Think of all the perfume scents you personally can't stand. Now keep in mind that many people can't stand the one you choose to douse yourself in.

In a lot cases, smelling of perfume is obnoxious and rude so better make it very weak and use it very sparingly. I always have nightmare about being that person who comes through the door and makes every one's eyes water from the vapor. I think of the customers who come in and whose reek lingers long after they leave. Yuk.

I've never smelled a reeking man.. unless he reeked of armpit sweat.

Have you ever been around a church group? For some reason, church groups always seem to contain a disproportionally-high amount of both men and women (especially woman) who can be detected by anyone downwind for miles. It's like everyone is so determined to outdo each other with dress and reek factor that they bath in the stuff.

I do know what you mean... my mother doesn't know the first thing about wearing perfume. She sprays it multiple times on her clothing rather than onto her skin and she definitely reeks of it. It's terrible!!

But anyhoo.. my point is that perfume/cologne can be sooo sexy if its just there subtly. You're not supposed to be able to smell it unless you're standing really close to someone, and even then it's supposed to be something sweet and subtle that compliments your natural smell.

Omg I am so sick of that. lol. Its a little too heavy for me
I like "Pure Seduction"

I love Adidas Adrenaline. It's not flowery and smells kind of... well, sporty in a way.

I received the bubble bath and lotion for Christmas. I like the scent, but it can be overpowering if not used sparingly.

Well I like to smell good, and at the moment I wear, either:

Prada for men:



Or my current favourite Issey Miyake:


I cannot tell you how many people comment on how nice this stuff smells, and I love it too, I wear an antiperspirant too (non smelling) in case of an emergency.. But then I am the sort of person who likes to dress and smell good..

I've never been fond of perfume.

I'm in favour of always being clean and not smelling of sweat and whatnot but either most people seriously abuse perfume or my sense of smell is just too sensitive to adore anything but natural scents.

Not exactly pleasant to walk by someone and have nasal passages blocked simply due to the thickness of the perfume odor in the air.

When I go walking, there's a guy who is often riding a bike around the lake as well. That damn guy... I cringe when I see him coming. He smells sooooo strong of cologne that you can see everyone start fanning their noses and make disgusting gestures as he passes. And his overpowering scent trail lingers so long there's no escape.

True, true. I like your thinking
