Men watch the cologne....

[Homicidalheathen]

Ever been on a long car trip or stuck in a cubicle with someone who wears too much? I sneezed all day from someone who would probably smell better with out the stuff anyway. I mean if your not stinky....

Ew. I have severe allergies. So I hate when people douse themselves in whatever they use excessively.

[Fierce Critter]

And before anyone can scream about how you can't be allergic to perfume...

Some of us have a pretty strong SENSITIVITY to it. And it can get our allergic reactions to kick in easier.

Gads, I can't stand cologne & perfume. I mean, I LIKE certain scents - I have a bottle of Crystalle Chanel I open and sniff once in a while. But I can't wear it and I can't be around people who do.

So many times we had to change pews at church when I was a kid and someone doused in that crap would sit down in front or back of us, or change seats at movie theaters, etc.

And being stinky has nothing to do with it. Dousing yourself in cologne to cover body odor is just two bads in one.

Sorry but someone needs to tell that to the entire arab population.

Again I understand the fact that there is no water where they come from but this is the USA, we've got plenty to spare.

I've heard Middle Eastern & North African men say that one's natural body scent is a form of personal strength... to cover it with deodorant (which is the issue, not lack of washing) would be to diminish one's manliness.

I am a cologne whore, I have about 7 or 8 different colognes depending on how I am feeling and how I want to feel ...I know its silly but I like it........so I am the one you have to move away from at church and the movies and at work I just can't help myself i think I need CA(cologne anonymuos)......*hangs his head in shame and off alone into the forrest*

[Fierce Critter]

Hey - I wish I didn't have a problem with perfumes and colognes - 'cause I LIKE them.

They just plain don't like ME. :(

Forget the long car trip. Has someone ever walked by you in a department store and you didn't even notice them until...

Whoa! Perfume overload!

And then the person's long gone, but that damn scent just stands there for like a minute while your nasal passages are closing in on you like your Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom

I am extremely sensitive to perfume/colognes (as well as most floor-cleaning grade solvents), and all it takes is being around it for a couple of seconds for the sensitivity to kick in and I have to leave. Being around it for more than a couple of minutes, and I have a pounding headache that lasts for several hours.

[unchaste]

OKay, people just need to take it easy w/ the perfume/cologne. I only put a dab on my neck & wrists & you can't smell it unless you hug me or sit very close to me. I have seen people just go insane and spritz their entire body with the stuff...these are the folks that need to go to Cologners Anonymous

When I sweat I smell like cinnamon buns so I guess I am just lucky.

[holliwood66]

yah, I put on enough that it is detectable about 4 inches away from my skin...any more than that is overkill.

Hrmm , no wonder people run for the hills as soon as i set foot into CC. Been wearing , i guess what would be called "a lot" since time immemorial. The smoke in that fine , very pristine establishment (aka the Smokey mine shaft) tends to mask scents in my experience.

*dunks his head into the pre-CC vat of Cologne* *shakes out hair*

Kind of a contradiction since i have very sensitive skin and cologne, put right onto my skin tends to be an irritant. (usually ends up on the clothing instead)
