The day they ban cologne and deodarant is the day I start carrying horse turds in my pocket as a “natural” odor.
Yes, the Obama Administration will begin proscecuting anyone who showers or uses deodorant, and especially if we use perfumes or colognes...We must obey the European “One World” smell requirements.
Clothes-pin sales will skyrocket!
Second hand stink.
There just ain’t no end to doing good.
“We’ve all been there, a restaurant, church, classroom, shopping aisle and yes a bar, when someone will walk in and the place turns to weeping eyes and sneezing.”
Actually, no, we’ve not all been there. I’m 50 years old and I’ve never had the above occur. I’ve encountered some women who were wearing way too much perfume, but never to the point of “weeping eyes and sneezing.”
Some times when a woman goes by and the perfume nearly knocks ya out ya have to wonder what the smell is she’s trying to cover up.
On the other hand, I have a sensitivity to some scents, including cigarettes, new tires (how weird is that? I stay away from the tire section in Sam's) perfumes, candles, air freshener's. I can't go in my daughter's best friend's house because they must have 10K candles burning, and the child must wear 3 different layers of perfume when she comes over here. Instant migraine for me.
Even some cleaners that I can use for a few months suddenly affect me that way - migraine. Not sniffles or sneezing, just the headache.
That's not anyone else's problem, it's mine. But I do have a rule that no scented products that affect me that way can be worn in my house - drives the teenager crazy, but too bad.
Tax perfume for the sake of the children.
Problem a lot of us ladies have is the over application of perfume. You only need a dab.
Some of them give me headaches, so I can understand when people get sick from it.
Rather than make laws, the people should solve this by kindly asking the “perfumed person” to cut it out.
I have never been as chocked by cigarette smoke as I have been from a whiff of a gallon of perfume havily applied
when she gets into our section you literally have to step away or hold your breath. a french whore would be embarrased. it's horrible. truly.
Perfume can create allergic reactions, especially if the original concentrations change over time. Its no different than the potential of any other chemical to create a reaction.
I work with a guy who wears the most terrible cologne I have ever smelled. Smells like sweet mold. The lady who works next to his office has to close her door all the time because she wants to throw up.
Even the other men I work with have commented on how bad and strong it is.
Luckily my mom and sisters were very understanding. Cigarette smoke is just annoying(now that I quit).
"The perfume you wear has a wonderful scent, but must you marinate in it?"
Cigarette smoke comes in a very distant second! There is nothing worse than the smell of cheap perfume. My throat closes up when I am in too close proximity to someone who has presumably bathed in it!
I agree. There's a woman here at work who used to take a bath in the stuff. HR needed to get involved, it was so bad.
I'm not overly sensitive, but I'd take working in a cigar bar, over working in the cube next to this chick.
time to go after Big Spritz?
