perfume/cologne

so many encounter. i dont like colognes with fruity smell or flavor. i don' like it. it smells dreadful. everytime i encounter this smell, i hold on my breath. usually i recognize the smell with teens. they like it. and i hate it. id rather not wear than spraying those kind, not even for free.

I understand what you are saying. I try not to wear perfume unless I am going out in the evening or an afternoon date. I used to work in homehealth and we never wore perfume because it would upset some people or effect there alergies. I think it is something that should not be worn in the work place. I remember when my daughter was about three and she went to a friend's house to play. When she came home she smelled of Sweet Honesty by Avon. I think the girls took a bath in it because it was so over powering. I put her right into the tub and washed her from head to toe. It still lingered for awhile and the smell of that particular scent turns my stomach. I use to like Chanel #5 until it spilled some in a leather purse and after that it was no longer on my favorites list. It is really amazing how each person's sense of smell differs. The smell is never the same on any two people. I find that I only care for earthy, vanilla or fresh linen scents and ocean scents. If it is too floral or sweet then I can't tolerate it. I do find that rather than saying something to hurt someone's feelings I will try to get up wind of the person or I will leave the room.
