Please, ladies and gents…just because your scent of choice is 5.99 a spray can, or 100 an ounce, less is more. I’m sick of gagging in your wake because you’ve doused yourself so liberally and thoroughly that my eyes water and I choke. I’m not sure how this gets you laid, as one needs a gas mask to get within 10 feet of you.
If I can smell you a block away, or even ten minutes after you’ve passed by, you’re wearing too much.
Take it down a notch, hmm? Some of us don’t like breathing in clouds of scent. By all means, wear a little bit. I’m scent-sensitive, but when you’re burning through multiple cans of “crap body spray” a week, then I think it’s you that has a problem, not me.
—Ah, the fresh spring air.

There should be a heading that says “another scent bitch.” I actually agree with you, bit this has been said before.
Maybe he or she likes to smell good.
I find alot of these “smelly” people are teens. In commercials they just spray away so they do the same! someone needs to put a stop on these crazy strong scents in a can!
One was fucking coated in that shit at the market Saturday. Swear I could taste it in my coffee after she passed by.
Bon, there’s a huge difference between smelling good and overpowering a 5000 sq ft area.
I was at work one day, in my office upstairs off the main salesfloor. The smell was overpowering up there, So I went down to see what was up. Some dude had LEFT about 15 minutes before. 3 hrs later the whole place still stunk of his cologne or whatever rit was.
“Perfume should be discovered, not announced.”
I like three’s quote.
It’s nice to smell good, but don’t feel you need to take on the burden of being a walking room deoderizer…it generally has the opposite effect.
Also people need to stop wearing scents at scent free places! I work at the hospital and I get angry every time I pass someone at work who thinks they don’t have to follow the rules. Some people are allergic to perfume and cologne. You might cause an asthma attack!
I see what you mean LadyS, but everywhere is a scent free place. Ever stop to think that some people wear this stuff because of their culture? Also, you can’t be “allergic” to scents. People are allergic to the compounds in the scents, and it’s usually one small thing. Besides, if they were allergic to anything that involved perfume, nobody around them could wear deodorant. That all said, I don’t think you need to drown in the stuff. It’s like everything else, all in moderation, and the few ruin it for everyone else.
I think if a place is “scent free” people should atleast avoid dosing themselves in perfume before they arrive. Obviously I’m not gonna run and buy unscented everything for my trip to the doctor, but not spraying on perfume before you go is just a sign of respect … and even if you’re not “allergic” to it, when someone is wearing so much cologne that other people can taste it, it usually leads to a rippin headache … just sayin’.
Well Elvis not everyone who wears perfume wears the whole bottle.
No Bon I agree, most people don’t .
The bitch ISN’T about them. As I said you can smell good without being able to walk into a 2 story office building for 15 minutes and completely overpowering the place with your cologne/perfume/aftershave for 3 hours after you’ve left. Too much is too much.
I don’t want people to stop wearing deoderant, just to stop people from dousing themsevles in axe or whatever it is they use! Hellakitty you said it best. Just be respectful and mindfull of other peoples sensitivities.
Yeah, I am actually allergic to Axe, it’s the emulsifiers (they are cheap and toxic) and all I have to say to the douchebags who wear it are go f— yourself. Now I’m going to have to spend the rest of the day trying desperately to breath and puking and you are still going home to your left hand.
When I was in highschool it was right around the time that Axe and all these other cheap (expensive as shit to buy, but still cheap), and it was all to common for the guys in my grades and younger to just saturate themselves with the stuff, as well as is it to “freshin” everything they owned, shoes, hats rooms, cars…..but the worste use of the stuff I saw back then, was that there were kids that saw these body sprays as a valid substitues for showing after hockey/soccer/ball games. It was helarious how these kids thought they could just mask the with half a can of old spice spray or axe,.. when as soon as they leaft the lockerroom/field house everyone else in the area/park would smell nothing but a horrid mess of hockey reek mixed with an almost as bad body spary stench! Oh to be a kid again!
IT’S SO UNATTRACTIVE…
you all make me want to vomit,
stop dousing your self in prostitot fumes..
