The DH’s mother used to wear White Shoulders and I had a friend who wore it. I was pregnant with #1 and tried it. Within hours I was covered in hives. Imagine a pregnant belly covered in hives. I shiver thinking of it. LOL!

word verif- pardse
sounds like a perfume

That’s just it. The same perfume or cologne will smell twelve different ways on twelve different people. I’ve asked people what perfume they were wearing only to find out it smells like cleaning solution on me.

And some colognes will affect me while others don’t. Years ago the hubby bought some Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene. Every time he wore it my head stuffed up. I told him he had to get rid of it.

Now he wears one of the Polo fragrances or a men’s body spray from Bath and Body Works.

I Googled Tigress to see who made it (Faberge) and discovered you can buy a 12 oz bottle on overstockperfume.com for $1500. Yes, you read that right. It sure didn’t cost that when I wore it as a poor college student.

verification word = socutren, which sounds like a perfume ingredient or the generic name for a new drug for ED

I’ll have to explore the drugstore a bit more. I don’t mind inexpensive stuff, so long as it smells nice and doesn’t give me a headache.

Oh my, I forgot about Tabu! When I was in elementary school, my grandmother was an Avon Lady. I loved Sweet Honesty — which is just about the most cloying and horrible scent on the planet to my nose now.

I don’t remember Tigress, but I had a friend who loved White Linen.

My favorite perfume can be bought at the local drugstore for less than $20, and I get lots of compliments on it, so I guess I don’t stink too much. Interestingly enough, it’s simply called Skin.

In my teens I loved Tigress and Tabu. In my thirties it was White Linen. In my forties I was too busy with raising kids and I can't remember what or if I wore perfume. I guess I can definitely say my taste has changed through the years.
