People who feel the need to over-douse in perfume, cologne or after shave. Are they follicly challenged or just "covering up"?

I think after person uses a specific scent for so long....they no longer smell it. I get onto my 17 year old son all the time for that. After he gets out of the car, his cologne smell is still in there for another trip.

I agree with Glory that you end up not smelling it on yourself if you wear it all the time. BUT, that's why, IF I wear perfume, I always spritz the same amount and then that's it for the day or evening. Doesn't seem like such a difficult concept to master, but...

I don't think they realize how sickening it is. I guess it's like if you smoke, you can't smell it on you but walk in room and everyone else can smell it.
A few years ago. a lot of older ladies were wearing Estee's Youth Dew. Boy that would knock you down. Whew.

LOL Lacey!

I remember my 5th grade teacher wearing "Aqua Velva" . Stink, stank, stunk is all I could say! He doused in it. Like Eliza said, I don't think they even know they have it on after dousing so much!! They are immune to the smell lol...

I like perfuma and mens after shave. One in particular makes me crazy! But not when someone over-douses themselves.
I used to work for a Georgio packaging place and liked the work but didnt like that you leave the building reaking of Georgio, and cant even get it out of your laundry for days.

We went to a nice restaurant last night and someone came in and sat at the next table like that. Perfumed pork chops is not very high on my list of favorites.

I think they just don't have a clue that they've put too much on!! Certain scents literally make me nauseous. I LOVE Jovan musk though....could bath in that stuff.

I can't stand the smell of cheap perfume in tight spaces. If you're over sixteen years old, there is no reason to wear patchouli oil, you smell like a walking head shop.
