Hang on. What has she got against lynx?

Only their smell, forcibly inflicted upon this household for many
years, when "Lynx" (aka in this household as "Stynx") was the favourite
brand of deodorant among the teenage male inhabitants. Sprayed through
the shirts they were wearing and down their trouser fronts as an
alternative to personal hygeine :-(
