Totally - it’s not deodorant or fabric softener - it is a uniform fragrance worn by same jcrew types in their 50s.

Everyone is switching to TRUMP fragrance, golden yellow toilet water for men and women.

This is like a family feud question. I thought for sure “urine” would be on the top 10 board, along with pot.

Sorry - doing too many dumb things at same time …

It’s on women I guess - I smell it on passing strangers & women I am in company of but not everyday friends & never say “you smell so nice. Watch ya wearing”?


Why not ask? I do it all the time and do it to men too. But heck, I'm genX who still believes in small talk.

This. We live in a condo and the elevator reeks of different perfumes in the mornings.

My daughter wears this and I can't stand it. Just awful.


Oh gosh, mine did too and I hated it and I'm not usually sensitive to scents.
Thankfully that phase passed.
I called it her "corpse flower" perfume.

Adults wear Sol de Janeiro? I thought only teens buy those - it's basically an updated version of the Bath & Body works "body splash" we moms used in middle school?

Or just plain old Secret.

Years ago I randomly purchased some Secret deodorant and everywhere I went I’d get compliments that I smelled so good! Probably no longer available.

Are you being serious? Why would you use chat gpt for something so stupid?

I swear, we are running full tilt towards dumbing ourselves down.

NP. And yet I smell it on people all the time. I think of it as “hotel smell”; a bunch of boutique hotels used it as their scent for a while.

Maybe one of the new whole body deodorants? I recently bought one to deal with the swampy DC summer, but I don’t like the scent.
