There's a girl sitting next to me and she's killing me.
My eyes are tearing up from the stuff she's wearing.
And I was having such a good day... new Yui Av, job promotion opened up, got an extra day off this week.
*gag*

Earlier today, my little boy found a bottle of perfume in a box of old junk in our garage. He spilled it all over the floor and on himself, now he and I both smell like we were ambushed by a throng of old ladies.

It's the Bush years, and back to Victorian. Deodarant is as expensive as pads/tampons, god damn it, and I will tell you one thing! We are NOT going back to rags! PERFUME GALORE. You guys should try some when riding the subway!

Can't stand the stuff personally. though I might if most of it didn't give me a headache. Just a little soft sented soap, and deoderant and I'm good to go.

My brother's afternoon ritual is to come home from school, take a gnarly dump, spray air neutralizer, spray air freshener on top of it, spray himself with cologne at least 4 times before leaving the bathroom and the entire upstairs of the house is olfactorily fucked up for several hours therafter.

Deodorant is expensive so douse yourself with perfume?
I'm so confused.
Lucky, Her, oddly most colognes don't bother me. I think it's the lack of floral tones. Those are what really make me retch when poured on by some olfactoraly challenged woman. (not always figuratively, either. *shudder*)

I feel for everyone. 
My eyes swell and bleed from certain Calvin Klein fragrances. Others just make me want to vomit (some fragrances literally make me sick). I can only wear a few types of perfume; very soft, powdery scents and I don't bathe in them. I'm a wimp.
And Charley, I don't even want to know about the tampon/cologne connection... Ouch!

Might I introduce you to the Diva Cup? Love it, have not been buying much in the way of tampons ever ever since trying it. There are one or two long threads in the "How To" forum singing the praises of the Diva Cup and its sister, the Keeper.

Ladies, we have options!!!

Nah, I think you just haven't noticed it before now. (Or if you have you've written it off.) This has been building more and more for as long as I can remember. It seems people, (not just women,) have forgotten that their scents, either body odors or store bought, can be offensive to others.
Being in the medical field my nose has become acustomed to bad smells but I still find myself having to stand upwind of people more and more often. (I can give you some horror stories from riding on public trans. but they would turn your stomach.)

History, love. They used to douse themselves to hide the stench. Quite frankly, in the shops I go to, DEODERANT IS as expensive as perfume. No need to be confused if you studied, dear.

(ok, so not going to bed quite yet
Razor blades? What are those? Oh yeah, those throw away things those wimps in the cities use right? (Believe it or not I really do use a straight razor. One my father gave me when I started shaving because like him I can't stand electrics.)

Condescend much, sweets?
Yes, yes, I got the history aspect. It was suggestion of returning to that folly that I found amusing.
We must shop in very different stores, either that or Canadian pricing as vastly different from American. On the other hand, I don't wear perfume so the price for it could've gone down quite a bit & I'd have no idea.

Blokes are just as bad..mostly teenage lads it must be said but their smell lingers long after they do...in fact just the other day a carful went past with the window down and i could smell their aftershaves on the street!!!!!!
old ladies with anais anais on kill me...my mother in laws sister is one of them..her perfume makes me want to gag the moment she enters a room -urgh.
I hate floral and musky perfumes, light and fresh for me and i only put a drop on now and then.
too much is definitely not good..anditmust be dammned expensive *L*

Sometimes strong perfume is very erotic. But I admit it is kind of aggressive and invasive. On the right person, it feels like they're assaulting you, which ain't always a nasty feeling.
I've had too many occasions in my life where I've consciously hated a strong perfume and unconsciously been turned on by it, to make sweeping statements about whether I like it or hate any more.
But yeah, it's a bit like hearing shouting in a public library when you smell it in a public place, particularly a restaurant.
