Should Patchouli Oil be banned?
Edited on Mon Sep-26-05 12:07 PM by Zuni
I could make the case that it is a health hazard. Stuff smells AWFUL. Makes me feel ill. Hippies should wear the Nag Champa oil instead, which is very good smelling

What are your thoughts?

1. I like the smell
though it can be overpowering if it's worn in excess.

6. Same as second-hand smoke
When I encounter someone who is stinking up the place with their cologne (I am allergic to most colognes) I would love to take a fire hose to that person in retaliation.

9. Though I am not allergic, and do appreciate a good cologne or
perfume, I find it so offensive when people over-do-it.

15. People want to smell their own cologne. So they use enough to smell
it themselves - which is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much.

17. I went to the Pulmonologist....and was overwhelmed by a patient
who was wearing too much perfume in the waiting room.

It is a lung doctor's office...why would someone where so much perfume...the smell triggered some wheezing and made me want to dry heave.

8. Nag champa is infinitely better.
I can't stand patchouli oil. I don't detest the smell at first - but it lingers on furniture and becomes rancid smelling.

11. Good God, yes!
That stuff is unutterably vile. People might as well rub themselves with good, ripe dead animals; the smell would be just about as pleasant. (And it ain't just hippies who wear it.)

12. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Even though I don't use it anymore out of respect
for my surroundings I LOVE it. I could take a bath in it, actually - and I'm glad whenever I get a sniff of Patchouly somewhere :)

13. NO WAY.
Like anything else too much can make you sick: even Chanel no. 5, but I like patchouli..and let me tell you, it beats the HELL out of smelling someone doused in High Karate or Jean Nate.
