Thought it'd be kind of fun to do a thread on a Field Guide to Scents Worn by Hookers, Hoochies, Tarts and of course their Male Counterparts.
Any suggestions? BTW, what would you call the MALE counterpart of this genre?


You ladies would have better input on hoochie guys.

How about hoochos?!?

Haha, Fryl. Good call.


I have heard them called 'Guido Salamis'. Left out a category. Oops. Mall Queens and Mullet Girls who wear sensible shoes.

Aqua de Gio for the former and Drakkar Noir for the latter.

My dad wears Drakkar Noir, and is definately NOT a hoocho, mall queen, or mullet girl.

Sorry, Beckers


Didn't mean to offend. I have a bottle of FAUX Drakkar Noir.


Just citing examples of what I've...smelled.

If we get enough suggestions, I might wear one on a job interview...ya never know.

I have some suggestions, but I don't want to offend anyone

Go on anan! No one will be offended!!
Oops, missed the previous post, on second thought, never mind

Lol, I wasn't offended, just making a distinction! Please post them, Anan!

Please post the suggestions!
I had a student wearing Passion for MEN.. I told him he smelled like a "WORKING MAN"
A lot the high school kids I work with wear that AX stuff.. and they thing they have their "GAME" on... LOL
The working girls I have encountered seem to wear ROSEY smelling fragrances!
How about NASTY SMELLING GRAY FLANNEL... <GAG>

Oh, I have opinions on this. Disclaimer: My opinions are made about the fragrances & not the wearers of such fragrances, unless otherwise noted. The fragrance wearers that I make comments about are random people that I have seen while out shopping in ATL or idiots that I have unfortunately dated.

Women's Fragrances:
VS Very Sexy Now-It's too strong & the gold tiger stripe packaging is far too tacky. And apparently it's become quite popular among less than tasteful females.
Chanel Chance-Way too strong.
JCB-The labeling for this scent may look nice, but it's too strong.
VS Amber Romance-This scent is too strong too.
VS Love Spell-This scent is actually nice, but it depends more on who's wearing it. For some reason, it has become a favorite scent for some females that aren't all that tasteful.
Creamy Coconut-This is the favorite BBW Classic scent for less than tasteful females.
Burberry Touch-Looks demure, but is way too strong.
Burberry Brit-It may look like a proper British fragrance, but it's really overwhelming.
Tropical Colada-Overdose on the suntan oil. I hate to think what it'd be like if this scent were paired w/ any of the various self-tanning products out this season.

Men's Fragrances:
Abercrombie Fierce-Is anybody else bothered by the fact that there's a picture of a guy's abs on the packaging? I had an ex who actually had this scent...let's just say that I did not approve of his "extracurricular activities".
VS Very Sexy For Him 1-This is the most metrosexual men's fragrance I've come across ever. And the only guy I ever met who owned this fragrance was quite a bit of a jerk.

Paris Hilton's original perfume literally made me gag. It smelled like what I imagine a cheap hooker to smell like.

Yay! I finally got a doctor's appointment after waiting 5 days.


Well thank you, ladies. I found ALL of the mens' fragrances around the house except for Axe. No problem on that, they had a 'mini' at CVS for $2.99. Now I should mix' em all together and add my sample vial of Body Shop's new Cassis Rose!


Had some time to kill. So I went to the mall and just asked random 'tasteless' people in elevators..what is that wonderful fragrance you are wearing?

Here are...drum roll...some of the fragrances or 'odeurs':

Nurse w bad extensions and too much gold jewelry - Lolita Lempke (sp)

Tanya Harding look alike with rose tatooed on ankle - VS Rapture mixed with VS Pear

Plus Size 'Yo' girl with shorts and pasty white legs - Ja'Dore (sp)

20 Something gurl with a 'grille' - Red Door

Mall 'twink' - Armani Code

'Gangsta' - Tommy H

Drag Queen - Body spray from Family Dollar

2 Macho women - Green Apple something

Lady security guard with a moustache - "Bictoria's Secret" (?)

Male security guard - Body Shop Mango

Mall 'hooch' (who security guard was checking out) - WVS..it was leaving a trail.

Random 'metro' - Vera Wang (LOL on that one)

'Guest worker' - Avon Timeless

To be fair, I also polled some 'respectable' people:

Muffster in training - Px Calyx

Soccer mom in tennis dress (with spider veins) - Origins Ginger

Muffster mom - Sunflowers

Stylish 'Nana' - Clinique (Duh?) It was not any of the 'Happys'

Business man - Happy for men

Business lady - Alfred Sung

Birka Lady - Didn't have to ask. It was Samsara and it burned my eyes. Chemical warfare.

Very interesting to know what people are wearing. And they will answer just like that.

For those of you who work in retail..try getting someone's email address. They'd rather tell you who they are fooling around with first.

Ok, I gotta get to class soon, but I will post my suggestions this afternoon.....

Jeff-luv the list!!!

I've been wondering - what does "muffster" mean or refer to? Clueless here. . . .

Also, what is a "grille"????

"Grill" is urban slang used to refer to teeth. Most commonly, a "grill" means teeth that have had some bling work done to them, meaning they have gold and/or diamonds on them. This style has been popularized by rappers such as Nelly & Lil John. These rappers pay expensive amts. to get this kind of work done, but in reality, the "grill" makes it look like they can't afford proper dental care. And subsequently, some young men who have adopted a hip-hop style feel that this is a fashion trend that will reflect their affluence. But it's not classy @ all.

I used to go mullet hunting with my disposable gun (camera). Did anyone else do this? I had some GOOD ones!!!!!

OMG Olfactorygirl, you crack me up!!

Speaking of gagging on fragrances..JLO killed me not to mention the Brittany garbage.... GAG
Jeff Love the list...
Very funny

Ok, so I kinda did a list like this with a friend one time and we had a lil' something like this:

Please have fun with it, I like some of these fragrances myself-it's just something fun

Old People-When they go to _______ they get:

VS: Amber Romance, Strawberries and Champagne Basic Instinct
BBW: Gardenia, Moonlight Path, or Cherry Blossom
Walgreens: Liz Taylor Gardenia, the "Diamonds" collection
"Uptown": Chanel stuff
Avon: Far Away (seriously, I have never known a granny who DIDN'T have this one)
Wanna Feel Young: Britney Curious (it has that Gardenia note they love).

And then Baby Prostitutes wear Paris Hilton, Britney Spears Fantasy, Jessica Simpson, J LO, and Love Spell when they "wanna feel extra sexy and original".

Preppies go to GAP and Abercrombie, and will splurge on a LE Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren sometimes....And would they dare buy those at a discount chain? Like, NO!!!

"Homies" get the Tommy and Very Sexy Now (seriously, that packaging is trashy, IMO, LOL)

Mommies like Cool Water and Very Sexy 2 when they wanna "sex it up".

Trailer Parkers like whatever the new Avon flavor of the month is (They are impartial to Sweet Honesty) and SHANIA. At Walmart the trailer parker teens spend some money on Curve (the blue one everyone has). And for senior prom-gotta keep it special with Exclamation!!!
*Olfactorygirl, this is where your mullet pals fit in!

****This is just for fun. If it offends anyone, I will remove the post ASAP (ya know I'm on here all the time, haha), so I mean no harm. I can't stand to kill a fly, I just thought maybe y'all might get a chuckle outta this.****
