you're standing in an elevator, minding your own business, and then some fella gets in with the distinct smell of:

DO YOU SHAKE YOUR HEAD IN DISGUST OR SHAME?

SHUT IT!!!!!

There are these 2 women that come to my job who ALWAYS smell like Old Spice. I call them the "Spice Bitches". Smelling all spicy and shit, burning my fucking nose up. I don't wear scents. I just buy scented lotion. Works damn well.

whatever works for ya....i dont care.

I wear one of 3

Blue by Issey Miyaki
Crave by Calvin Klein
Gentleman by Givenchy

i frown upon people who wear too much cologne/perfume - i don't care if it's old spice or eau de doodahday.

when people who wear too much of that stuff get near me, i a) get a headache and b) find that my sinuses have swollen like balloons. i really shouldn't have to suffer for someone else's poor grooming habits.

and the WORST is when someone comes to the gym all doused in the shit. that's just mean.

I'm not as offended by it as I am of someone who just doesn't care to wear an updated haircut, male or female.

As for cologne/perfume, what's really important is that you were evening scents during evenings out. It makes no sense to were a formal evening scent to work It's often overpowering for people.

Albiet, those who were informal (all day scents) are free to were them to formal evening functions (dinner, parties, etc.)

YES it offensive when they walk by with a gallon of granny panny wafting through the air. Especialy when you grocery shopping or trying to enjoy a movie it just mess all your senses up. You forget what you was doing.

i don't like it but i rarely say anything. ireonically one o my co-workers makes a point of telling all of us how sensitive her nose is, and why we should refrain from wearing scent around her, yet the perfume SHE wears is one of the nastier smells i've encountered

I don't like any colognes or perfumes.

i don't either. BUT i have a collection of various herbal oils, lavender, peppermint, etc. i like to mix my own scents.

*ONE particular triumph i like to call eau de skunque'

I kid you not, and I had to do a double take when I saw this, the Dollar General store near me had a knockoff of Brut. The bottle even said, "fragrance inspired by Brut". Brut is like the cheapest cologne on the planet, what are you gonna save by buying a knockoff of it? 10 cents??

The cologne counter at Dillards is my weak spot, I usually end up grabbing a bottle of something new everytime I go to get a few things to wear. My medicine cabinet is filled with cologne.

Not all of em are strong, there's some real nice ones that are light and clean smelling (provided you don't drown yourself in them). Givenchy (the regular one in the red cap) is really nice, as is Zirh, and Del Mar.

My boss drowns himself in really musky spicy colognes like Opium. My eyes start watering when he comes around. You can smell it in the room even after he leaves it. Yuck.

I frown upon people in general

me too!@ and regardless of whether someone smells funny or not i try to shove them out the elevator before the doors close

i don't frown upon 'em...i'd throw upon 'em too. especially the men & women who seriously think that whatever crappy scent they have on is so good that they have to baste themselves in the shit everyday.

y'know, the people who turn an elevator into a gas chamber after standing in it for a few floors. i HATE that shit!

I only get peeved when people wear GALLONS of the stuff -- whether it's cheap or not.

I LOVE (most) scents. When they're worn in moderation, they're great.

that's one of the biggest things people don't seem to understand--a little perfume/cologne goes a long way.
