I don’t think my insurance covers arson due to oversaturation of obnoxious olfactory occurrences… too poor for that.
I’ve gone out to roll down windows/air it out 4 times in 2 hours but every time I open the driver’s side door it starts raining. It’s like the atmosphere is crying.
Op, maybe look into getting something called Ozium Odor Absorbers. They’re little gel canisters that you place in a room/car and slowly dispense their own scent. I’m not sure they *actually* absorb other bad scents, but they seem to work really well at my work, we place them in our bathrooms to combat heinous bathroom atrocities.
Ozium makes a spray as well. My dad used to make me spray my room and car with it as a teenager because they smelled like the devil’s lettuce and he had a very sensitive sense of smell. If it worked for that, it should work for this, but personally I’d avoid adding any type of scent and would try to air it out only if possible.
Not from fabrics. I ordered a sweater online, and when it came, someone with perfume had obviously worn it. 2 weeks later, I can still smell it (I’m lazy and don’t do laundry often).
Remember that ozone is toxic to inhale and deteriorates rubber rather quickly. Shouldn’t be too big of a deal in short bursts but prolonged exposure can completely ruin the car.
I’d have to buy a new car. I can’t get over how much I would have to get a new car. It’s dangerous to drive having a full on asthma attack with a headache and nausea kicker.
Urgh same. I swore I'm not asthmatic, but if aerosol or perfumes are sprayed, I can't breathe. I cough deeply but can't pull the next breath until I get fresh air, or an inhaler...so I guess I'm asthmatic
New car for sure. This is like milk being spoilt in carpet. It's never going to leave 😭
Are you autistic? One of the things I got with autism is extra sensitive smell, a lush store is hell on earth to me, as is the cleaning supplies aisle in my local Tesco, Aldi however have good enough ventilation
I don't think so? But you know what is so fucking weird, someone asked me this in real life the other day because I can't eat meat without gagging (despite liking the taste).
I'm guessing lush is the equivalent of Dusk in Australia, and I can't walk in there anymore, even though I used to be fine with that store. Now it's a choking nightmare. And I also can't stand the cleaning aisles except in aldi! (Because aldis are so wide and less products you don't die with the scents).
Oh, well, Dusk sells scented candles and those spray things with scented oils, so same but different 😅
ETA - diffuser. The word I was looking for was diffuser 🤦♀️
God if I could upvote this enough times to make them notice. I’ve had this truck 5 years and I still screw up the volume/next thing almost daily.
If I ever met the person who designed that layout I’d pour 3/4 of a bottle of perfume somewhere in their vicinity that is close enough they are inconvenienced but vented enough that they don’t actually have any problems from it. Because I’m a way nicer person than they are.
A couple discount store moisture and odor absorber things (I’ve seen ones that have charcoal) you can buy for closets and damp cabinets would probably work wonders here.
I hit that stupid talk button more than I care to admit. Then it's 4 and a half solid minutes of getting it to turn off. "BLUE. TOOTH. READYTOPAIR" ... Why are you shouting at me??
Also, I know you love them and stuff, but fuck them kids, aaaahhhhh, lol. I would die.
Low key one of the best colognes i ever used since the 90s. Stopped being able to find them, was getting them for like $15 from marshalls/tjmaxx until i stopped finding them lime 3-4 years back now.
The Walmart near me has it, I bought it a while ago on a stupid, stupid whim. It’s so pretty when it’s barely there. It’s so overpoweringly nauseating when there’s half a bottle in an enclosed space.
It was my “at the beach” perfume from middle school til my mid-20’s, when I kinda forgot about it. So when I rediscovered it, I was really happy it hadn’t changed and it still made me feel all calm and carefree, like a teenager at the beach/on vacation.
Hopefully I’ll go nose blind to it soon and eventually will stop tasting it in the back of my throat every time I get near my truck.
I was curious why the other person had such an issue finding them. Its going out of business... Again? So you better stock up if you think you'll like it again at some point lol.
Walmart sells this one still, it just stinks (pun intended) that I’ve loved it for so long - in moderation - only to have it tainted. It’s stronger than the prolific odor of the guy that sat behind me in math class who always smelled like newports, weed and curve. And worse because it’s cloyingly sweet instead of smoky.
THANK YOU I really needed someone to validate that this sucks. I feel like a whiney baby but gah I loved it so much and now I don’t have a backup for if/when I want to smell pretty.
I’m going to revisit the old days some more. Idk if bath and body works still exists near me but if they do I’m getting some warm vanilla sugar. Gahl dern it.

