  • U could do something to ur vids cause ur sound is very low.....

  • yeah, im gonna see about fixin that :) thanks

  • Cubby, I just went out to the store with your list. I purchased a perfume for my self and a cologne for my boyfriend.

    I've always been allergic to both cologne and perfume, and never even thought that it's likely a specific ingredient!

    Anyway, my point is, today I finally purchased a perfume for myself that I can actually wear and not be uncomfortable with.

    Thanks :D

  • AH YAY! im so glad that you have found a perfume that you're happy with :)!!

  • Thanks again man! Say, which school do you go to? I'm studying business at Indiana University.

  • i am workin on my Bachelors of Business Administration degree with a Marketing concentration :)

  • oh it was limonen. Haha sorry

  • Thanks! YOU ROCK! :D

  • Thank you so much! I am allergic to some perfumes that the girls on the bus wear and now I know what is making me sneeze

  • That was the complete opposite of what happened too me the Armani makes me sneeze alot... But the other 1 didnt lol woe

  • Haha! Isn't acetone paint thinner? Great idea, Cubby!

  • @MindofaJedi__You are so right. It is shameful how the fragrance industry is marketing so aggressively towards young people today. When I was a kid, perfumes were mainly for older ladies who had been brainwashed to think it would help them keep their men! (That of course was a lie, as most men hate ladies' perfume!)

  • Just in addition, I think a lot of people are allergic to the actual notes in many fragrance. Some of the more common notes that may make you sneeze are pachooli (spelling?), black pepper, and mint leaves. (Think pure mint, not sweet mint)

  • Just wondering, but don't 99% of all colognes have those ingredients, other than Creeds of course? I'm sure all of the colognes that I own have all of those ingredients listed. Guess I'm not allergic. Currently I own Kenneth Cole Black, Hollister SoCal, Azzaro Chrome, Antonio Banderas Seduction in Black, Stetson Fresh, Stetson Country, Usher Vip, Unforgivable, and McGraw by Tim McGraw. I'm considering buying Diesel Fuel For Life and the original John Varvatos.

  • acetone? wtf?

  • Perfumes are TOXIC ! My girlfriend worked the cosmetics department of a major retail store and had to quit due to the smells making her sick . Her boss told her several previous employees quit for the same reason . Perfumes and plug in air fresheners both disrupt your normal hormone production .
