Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

I've taken to using some of my older bottles of 'odour of toilette' as deodorant instead of paying the rip off prices for Lynx etc. A couple of squirts under each arm pit and it seems to do the trick just as well.
Trouble is my sense of smell isn't great following an incident when I was 18, so no idea if it's too overpowering. No one's commented yet so **** 'em!Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

Never been a fan of perfume. But I now work in an overheated portacabin with around 15-20 bobs, all of whom eat curry for lunch and a couple of which have questionable hygiene. The afternoons can get pretty unbearable. I now douse my cleavage with Chanel #5 so I've got somewhere to stick my nose when it all gets too much.Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostNothing worse than people eating hot smelly food in the office

Indeed. The scent of woman is a lovely thing. Overwhelming it with synthetic stenches is madness.Originally posted by d000hg View PostFTFY. Medically proven too.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

I love perfume and I wear different ones according to my mood or the time of year (I have a lovely winter one which won't get much of an outing now until October)."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