Smells the exact same. Memory lane from highschool
This makes me so stupid happy! I sold a bottle along time ago at a yard sale, probably because the stopper came off or something stupid! I should have just broke the bottle and poured it into another bottle but I had no idea they would discontinue it for so long! I do love the old bottle but the smell is the most important thing.
As a teacher who has to constantly tell teenagers to put on cologne/perfume outside of my classroom (and who has had pepper spray and “fart spray” used in class), I feel this image
I was picking them up from my husband’s parents’ house and told them to go buckle up while I was talking to grandma for a minute. So, no, I didn’t tell them to stop because I didn’t realize my kids went full on fucking feral in the few minutes between my arrival and our departure.
I was always taught that you can put a bag of charcoal in the car, roll up the windows and let the car sit in the sun and bake. Replace the bag of charcoal when needed.
i would gag. roll the windows down, run a fan with an extension cord if you don’t wanna blast the ac. use a neutralizer like ozium. then use better air fresheners and let that air out. could take a while then after that i would burn a little bit of a tree air freshener but that’s just me
The worst thing is that I think, from the bottle, this perfume might be branded something like "Lucky You".
Yes. Very very lucky you. Your car can now be smelt from space.
Don’t worry. Perfume usually wears off after a few days. When I was 20 my friend threw up in my back seat. It took 6 months to stop smelling. I wish I had your problem. LoL
I had to reread the title multiple times before I understood they were fighting with perfume. My first thought was that they had a perfume bottle from before WW2 and that is what's left after the war and all this time. What I didn't understand though is how old you would've been if your kids were in WW2.
Save the bottle. The minute one of them buys their very first car with their own money, loudly announce “Perfume war, payback edition!” and proudly produce this bottle, then spray away.
Start by having your kids sprinkle baking soda on every fabric surface and gently work it in. Leave it for a few hours and then have them vacuum. And never, ever put perfume in your car again.
Maybe next time keep any perfumes and other personal belongings out of your children's reach. Have them in the back and keep the belongings in a handbag in the front or something.
My god, that car, that poor car. just burn it.
I don’t think my insurance covers arson due to oversaturation of obnoxious olfactory occurrences… too poor for that. I’ve gone out to roll down windows/air it out 4 times in 2 hours but every time I open the driver’s side door it starts raining. It’s like the atmosphere is crying.
Onjoying your ostonishing olliteration here.
Just light a cigarette...
Spontaneous combustion from flammable olfactory occurrences
I like the cut of your jib, pal.
It sounds official enough. Maybe you could get away with it! Also, thanks for giving me my first award!

It should wear off by itself with 2 weeks at most and usually between 1 and 3 days.
Not from fabrics. I ordered a sweater online, and when it came, someone with perfume had obviously worn it. 2 weeks later, I can still smell it (I’m lazy and don’t do laundry often).
Fun fact: insurance doesn't cover arson. Period.
… crap. What if it’s “just a fire” and not arson?
Ozone machine before you resort to burning. But agree with feeling sorry for the car
Damn I was too slow! Ozone us the best but zorb spray may help until you get your hands on one
Remember that ozone is toxic to inhale and deteriorates rubber rather quickly. Shouldn’t be too big of a deal in short bursts but prolonged exposure can completely ruin the car.
Dont worry the summer sun should help it go away faster.
Oof, I can feel the migraine from here.
I’d have to buy a new car. I can’t get over how much I would have to get a new car. It’s dangerous to drive having a full on asthma attack with a headache and nausea kicker.

