He said the smell is "indescribable" I think the word he's looking for is "gasoline."

Some of the fragrances out there are truly disgusting. I like to wear light floral fragrances, but there are occasions when I avoid them. I sing in our church choir, and I never wear fragrance there. There are just too many people for whom fragrance can cause respiratory problems or just a gunky frog-in-the-throat effect. Sadly, it seems that allergies are just far more prevalent than they once were.
A few years ago, very heavy women's fragrances were in style, and I had more than a few dinners ruined by someone with heavy perfume sitting near me. It's easy to lose track of how strong a scent is when you wear it regularly.

Brooks Brothers makes some sensible stuff at a surprisingly sensible price Indeed. Although not the Brooks Brothers brand, Royall Muske, which is typically stocked at Brooks Brothers, is pure gold.

I have to admit that this is getting out of hand. It used to be that I would only have to worry about an allergic reaction at the perfume isle at the drug or department store.
Now I have to be careful in the malls when the mall rats walk by.

My 12 year old son asked to purchase some Axe. Mmy husband and I refused him. These fast little 12 year old girls (who are taller than him and have breasts) are already chasing him. That’s all we need is to have twice as many chasing him. I told him he is saving himself for marriage.

I love a nice light cologne on a man, it is very alluring. But for goodness sake, don’t bathe in it.

I wish this would catch on everywhere... Especially folks that put their perfume on with a garden hose. I swear, sometimes the scent is so strong it makes my nose bleed.
Perfumes and colognes are supposed to be a hint of a scent, a mere whiff. It isn’t supposed to be put on so heavy that folks can smell it 1/2 mile away, down wind.

Hey, at least he has girls chasing him.
I couldn’t get girls to chase me away to stop bothering them.

Odors that fill hallways come mostly from boys who douse themselves in body sprays like Axe, said Mikolai Altenberg, a senior at Minneapolis South High School. He said the smell is "indescribable" and unavoidable.
It's true and it's revolting. I tell my guys that it's not attractive to smell like some middle-aged Eastern European whore.

We need a bill banning stupid politicians from wasting time and tax money on this.

One in eight Minneapolis students has asthma, and school nurses have treated students for wheezing and headaches brought on by the fragrances wafting from classmates, said Mary Heiman, a nursing service manager who runs the district's asthma program.That sounds way too high. And notice how this bill is premised on the behaviour of BOYS and accepts the presumption that one student and one nurse make.

I remember just a few years ago colognes and perfumes were becoming passe because folks got tired of all the competing odors.

As an occasional cologne wearer I utilize Kouros by Saint Laurent. It too is somewhat difficult to find and a bit pricey. It’s my special occasion cologne.

“smelly cheese eating surrender monkeys”
Some of them got the scent thing right though. A few years ago National Geographic reproduced the scent Napoleon favored. It smelled pretty good and was barely there. Citrus-lemon with some other more exotic stuff.
