Is there a way to neutralize or remove perfume once it has been sprayed on the skin?
I sprayed on a perfume that is nauseating. I would like to remove all traces of it. I’ve tried washing (my wrists), but it still lingers. Am I going to have to wait until it wears off, or is there some way to neutralize it?

“If you accidentally overdose on perfume, should saturate a cotton ball or cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and lightly rub your skin where you sprayed the perfume. Witch hazel pads work as well. Just use whatever you have on hand. In a pinch, white vinegar can be used as well. Don’t worry about the vinegar smell. When it dries, the smell fades away. Allow the area to dry.”—From eHow.
Rubbing alcohol might work, then wash with soap and water.
Maybe you can rub coffee grinds on your skin, then wash with soap, and repeat. They put coffee beans in containers at perfume counters because it makes the smell of the perfume go away from your nose and then all you smell is coffee. I think it helps you smell each perfume individually so all the smells don’t meld together.
Try it, I bet it will work!
I second witch hazel or rubbing alcohol. About any astringent should help.
Push comes to shove, try washing with dish soap. It may help break down the agents in the perfume designed to linger through hand washings.
Take a shower and scrub with your luffa.
@rebbel Thank you. The rubbing alcohol really did the trick. I wiped the area with the alcohol and let it dry, and then washed again with soap and water, and the scent was gone.
( oops, I should’ve searched Google first before posting)
