Anyone can't stand Glade plug-ins?

The smell is a bit strong. It tends to bother me.

In general, air fresheners do irritate me with the artificial smell produced. I have encountered several more natural smelling air fresheners over the course of my lifetime.

They are disgusting. I'd much rather burn a little incense.

I prefer the smell of the powder from the shotgun blowing it off the wall.

I hate air-freshers & the smell of cleaning chemicals & stuff to. i have bad sinus problems tho

Those aren't the only thing that's sickening. The commercial also makes me want to puke with the jingle sung to a 70s tune. Gag...

Likewise. Some of them are mild enough that they don't really bother me, but in general, if something's intentionally scented, I don't want it near me.


Irritates me just as much or more than air fresheners do. The smell bothers me and it makes my nose feel stuffy. >_<

Add to the list scented candles, perfume/cologne, most smelly hair products, and many smelly bath products, including some soaps.

My friend, who told me he's an Aspie, has one plugged into his wall, and when I stepped into his bedroom, it was sensory overload. I got a headache very quickly. A few days later, I had to bring him to the mall, and as soon as he sat in my car, I said, "I smell lavender..." and he said, "Oh! I forgot about...agh!" So it doesn't bother him, but it bothers me a LOT. We had to drive with the windows cracked...

I use them but after a while the smell gets pretty nauseating.

I've never used scented oils voluntarily, but here in Florida we sometimes get damp, musty spaces that demand emergency measures. I know one apple-y scented oil I can just stand. If I put it in the damp room with the lever adjusted just a hair's breadth above OFF, it doesn't stink up the house too badly, but as soon as the humidity improves, it's in the trash.

They cause my ashtma to get worse.

I love air fresheners.

I have a b-tch candle bcause i'm a girl. i love things that smell good, sage and orange
clean linen, christmas tree perfume. now i just want to spay it on my ass it smells so good

I don't like artificial fragrances of any sort - air fresheners, perfumes, laundry products (they're the worst), or really stinky soaps. I don't use laundry stuff with added stink so my clothes just smell like clean cotton but after a day at work my clothes pick up the dryer sheet nonsense other people are covered in. Those artificial fragrances in laundry products are known hormone and endocrine disruptors yet people are being covered in them and they're pumped into the rivers. The fact that it sticks to me even if I don't touch anyone else is unnerving.

That stuff is spooky. Here's an article if anyone's interested:

I have a problem with artificial scents as well.

One interesting thing, though. I've mentioned on WP before that when I stopped taking birth control pills (which I'd been taking for years), it ended a lot of the symptoms that I had thought might be AS or ADD. One of those symptoms was an extreme sensitivity to artificial scents.

I still don't like it much, but most of them no longer make me feel sick like they used to. Our neighbors' laundry products do, though, so I have to keep my windows closed on Saturdays.

gag, I can't even walk down the laundry soap/air freshener aisle in the store... I have to hold my breath as long as I can, grab the laundry soap and dash out the area as fast as possible without causing too much of a scene. The overwhelming clash of all that stink is disgusting. .... on a similar note (pun?) there was a factory near the freeway in southern california that made all those fake pot pourri room 'freshener' things, and It stunk so bad just driving by on the freeway! yech, all those nauseating scents simultaneously, and believe me, the air in southern cali is so stinky anyway, it's amazing that ANYTHING could be discerned over the smog. How anyone can live there is beyond me. I tried. And failed.

edited for spelling.... yes, that's what 'preview' is for.... I should use it, huh
