OH is asthmatic and anything pongy in the perfume line starts him wheezing so we are very smell neutral. However, when he's away it's different story; out comes the perfume, I love L'Occitane Verbena and I love the smell of certain joss sticks and scented candles.
I reckon anyone passing would know whether he was here or not!

I can picture the scene

Re: overkill

When I go in a public place, sometimes the perfume is really strong and makes me cough, it could be that the sense of smell isn't so good for some people and don't realise how much they put on.

It's just quite strong...like you'd expect in a launderette when many machines are going. Maybe it's needed to wash the clothes of two young children? Who knows.

Re: overkill

I've noticed some woman use far too much perfume & everywhere they go it wafts over everyone & everything. Walking down a street, in shops, in resteraunts, anywhere. Mostly it's the wrong type for the person wearing it anyway.
I only ever liked one perfume, it suited me so all my friends said, but it's no longer made. Norman Hartnells In Love & I loved it.

Re: overkill

I do wear Old Spice whenever I go out, but don't think that I put on too much, but who knows. My sense of smell is buggered so I could smell like anything for all I know!! The wife sprays herself with Chanel every morning too.

Neither of us use those scented shower gels or anything though (just a bar of Imperial Leather) so at least if we do smell strongly it is only of ONE fragrance.
