haha Don't you hate that? My mom used to put on so much perfume before going to church that we nearly died in the car!

I don't like the perfume sample thingy's that they put into magazines. There is like four different types in the magazine and mixed together they stink. Plus who really wants to rub a magazine against their skin to see what a perfume smells like.

Yeah, there are much better reasons to rub a magazine against their skin.

ugh i know what you mean. I am one of those people who get big headaches from too much perfume/calogne.

If i wear calgone i usually just spray it once into the air and walk through it. Makes me smell good for those people that get close enough to smell it, and those are the only people i am really doing it for.

you can also order the magazines without the perfume if it bugs you or gives you headaches like it does to me.

Pretty much the only scent that goes on my body is "Old Spice: Pure Sport" and there is a gucci cologne I like from time to time at a formal event. Besides that, most of the time perfume or cologne is rather gross, especially considering it's origin. "Hey I didnt' take a bath today....Aha! I'll just put this good smelling stuff all over and no one will notice I really smell like rotting fish!"

Although, there is something to be said about a tasteful amount of perfume/cologne, since scent is one of the best memory envokers. If I smell the only perfume my GF wears, then I immediatly think about her.

I totally know what you mean! Why do old people all choose that disgusting "I'm covering up the rotting smell from my dying body" Perfume? I hate that stuff, it reminds me of a masoluem.

I usually do hold my breath.

Old people do it so you can't smell their pee. Trust me... you're better off suffocating.

I said to a guy at work once: Nice cologne. Must you marinade in it?

He just blinked at me a couple times and walked away.

I'm addicted to expensive (bought at cheap prices) colognes and perfumes..but it's all in the application..you shouldn't wear so much that it preceeds you when entering a room, but when someone May get just a hint of it about a minute after you walk past them....I am an air sprayer as well..spray the air and twirl around in it..also-behind the knees,nape of neck and wrists..the usual places for application.
