Take a shower!!!!!! Don't try to MASK it with MORE STANK!!!!

A woman just walked into my office, and the STANK of her purfume is so intence, I can barely breathe. Half the office is now coughing (including myself), and my throat is sore now. Every single time this woman comes in, she reaks of purfume, its so disgusting. I feel sick to my stomach now having to inhale it. Its so RUDE! I wear purfume, so I'm not against purfume as a whole, but JUST A LITTLE AT A TIME PEOPLE!!! THE BOTTLE IS MADE TO LAST LONGER THAN ONE APPLICATION!!!


So for fellow dissers out there, just remember, no more that 2 squirts, and YOUR GOOD!!!!

At my dd's brownie troop, there is a mom that masks what she was "smoking" with perfume. She smells horrible. Needless to say , no one wants to sit by her.

Gross!!! It ges for cologne too. Last year my ds had to stay overnight in the hospital and the little girl sharing the room's dad had on such a ridiculous amount of cologne that I almost threw up. It was horrific and we both slept in the room so I couldn't escape

I hate that! At my university, there seems to be the opinion that "more is better"; I've seriously known that a group of guys has just gone by because of the "cloud" .

 

[OK!]

OMG, a woman did this at the gym a few weeks ago. She came on the track after I'd been there for about an hour or so and anyone on the track could smell her whether she was anywhere near us or not. I'm not normally sensitive to perfumes or any fragrances, really, but I had to leave after about 5 minutes and take an Allegra. I got a pounding sinus headache that quickly.

I mean, I know it was a Friday night and all, but the gym ain't happy hour, honey!

I use to work with a few ladies that would bath in perfume. They were clean, showered, and then put on a gallon of the stuff.
I worked in a nasty smelly auto factory and I could walk in an aisle 5 minutes after they had left and smell them.

I used to work with a woman who put way too much perfume on. She would spray it on so heavily and refresh it often during the day. We just figured that she couldn't smell it anymore so she would spray herself until she could smell it. Everytime I think of her I think of Opium.

She used to suffer from migranes and could not figure out why, could it have been the perfume?

Ah, the Italian shower!

I find one squirt is usually sufficient.

To many people, having people able to smell them is their goal. The biggest compliment you can give them is that you like their perfume, you smell like clean laundry, etc. This was a big surprise to me when I started DISing. Prior to that I always thought people accidently smelled too strong.

My goal has always been for people NOT to be able smell me - unless they're hugging me or something. If people are commenting on your smell everytime you walk by or enter a room it is a huge clue - you stink!

One year we were staying at the Beach Club. We were waiting for the elevator. The door opened and one of the Gabor sisters got out and we got in. Boy did that woman have the perfume on. It was the longest 2 floor ride I took.

An hour later that elevator still smelled.

OT, but this is soooooooooo true! I love the women that put on the eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick, the works...and then walk about .01mph on the treadmill so they won't mess up their makeup. EVERY day is Happy Hour for them!!!

Fragrance is supposed to be intimate. It should not be detectable more than arm's length away.

Speaking of smelling, my most recent trip to WDW definitely included people who don't know what deodorant is... I'm not sure which is worse, too much fragrance or total body stench.

Don't know which I would prefer more, the smell of over powering perfume or stale cigarette smoke on ones clothing that clearly hasn't been washed in ages? In my classroom we have plenty of stale cigarette smoke saturated clothing and parents, I'd take the perfume scent any day.

It happens at Disneyland, too. And it always makes me wonder...obviously, the people in lines for rides that smell like onions/dirty dog/dirty feet have enough $$$ to get into Disneyland, so they are most likely not homeless and/or lacking the means to shower or wash their clothes, so why the stink?

depression leads to a weakening of olfactory sensors. so sometimes, depressed women (and men) will wear "too much", but not realize it.

I think it also depends if your perfume suits your natural scent. Because other perfumes that stinks to others are smell good to others.

I'm sorry all....but you have just met my MIL.

OH my dear heavens, does that woman stink to beat the band of that damn perfume of hers. I was in my BASEMENT one day and got a STRONG wiff of her so I turned around to ask why she was there.......but she WASN'T I then proceeded up to my kitchen to ask my son if his gramma was here but I need not ask. There she stood. I asked her why she feels the need to marinate in that stuff (which stinks enough on it's own--patchouli?) and this is her response....."well, ya know I don't have a sense of smell" BUT OTHER PEOPLE DO AND YOU ONLY NEED ONE LITTLE SQUIRT.

We've been telling her this for YEARS but she continues to wear 1/2 the bottle at a time. I keep telling her that it's pretty bad that I can smell her before I can see her. Just doesn't sink in I guess.

My husband laughs as how I put on perfume, the one or two times a year I might wear it--I spray the air and walk through that-it gives just enough scent that I can smell it but isn't overpowering to anyone else .
