The only time I have ever complained about someone's perfume was a waitress at a restaurant.  This girl must have been trying to cover some serious stank, but it completely turned me off my food.

We have a couple employees that must bath in perfume...I swear you can smell them from 100 yards.   :banghead:  

When I worked at the lab, we had a guy who used to come around every six months and certify that our balances were working within some reeeeeally small tolerance levels.  I used to absolutely hate having him come into my lab, as his cologne was pervasive enough to mess with the gas chromatography dectectors that I was using (he seemed to bathe in it).  Not a lot, but enough so I could notice (below reportable levels).  If he had walked through the hallway in the last half-hour, though, I would know.

Some perfumes bother me a lot, too...fruit scented ones aren't too bad, but many of the flowery ones are horrible.

Everyone knows that we have a little tube from our ears to our throat...but when that thing itches, there is no way to scratch it.  Ditto with the rest of the mucous membranes in a person's head.  You've never been miserable until the INSIDE of your head itches like a thousand mosquito bites...and then all those membranes start to swell up, and then hurt.  Talk about a headache!  And toothache...in EVERY tooth.

Of course, I'm never going to sue my employer, or push for laws against wearing perfume...I'm perfectly capable of simply leaving the area when someone really reeks.   :whatever:


I'm with you, Mrs S...most perfumes or men's colognes, just about knock me out. Either with the headache and throat closing or some just make me feel flat out nauseous.

I don't like the patchouli either...but the worst was back when I was in college in the early 70's and for about 10 years after when both men and women were wearing "musk", or musk-based cologne/perfume.

That stuff was just flat out nasty....

My ex mother in law couldn't put perfume on the normal way....you know...a dab here or there. She would spray a humongous cloud of the stuff...then walk through it. Her reason? By doing it that way...she never got too much on in one spot.

No....she didn't get too much on in one spot...she got too much on all over her body.... :o ::)

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

You beat me to it. I remember back in 72 we went on vacation. Turned out a whole gang of hippies were staying where we were. I asked what was that smell. My older cousin said-BO, patchouli, pot, and musk oil. I swear I have never forgotten that smell. What a great idea to have that particular smell emanating from government offices. Can't wait to go visit!

And I think these people really will be stinking up Harry Reid's Congress this summer. The weather is getting warmer/ :-)

There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as caring and sensitive because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he is willing to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he will do good with his own money— if a gun is held to his head.

Some professions request their customers do not wear scent.  Among them are,  Dentists, Doctors, Nurses and Eye Doctors. 

Smell is one of the big senses, it can bring back memory's good and bad and warn us of danger.

Some perfumes can cause migraines, and or runny eyes or nausea to others.

There are dozens of brands of no scent deodorant on the market. No scent hair spray etc.

I believe problems pop up when one has 4 or more scented products on their body then apply perfume that will combine with the other products to become noxious to others.

This is yet another case of the special few wanting the privileges of the normal many.  Like the Mothers who demand that their profoundly mentally challenged child or kid with serious behavioral disorders be "mainstreamed" in so as to disrupt the education of every other kid in the class.  But she doesn't care about the rest of those kids, as long as her Johnny feels happy every day.

In reality, those kids would be far better off in a classroom with others like them, so they can learn together and socialize with kids who have the same challenges.  Suggest that to a liberal, though, and you're just trying to "hide them away in a cage".

As for patchouli, it was used on me in a massage at a spa.  Didn't know what it was, and it smelled OK at first -kind of woodsy in a nice way.  By the time I was driving home, I was looking everywhere in the car to see what was going moldy.
