    Sadly, the horrors of faux health and safety (interfering busybodies as opposed to Life vs Death H&S) means that the EU is trying to ban oakmoss and tree moss (amongst other things) because of possible skin sensitivity risks.

    Oakmoss and tree moss are essential in many perfumes and will mean many classic perfumes changing to poorer substitutes.

    More can be read in perfume blogs but here is a good synopsis.

      Men shouldn't wear aftershave and only the simplest non-smelly deodorant going so as not to mask the pheromones (sp?) in their sweat that subconsciously attract women.

        I don't like aftershave on men really.
        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

            Is there a word for the nausea caused by the overwhelming, sinus burning pong that emanates from the perfume shop in an airport departure lounge?

                "Teen Desperation", in honour of the normal cause for this type of stench outside of airports?

                      The CuK Fashion cognescenti (see what I did there?) speak again....

                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
