Sudden exhibitionism reflects the anxiety about getting old.
On the other hand, I think what is mentioned above is the product of solid research.
Ping!
There is another and very likely possibility..... the woman with too much perfume stinks
Regardless ... it’s inconsiderate of others to wear too much perfume, and in many cases, to wear any at all.
When you are dining, sitting in close proximity and many other occasions, just don’t wear any.
Does this apply to the youth sporting the flashy ghetto look and using gallons of stinky cologne and using body washes like Axe? From what I have observed, it does.
Great, now we have more ‘symptoms’ of depression to sell more happy pills.

A now departed buddy of mine would actually sniff (discretely) a woman who sat near him at a bar after work. When he first met my wife and she sat between us at the bar he sniffed her and asked if she was wearing Youth Dew.

Personally, I love walking outside by a woman or having her walk by me and having her perfume carry in the wind. It’s not enough exposure to be overwhelmed. It’s a nice random treat.
My daughter and her friends would spray the perfume in front of them count to five and walk through the mist. It was never overpowering on them. They learned that trick reading endless girly magazines. It works quite nice. I guarantee you none of those bubbly happy girls were depressed.
Whoa! Then that woman who got on the elevator two weeks ago in the hotel in Atlanta should be on a suicide watch.
