This evening I took an hour off from work and visited Barney's in NYC. Had a great time sniffing and left wearing about 4 different frags - Rocabar, Chergui, something from Malle and something from Le Labo. Anyway, got to the car and became violently sick ... I had to pull over three times. I'll spare you all the details. Normally, I have a stomach of steel and nothing affects me. What happened? I had no idea I could get this sick from cologne shopping. Could it be an allergic reaction? I've tried to scrub it all off but just the memory of the scent sends waves of nausea. Thanks for any insight.

Love this scent! Great for summer, better for day, but good for night as well. I’ve worn it for 10 years and never had it go bad. I would say it is more masculine, clean and almost classic. I...

In all seriousness, your being ill may have nothing to do with the fragrances that you wore.
