cologne wars (work, interest, office, best)

[20yrsinBranson]

what is the deal with people who think that, to smell good, you have to drench yourself in your cologne/perfume/aftershave?

There are two people here at work (both of them upper management, unfortunately), on a woman and one a man and I swear you can smell them coming for 100 yards. What is REALLY interesting is when they are in a meeting together! Talk about stench. *yes* they are both nice fragrances, but there is WAY WAY too much of a good thing happening here and when they are both coming at you full tilt, it is really almost stomach turning.

Fortunately, for me, both of them are far-removed from my work space (whew!) but I sure feel sorry for the folk who are forced to smell either - both of them day in and day out.

Personally, I find "no fragrance" the very best fragrance of all when working in close quarters in an office environment. I wonder if their senses are just deadened by the constant smell, or they simply do not care that they stink to high heaven! LOL

Or are they trying to mask some other oder.

I can't understand it either. If you need that much cologne, you might as well take a good long bath!

I sympathize. Some of us are smell sensitive. I get headaches from too much perfume or cigarette smoke.

I think that some people have been wearing their cologne for so long that they are desnsitized to it.
