    Perfumes are TOXIC ! My girlfriend worked the cosmetics department of a major retail store and had to quit due to the smells making her sick . Her boss told her several previous employees quit for the same reason . Perfumes and plug in air fresheners both disrupt your normal hormone production .

    Interesting…
    A lot of aftershaves and perfumes for men are designed as both a fragrance and a disinfectant.

    This is because after a man shaves there is a larger chance of Staphylococci getting into the skin. So it will contain alcohol.
    To stop you from drinking the alcohol and to avoid VAT they denature it with a substance known as Denatonium the most bitter compound known to man. Hence “Alchohol Denat”
    Get it in your nose or mouth and you will feel it.
    Less contamination = higher price. +VAT

    It’s worth noting that it’s not only synthetics that cause allergic reactions. Good ol’ Mother Nature does her part in ruining some people’s fragrance fun. The International Fragrance Foundation (IFRA) has been causing a lot of outrage by limiting the amount of oakmoss (along with a lot of other natural ingredients) in classic perfumes, causing tinkering with masterpieces like Mitsouko and Diorella (both great on a man, by the way!) A very controversial subject!

    HAHAHAHAHAH funny how you are always here and not there when some of us need you for important things. As for you Mr Cubby you need to learn to pronounce names like come on look where you work man HAHAHAAHAHAH. Amazing vid though and the place is looking great I want to see it when I come out again

  13. TnDon on December 15th, 2009 7:03 pm

    Kudos for making this vid. I know some people are allergic to some colognes and other smelly-goods. Luckily, I’m not.

    Cubby, I just went out to the store with your list. I purchased a perfume for my self and a cologne for my boyfriend.
    I’ve always been allergic to both cologne and perfume, and never even thought that it’s likely a specific ingredient!
    Anyway, my point is, today I finally purchased a perfume for myself that I can actually wear and not be uncomfortable with.
    Thanks :D

    Thanks again man! Say, which school do you go to? I’m studying business at Indiana University.

    SunshineJay : Actually that nickname (mapuissance) looks French and means litterally “My power”, so it would be pronounced “Ma-Pooee-Sawns”. So Cubby, your pronunciation was close enough. Nice vid! ;-)

  19. SunshineJay on December 15th, 2009 7:03 pm

    I think its pronounced ma-pwa-sonce.
    Also <3 cubby! I have sensetive skin and allergies so it’s nice to be aware thanks!
