Why?

Well, when I was in college, we had an elevator that I had to ride up to the 10th floor. Being only 5'1", and on a hot summer day on a crowded elevator, let me tell YOU just how bad some of these people stink! Oy! If it wasn't the lack of deodorant, it was the overdose of cologne/perfume. OR worse- Patchouli. And if it was Patchouli, odds are it was some hippy kid with dredlocks who also needed to bathe.

There was one exception- this cute girl we nicknamed "The girl who smells good" cuz she wore some kind of Vanilla scented stuff. Even the teacher referred to her by that nickname. Heh- he was such a perv too.

My grandmother used to wear TONS of perfume. Not good stuff either- it was that 99% alcohol crap from Avon. I was afraid to light a match around her for fear it would ignite the fumes!

I bought my Fiance some of that Jessica Simpson body spray for Xmas. It smells like cupcakes!! And if you read the label- it's edible!! So it smells good AND can be licked off!!

Kryptonite.

My Kryptonite is burning sage. The first time I encountered it in an enclosed area was about 5 years ago. My lungs suddenly went wonky and I couldn't breathe until I left the house. It was horrible.

Tuna and/or canned Cat Food.

On a side note: For any virginal males out there who're wondering just what it does smell like at "that time of the month", Do the following experiment- take the bloody juice from a raw steak, heat it or spray it with really hot steaming water. Now smell the steam!!

I use a french vanilla body spray as a form of olfactory confusion for confined quarters (and also because I don't know where to find a dark chocolate one) because, if you saw me, it would be the complete opposite of what I should smell like.

I've never steamed blood (only boiled it), but "the smell" has a much more... metallic... scent to it than I imagine steamed blood would.

That's not what I meant Chance, lol.
I meant in general perfume should enhance not over power.
And since I have never experienced someone saying "oh it's that time of the month for you" I would really have no clue what scent enhances the mensus scent, lol.

Oh Zuzu, I loooooooooove Jazz cologne it drives me wild. I am such a child of the 80's.

If you smell like Tuna or canned cat food you have a problem, lol.
And can I say ewwww,lol.

Der. Hippies.

maybe that's it, all the free love and everything

Cut your hair, draft dodger!

Watch it, you'll catch you death a cold sitting in that draft.

You say people gonna die?

I still get a kick out of seeing boxes of "scented" feminine hygene products. Just who the hell is smelling it??? "Gee Mrs. Jones, you smell just like Spring Breeze!"

I was just going to post how repulsed I am by Patchouli, it makes me ill and smells horrid. I don't understand how anyone can like that smell lol. There is a wanna-be hippy area around where I live and they don't bathe on a consistant basis nor use deoderant, they just pour Patchouli on them and go out. It turns my stomach

Mrs Marcos really likes when I wear Tommy Bahama cologne. It has a manly sandalwood scent. She doesn't care for fruity-smelling colognes.

Anyway, I find that one good spray before I put on a shirt is plenty.

What I've begun finding obnoxious is 13-14 year old boys wearing GALLONS of that Axe stuff. Their advertising really works well.
