Guys: do you like perfume?

Well good for you, I'm glad you're living the life you enjoy.

Maybe you should consider that people are just lighthearted sometimes, especially when talking about trivilialities. You seem to have missed a nuanced element of conversation. I offered up personal information in a jokey manner to show that I was engaging with you. Humans sometimes do these little things to ease communcation, but some find this difficult to grasp. By making a joke which implied that "sometimes I smell!", the intention was to show humility and that my previous comment, which didn't quite match your opinion, was not a threat to you.

It seems crazy to even break down conversation in this way because for most, it is just a given. It's something we do subconsciously and pick up on subconsciously. It's only when someone gets some wild idea about what you've said you stop to break it down. It's interesting.

 

I just wanted to say that some perfumes are to strong and some really just stink, and then there are the ones that make me just want to crawl all up inside the person wearing them. A person should have to get close to someone to be able to smell them.

 

qft

 

Hate perfume.

 

If you're close enough to me to smell my perfume, the very rare occasions I wear it, you are likely risking a sexual harassment lawsuit. It's really hard to find something that doesn't clash with my body chemistry terribly and what I use was discontinued 5 years ago (if that gives you any indication of how often I wear the stuff, lol). Eventually it'll likely be just deodorant. I'm well aware of how bad this stuff is for me, but as long as I don't bother others with my smell, good or otherwise, I'm alright. Don't wanna live forever anyway.

 

Is that a challenge?

:sunny:

 

I don't wear perfumes, mostly because I just don't think about such things, or ever feel inclined to spend money on it. An ex boyfriend gave me some really nice solid perfume in tiny metal tins once.. and I loved the smell of those.. But I tended just to smell the tin from time to time, for my own benefit. Haha.

I don't care what other people do, except when you pass someone in the street and then you can smell where they've been for the next 30+ metres! Or occasionally teenage girls start spraying cheap body sprays on trains.. that really bothers me.

 

I agree.

 

you can give people an Asthma attack with perfume. In fact one that may be life threatening.. People should be forewarned there are people in the world with allergies and asthma. one you stinky people is going to be headed for a lawsuit you send someones child into an asthma attack. people get sued for dumber shit than that. Dont think its not possible.

 

If it smells good on a lady then hell yeah.

 

I love being able to smell a woman when she walks by, especially if shes a babe I really like it.

 

I don't like being vomited on.

 

If I have to get close enough to someone to risk a lawsuit over it, then chances are they aren't wearing enough perfume to bother me too much.

It's when people think they are naturally so disgusting smelling that they feel they need to bathe in fucking perfume that the problems start.

 

yeah, because soap, shampoo, toothpaste and medicine are all on the par with perfume. this is a retarded post, i agree with the other guy.

 

It's not about being "on par". The guy said "chemicals". That could mean anything from peroxide to table salt, and the guy was claiming that anyone who put any chemical on their body was "really really cracked." And I'm the retard?

I was picking up on a common misunderstanding of what the word "chemical" means. It seems people are using it increasingly to just mean "products I think are bad".

 

ah, yessss...i smell the perfume of brimstone!

what i pulled this thing up for...i used to work with a woman who doused herself with 'oil based perfumes' (her description, as if that was supposed to explain why she smelled like a damn candle shop with scratch n sniff magazines burning in it). we called her 'the breeze'. when she passed, the air turned thick with oie de cheep cooloogne...and it was not a good smell. reminded me of jersey and raritan plaza with their 'cherry, jello, juicy fruit' cover smells for the oil refineries. a hint of a good smell...a classy musk is a good one, or a musk oil that brings out the natural scents in a woman's clean body....is wonderful. a dousing for what seems to be the most common reason...should be handled forcibly by the EPA (Exfoliate Pussy and Ass).
