I can't stand when people bathe themselves in cologne/perfume. You don't need that much! I shouldn't be able to smell you from another room, and the smell shouldn't linger in rooms you haven't even been in!
I remember when my uni classes had me riding the buss at the same time as all the kids going to their upper secondary school next to the university. A buss half full of 17 year old gals each wearing way to much sickly sweet fruity perfume, and half full of 17 year old guys drenched in body spray... I would get so nauseous.
oh yeah that's rough, a few guys i've walked past before you can smell like 5 foot away. It's rough when you get blasted downwind too or get a taxi and it's super pungent.
My partner is like that, especially with scents, so we use only scent-free products for everything and try to keep perfume exposure to a minimum. It's had the side effect of making me sensitive to smell too
I have a really sensitive sense of smell that makes me get overwhelmed and overstimulated really easy, I hate when people do this shit. like I can get overstimulated going down the spices isle in a shop, let alone extremely overpowering artificial scents
I have to complain to my cousin any time we go to somewhere special that he needs to stop suffocating everyone in the car. I think he's gotten better about it.
I generally don't have a good sense of smell (like, I cannot smell BO at all), but chemical smells like that are something I'm sensitive to.
I don't wear it anymore but when I did, I use one spritz on each wrist and touch my wrists to other pulse points (just behind ears and neck for me). Body heat will enhance the potency of the fragrance so a little bit goes a long way when done like this
