I have found beautiful, brand name items of used clothing over the years I buy for for work, high quality blouses from big name manufacturers for great prices. I try to get NWT when I can.
The last 4-5 items I purchased REEKED of this cheap perfume smell when opening them....took 2 washings to barely remove it! I'm not talking a light fresh scent, but heavy, distinctive, overpowering perfume...and what is weird is the same smell comes from different parts of the country!
Seriously, is there some brand of Freebreeze called, "Nasty Perfume?" It's really bizarre! There is never any mention of this STRONG perfume smell in the listings, either....It makes it really hard for me to leave good Feedback, when I almost gag opening the package and the first huge whiff comes out!
These items are always spotlessly clean, in almost new condition, too. Not a speck of dirt, dust or anything. Beautiful quality! I just cannot believe different sellers are using the same nasty, heavy perfume? Or is there some new scented spray they are all using on the items??
I'm not a overly senstive smell type person, either....I'm talking REEKS of cheap perfume that knocks you over!
I'm forced to stop buying items because of this. I feel as if I should email the seller first before bidding, to ask, "Is this item covered in perfume?" This is NOT a Freebreeze type smell. It's a mixture of Vapo-Rub doused with heavy perfume...could it be moth balls? Is there a neutralizer for that?
I just opened a gorgeous soutache and pearl trimmed ivory blouse by Kathy Chi, I would guess cost at least $50 when new. The same smell was so strong, I'm on the third washing right now.
It takes 2-3 washings to get the stink level from obnoxious to almost gone....It seems the sellers saturate the beautiful clothing!
Anyone else notice this?
