The one that older women wear that is nauseating is always unmistakably the same one. I don't know the name of it, but I've had to leave gatherings here because of it smelling like a combination of moth balls and maybe Eau de Funeral Parlor.
We have attended several churches here, where it seemed that all the friendly, sweet ladies at the doorway had taken a soaking bath in that godawful perfume. Several times, the services were inspiring and well led, but I had to leave early because of that awful perfume, and there was no way we'd join and attend there.
Does anybody know what it is? Somebody needs to tell women who wear it.

I think I know. It's VERY heavy super sickly sweet. It's by Este Lauder. One of the first popular ones. I was admitted to the hospital and the lady (I was about 25) in the next bed was elderly. She sprayed it all the time to cover up the hospital smell. I finally got to move to another room because I kept getting nauseous and had an awful migraine. I can sit here and recall the overbearing sickly sweet smell ugh. Wasn't the very first perfume of that company called Este Lauder?..
