STINKY PERFUME

Does anyone else hate the smell of ladies perfume?

There are very few brands that I can tolerate.  I love men's cologne and occasionally wear that if anything at all.  I get more compliments than ever and asked what I'm wearing.

I can get a headache that won't leave me from some perfume smells.  

Have you ever smelled a really old bottle of Avon perfume?  Well, that's what most ladies perfumes smell like to me, regardless of brand or cost.

Unisex brands don't bother me, but since about 20 years ago, I cannot be in the same room, car or anyplace closed up w/a woman if she's wearing perfume, or over-sprayed.

I read once that a doctor's biggest pet peeve is when people have been too sick to quickly shower, so bathe themseves in perfume in order to camouflage any body odor that probably isn't there in the first place.  It actually said the some doctors leave the room asap in order not to get a headache from the strong smells.  It read that doctors can prescribe meds w/o much of an interview just to be rid of this person, or to lack concentration of the patients chief complaint

I drove my little sister 5 blocks back to her apartment just now.  She had just sprayed herself, and I almost refused a ride for her, but definitely had to get her away from my house so drove w/my head out of the window....really.  I was lining up stories of how to explain if a cop saw me.

My aunt has this same problem.  

How common is this?  Do tell if you have this problem also.  Just wondering how many people feel the same.

Did you ever see all the stuff you get in those gift boxes at Christmas time??? OK maybe  theres not a pantie protector,or plug in or scratch and sniff,but you get where I was going with that..She bathes in it...It's NOT pleasant at all.

I wear perfume,but I don't overdo it.I were "Light Blue' by Dolce and Gabbana.It's not a heavy fragrance at all and it smells clean not flowery or anything like that.Of course I don't overdo it either...Too much of anything just ain't good.
