My rule is: if it makes my contact lenses itch, you’re wearing too much.
And that’s happened.

As a mother of a 2 yo I have to say that I’d rather have a wiff of dirty diapers than too much perfume.

Umm, why we are on this- hey Mom, change those diapers? And, put the dirty diaper someplace where it doesn’t smell too much and NOT just dump it on the damn street. :mad:

Do men find this sexy? I mean, why do people douse themselves in this stuff? Why is this such a huge industry? Someone must like it. I’m just not sure who, exactly.

It can be nice when the only time you smell it is when you give your girl a hug. Generally, don’t lie it at all. My girlfriend thankfully hates it.
And the worst is when you kiss a girl’s neck and you get that bitter nasty taste of perfume. Bleeech!

I think he’s talking about people who change diapers and just leave the dirty diaper wherever they happened to be (you know, counter at McDonalds’s, table in cafeteria at the Zoo, parking lot, wherever).

Your girlfriend? I thought you were female…opps sorry.

She is. It’s been known to happen.

It goes the same way with every thread discussing perfumes. Everyone who wears perfume always assumes that THEY couldn’t possibly be scent offenders, because everyone compliments them on THEIR perfume. There doesn’t seem to be a way to get through to people that if you use perfume in public, the probability is very high that you are offending people. Not everyone, but someone, every time you put it on. You will encounter at least one person who is either:
- allergic
- asthmatic
- sensitive to scents
- doesn’t like your particular brand of stinkum

Why are you assuming that all perfume wearers are all dense and/or delusional? I’ve known people who don’t know the meaning of moderation when it comes to perfume, but I’ve also known plenty of people who manage to wear it tastefully. Not everyone wears perfume like they’ve got a head cold. Sometimes people wear perfume I don’t like, but then again sometimes people wear shoes I don’t like. Life goes on.
I do agree on the “distance of the complimenter” rule - the people complimenting you should be close enough for a hug or a kiss.
I worry about this, actually. I’ve been wearing the same perfume for quite a while, and I don’t smell it anymore. I wear the same amount I did when I first got it, so I’m hoping it’s not overpowering.
The thing that made me worry was that I was at a store once and the man helping me (standing 3-4 feet away) complimented me on my perfume. Maybe he just has a good sense of smell, but that distance seems a bit too far for someone to be able to pick it up.
