That old lady smell

Posted: 6/16/2009 10:53:02 AM EDT

Often time when I walk pass some old ladies I'd get that strange odor. It's not BO, but more chemical, like some kind of industrial cleaning solvent, and it's identical enough from different people that it's recognizable as "that smell" And it's never with old guys, just old women. Certainly it can't be perfume, unless they are trying to attract vultures.

Any clue?

My wife colors her hair, but she never smells like that. But then, she does not have blue and pink hair, either.

Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink fool, will drown you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Now they call you Prince Charming
Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes
Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Hey, you're a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
I know I been there before

One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

That is it. Men get it too, but when closer to death.

You guys need to grow up!!! Don't forget one day you will be old, wrinkly, impotent, peeing and pooping on yourself, forgetting everything, crippled up and in pain, and lonely.

No, it's perfume.

I'm not entirely sure what brand it is, but it comes in a little square amber bottle. Not spray, the kind you dab on.

My grandmother in law has a bottle of it sitting near her doorway on the key rack. She gives herself a dab when she leaves the house. It's wretched when it's fresh.

Don't ask me why all old ladies wear the same sh*t or why it smells like dead animals, feet and mothballs, but it is a perfume. That I can say with certainty.

FDS or the generic brand of FDS. Not quite perfume and not quite lysol.

Daughter calls it moth ball smell. She claims it is in our house too but then she is supposed to be the funny one.

As an aside, she found her first gray hair the other day. I got much joy from that anouncment.

Perfume covered BO and pee pee smell

The smell reminds me of Bug Spray.

With all due respect to all old ladies, I think it could be an issue for some of them , of the cleanliness of their private parts and their bodies in general.

God bless their little hearts.

Nothing worse than walking past a table full of old women at a restaurant. That distinct "old woman smell" from their perfume fills the whole area and reeks to high heaven.

Thankfully my grandmother doesn't smell that way.

Cheap Gardenia purfume and moth balls. Add a bit of cat stenchy ammonia for extra eye watering goodness.

Trying to get their little legs apart.

The smell of old trailer trash is the worst. It's a nasty combo of B.O., stale cigarette smoke, human/animal urine, and some sort of fast food all rolled up into one.

I think its moth balls. Sometimes I'll drive past a nursing home or area with a high concentration of older folks and get a whiff of that stank.
