion. Yeah the health deparentment would hold a suggestion box for the people that are coming in and out. People are going to wear what ever in there and I got stuck going at a bad time where ever women in there was wearing something and it doesn't help that I'm pregnant it just kills me.

Oh dear, it sadness for you. Sometimes people use some disgusting perfumes that smells horribles or cheaper. I hate when people use this strong fragrance.have a nice day

Price of something doesn't mean it's better in smell and stuff. Some people just don't know when is too much or that is to stronger to wear in an inclosed place. Thus the reason why I don't wear any at all normally. Deteriorate is normally enough since it's got some what of a smell to it.

This topic with the perfumes is bothering me too. My boyfriend, being very big guy (physically big) wears perfume all the time, because he is sweating a lot. I don't like using so much perfume. I have two half full bottles at home, but I shower few times a day, so I don't need this fake smell on my body. If I put perfume on myself it will be below my armpits if I put a new shirt which comes directly from the laundry washed and clean. I will put little perfume, to not get the clean shirt smelly right after putting it on. He is using perfumes all the time. Now he bought one little sweet smell, he is using it every time after washing his body. Late in the night I feel my nose very sensitive to smells. I tell him all the time to not use so much perfume all over, but ... he doesn't listen.

Deoterient helps with sweating. Men don't wear perfume it's colon or body spray. I like wearing body mist which is a lot lighter then perfume but not every day just when we go out on a nice date. It's bad to wash yourself several times a day it's not good for your body oils. Really all you need is one little spray and your good to go for a while.

That is there preferences to wear perfumes. We still have to be sensitive in some point, but that is life. It is a part of life to understand their ways of living.

Okay what does that have to do with the discussion of my post. Yews I know it's a preference to why someone one does or doesn't wear it but man some people just put way to much on and it can really hurt other people and where I was at you don't want to wear perfume because it won't only chocked up other people there but small babies and that can cause them to stop breathing. Talking about killing a newborn with smell.

I guess they didn't get the memo on spray is enough. It's like one of those stores where they dose it with clothes.