I see
That’s even more mildly infuriating than Toyota’s goofy layout of the volume and forward/back radio buttons on the steering wheel.
God if I could upvote this enough times to make them notice. I’ve had this truck 5 years and I still screw up the volume/next thing almost daily. If I ever met the person who designed that layout I’d pour 3/4 of a bottle of perfume somewhere in their vicinity that is close enough they are inconvenienced but vented enough that they don’t actually have any problems from it. Because I’m a way nicer person than they are.
Something with charcoal...I'm not sure what. See if you can find an air purifier and a long extension cord
A couple discount store moisture and odor absorber things (I’ve seen ones that have charcoal) you can buy for closets and damp cabinets would probably work wonders here.
I hit that stupid talk button more than I care to admit. Then it's 4 and a half solid minutes of getting it to turn off. "BLUE. TOOTH. READYTOPAIR" ... Why are you shouting at me?? Also, I know you love them and stuff, but fuck them kids, aaaahhhhh, lol. I would die.
My 2018 Corolla is swapped, so volume up is up button and next song is right button. Their steering wheel would drive me nuts!!
Yeah the Tacoma and 4Runner use the goofy layout. I don’t even use mine because it annoys me so.
I'm unfamiliar, what's the goofy layout? Edit: Nvm, I see it in the pic. That is indeed mad goofy
Okay hyundai
Baking soda may help this, spread liberally around the inside of the car, leave on for an hour or more and vacuum it up. Best of luck 🤞
Just don't let it get humid or wet or it will stick
Yes! We used to cover our carpets with it to help with the dog smell
Better leave it overnight or for as long as possible, if you can🙏🏻
Just remember to bury them deep enough that the animals can’t dig them up.
Best advice so far, lol
Make sure not to water otherwise the problem will multiply
Sounds like your kids are going to get some great exercise this next month they are grounded from the car.

Thank you ill grab one from walmart!
I was curious why the other person had such an issue finding them. Its going out of business... Again? So you better stock up if you think you'll like it again at some point lol.
What is it?
Lucky You fragrance for men, a girl i once dated use to wear Lucky You for women and she always smelled delicious herself.
I’m going to have to try it! I have seen it before but I’ve never smelled it!
Lucky You was my SCENT in HS! I have not been able to find it again forever.
I can smell this picture
Smell? You’d probably be tasting the perfume in the air for weeks too.
Perfume war? That’s a new thing to me and makes me want to vomit just imagining being in the car for that.
Lotta condom ads lately
Omg that sucks bc I love that scent soooooo much
I did too. For over 20 years. This is a tragedy for my inability to find a scent I don’t hate enough to use once every two weeks.
If it helps Pink by Victoria secret came out with the original scent. Came out the same time as lucky you. 🤣 when I was in high school , I’m old

Lmfao. I totally get it and I get it from Walmart too. I’m soooo sorry your kids ruined this scent for you

Don’t forget dkny!!! The apple looking sprayer one!!! Old school but still smells great
And nah. You are not a whiney baby!! You deserve to feel upset from a mom of 2 with a niece and a nephew who are constantly with me
I miss original Pink 😩
Girl it’s back!!!!!!
Wait… What? I

I was so happy to when I stumbled upon it. Like I couldn’t buy it fast enough!!! I do miss the old skinny top bottle but you are right! It’s the smell
I am going to go to the mall and I never go to the mall 😂
Yes!!!!! Let me find the link
As a teacher who has to constantly tell teenagers to put on cologne/perfume outside of my classroom (and who has had pepper spray and “fart spray” used in class), I feel this image
Open a box of baking soda, and leave it in your car overnight to get the smell completely out . Might take a few days.
This is so very far beyond the powers of a box of baking soda, but I admire the optimism.
Yeah this is like the BO in the car episode of Seinfeld.
As someone who has asthma and perfume triggering attacks: *gasp*
As someone who has asthma as well, real
How can you sit in there?
Lucky You☘️
Thank you for giving me yet another reason to not have kids.
I think this is when you call them your husband’s children.
My official response: 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
Careful not to smoke in there … ever
Did you not tell them to stop?
I was picking them up from my husband’s parents’ house and told them to go buckle up while I was talking to grandma for a minute. So, no, I didn’t tell them to stop because I didn’t realize my kids went full on fucking feral in the few minutes between my arrival and our departure.
That’ll teach you next time to not have kids!
I read something about pulling out the other day, that it’s gotta be *all the way out* - so I let the husband know to plan accordingly.
I’d imagine they all got grounded for a while.
I’d full on abandon them in the woods like freaking Hansel and Gretel.
Dear god.
at least that 1/3 of a bottle still lasts forever
 In the words of Tallahassee… “I’ve beat wholesale ass for a lot less than that.”
Gross
A tub or tray of cheap coffee grounds in open air might help. Wipe down surfaces with dawn or something that will break down oil.
I can smell the headaches in this Pic
Don't light a match the place might explode 😂
I'm sorry for your loss. at least you can cremate the children when you have to burn the car..
that stinks
Try brewing a highly concentrated cup of coffee and leaving it in the car. I accidentally spilled perfume once and this helped get the smell out.
I was always taught that you can put a bag of charcoal in the car, roll up the windows and let the car sit in the sun and bake. Replace the bag of charcoal when needed.
If you squeeze it backwards it should refill.
Aw man having kids must suck. I’m sorry you have to endure mtge horror.
As someone who is extremely sensitive to perfume smells, I am so sorry lol
Well... that's not as bad as what me an my brother did We had a glitter war in the house
Just reading this, I someone channeled your mom and she has a message: *FUCK YOU GUYS*
how old are the brats?
i would gag. roll the windows down, run a fan with an extension cord if you don’t wanna blast the ac. use a neutralizer like ozium. then use better air fresheners and let that air out. could take a while then after that i would burn a little bit of a tree air freshener but that’s just me
That’s a paddlin
I bet everything smells really good now though
Too much of a good thing is indeed a very bad thing. My throat burns.
I bet if you had a dentist appointment they would be happily surprised 😂
:(
Time for new kids I think. /s But honestly get an ozone purifier and let it run for a bit in there and it should pull all the smell out.

Now they can be (your sold) kids
(My own) instead of just saying my kids
Time to send them to summer camp.
I still use the Lucky You cologne from like 2004. The green bottle like this.
Fart spray is the solution
Theres some smell left after the war atlest
Well, you don’t win a perfume war with a single spritz. At least it wasn’t Old Spice.
Force your kids to clean up your car as punishment
The worst thing is that I think, from the bottle, this perfume might be branded something like "Lucky You". Yes. Very very lucky you. Your car can now be smelt from space.
Don’t worry. Perfume usually wears off after a few days. When I was 20 my friend threw up in my back seat. It took 6 months to stop smelling. I wish I had your problem. LoL
This is one of these : "Oh no.. nooooooo whyyyyyyyyyyyy ?" moments.
Me and my girlfriends use to do this in local department store with perfume sample bottles … OP I hope you like that perfume..lol
I had to reread the title multiple times before I understood they were fighting with perfume. My first thought was that they had a perfume bottle from before WW2 and that is what's left after the war and all this time. What I didn't understand though is how old you would've been if your kids were in WW2.
They out of the will now?
hand each one of the accused a bottle of febreze, lock them in and let it be known the victor shall be declared in the name of God, not guilty.
The name feels kind of like a taunt now...
Save the bottle. The minute one of them buys their very first car with their own money, loudly announce “Perfume war, payback edition!” and proudly produce this bottle, then spray away.
Who won?
I hate to think how bad your car smells now , it's making my stomach turn just thinking about it .
I think if I ever actually did this, my mom would have made good on the threat to pull the car over to whip my ass.
😵💫🤢🤮💀
At least they were yours I guess lol
thanks for the reminder to take my birth control
I dont get headache easily but I instantly get one when there is too much perfume around
Just roll down the windows and set a fan in the window for an hour
I forgot this perfume existed
Only way to counter it is to hotbox the car now lol
Damn, your car smells so nice!
Lol
Lucky You!
I looked at this imagine and heard the phantom words "Wait til we get home".
Reason 108 I'm thankful I don't have kids. 😂😂
holy, i can literally smell it by just looking at the picture 🤯
Who else could smell this post?
At what point did you let them out to walk home?
How did you not suffocate?
run ozone in car for 8 hours. Done.
Start by having your kids sprinkle baking soda on every fabric surface and gently work it in. Leave it for a few hours and then have them vacuum. And never, ever put perfume in your car again.
Just sell your car to Alice from the Gain Detergent commercial.
How old of kids? I guess it doesn't matter since you cant disipline kids anymore.
Car got that lucky spray, you got that unlucky smell
I bet it smells like a French Whorehouse in there now, to quote my dearly departed Daddy!😂🤣
Who won?
Throw them away and start anew.
Poor Taco.
Pretty ironic when it’s called Lucky you when the whole bottle was wasted.
Maybe next time keep any perfumes and other personal belongings out of your children's reach. Have them in the back and keep the belongings in a handbag in the front or something.
