How many people can't stand the smell of heavy perfume or cologne?

I think it should be banned in public places, when someone has heavy perfume or cologne on, I get an instant headache, and get very miserable. It is not a nice thing to me at all, any other opinions?How many people can't stand the smell of heavy perfume or cologne?
i think the same too krystl....some people just put on a lil too much perfume!!!!How many people can't stand the smell of heavy perfume or cologne?
Damn, you are right. I felt like my lungs had been coated with toxins the last time I walked through the local mall. I don't want to smell anyone from over thirty feet away.
It doesn't bother me, but there are people who have allergies and get physically sick if the odors are too strong.





Also, people should not pile perfume on. Just a little touch %26amp; everyone would be happy.

LOL! It is air pollution! Call Green Peace!





Yeah, I'm one of theose who can't stand any strong smell.. most people put on too much perfume or strong perfume because they can't smell more subtle ones, or because they have B.O.





But it's not much better than B.O. if the perfume is strong. It just becomes a different kind of B.O.





Gas masks please!!
its the word HEAVY that hits the mark.





everyone has their own scent, like babies for instance (too bad more people don't have that baby scent) and everyone (or nearly everyone) wears their own perfume or cologne to go with them.





if these scents are used in a reasonable fashion, no one should have a problem with it. But when people spray on so much they they themselves can smell it wherever they go, it ruins it for everyone!





that happened in my office, one person didn't know how to wear it properly and a new office rule was applied that no one was allowed to wear it anymore, light or heavy
Dear Lord..do I EVER agree with you! There are some ';scents'; that actually make me nauseous...


Where I used to work (a high end furniture store)..after Christmas we used to DREAD...we called it the Perfume Parade...EVERY single woman in the city who got perfume (most often the powder and the lotion and the soap,etc, etc., etc) would come in to the store REEKING of the scent they apparently felt compelled for some UNKNOWN reason to wear ALL of the lotion, powder, perfume, and GO SHOPPING...They would ACTUALLY leave ';scent trails';...I have given customers over to other salespeople because their perfume/cologne was so overwhelming I couldn't stand to smell it...we even had little ';contests'; among ourselves (';guess that scent';) and then we would ask the patron what it was they were wearing...(we would keep score in our offices!)...so...if someone does that to YOU...it just might be a clue YOU are wearing too much!
I HATE it!!! No one should be able to smell you from ten feet away. Ever. Some people have bad allerigies to that crap, too...Ever get caught in an elevator with someone wearing, say, half a gallon of Giorgio? Ugh!
Your right I can't stand that stuff either it makes me want to scream like WHY WOULD YOU POUR THE ENTIRE BOTTLE ON!!!!!!!!!! This just happened this past weekend w/ my BF, and he said he only put a splash on b/c he knows how i get. I was like NO you didn't b/c if you did i wouldn't be all stuffed up and my nose wouldn't be irritated right now. But I do agree I really can't stand that!
Sadly even though I AGREE THAT HEAVY FRAGRANCES ARE HORRIBLE TO BARE, I HAVE TO SAY THAT ONCE YOU START MAKING LAWS ON EVERY LITTLE THING JUST CAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT AND HAVE NO COMMON SENCE THAT IT WILL BITE YOU IN THE A SS. ONE OF THESE DAYS IT WILL BE TO THE POINT THAT THEY WILL ACTUALLY LEGISLATE WHAT HOUR'S ARE FOR EATING. TO MAKE PEOPLE LOSE WEIGHT. OR TO SAVE ON FOOD COSTS. IT IS ALL THE SAME THING. PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO WARE WHAT THEY WANT EVEN IF THEY HAVE NO COMMON SENCE OR COMMON COURTESY. CAUSE DIDN'T YOU KNOW IT ISN'T VERRY COMMON ANYMORE!!





What ever happened to manners? It seems like there is just a general lack of manners anymore. No please or thank you said, rarely someone bothers to hold the door open for you, and such foul language. What is happening? Does it really take that much effort that people cannot be polite and courteous? People lack driving manners, eating manners, and just manners in general.





Growing up my parents taught me manners and made them a part of my everyday life. I make sure to always say please and thank you and I will always hold the door open for someone who is behind me. I do not do it because I feel obligated to; I do it because I feel it is the right thing.





During high school, one the organizations I was in, there was about 15 members in it, and I was disgusted at the lack of manners. So, I started to say please and thank you for others when they would ask a favor or someone would do something nice for someone, and once they heard me say it, they would say it too. People would walk in the room and if someone was in their way they would just walk into them, they would not say excuse me. In addition, if someone accidentally bumped into you they would not say, ';Excuse me'; or ';I'm sorry.'; I thought it was very rude. At one point I was so upset with the lack of manners, I brought in kids book I had at home on manners and read it to them one day. I did end up with the nickname ';where are you manners?'; but people started to be more polite towards each other.





Even in the media, on talk shows, people are constantly interrupting each other or bashing others. If you don't like someone that's fine, but there is no need to be so rude about it. People have different opinions and that is okay; it is a part of life, but you don't have to get mean and rude about it. It is healthy to have a good debate, but when people start to get personal and attack others, that is just out of hand.





Eating manners; the one that bothers me the most is cell phone etiquette, when you hear someone's cell phone ring loud in clear in a restaurant and they answer it and have a loud conversation. Can you say rude? Please be courteous of everyone around you who might like to enjoy a nice dinner without overhearing someone else's phone conversation. Just the lack of general manner while eating, elbows on the table, talking with your mouth full, when did these things become acceptable?





Manners while driving - this is a pet peeve of mine, because a lot of the lack of manners while driving can jeopardize your safety and the safety of others. People are constantly tailgating others, which can cause accidents if someone has to stop suddenly. The majority of the times this happens, people are following the speed limit and others just seem to be in a rush. Have some respect; you are not the only one on the road who has to get somewhere. It is very similar for cutting people off too; some people just do not pay attention and others are in a rush. There are driving laws for a reason.





Foul language also really bothers me - the use of the ';F-bomb'; more than anything else does. It is just a rude word, yet people use it all the time, and somehow is has multiple meanings; it can be used as a verb or an adjective. The word just has a vulgar sound to it, it does not sound very nice, and it is used in many rude ways. Many other words that could replace the ';F-bomb'; sound better and not near as vulgar. It just does not sound very nice or professional.





We should always treat others with the utmost respect. Say please, thank you, and excuse me when necessary. Hold the door open if someone is right behind you. When you are driving, don't tailgate, and there is no need to cut anyone off. When you are eating, put your napkin on your lap, keep your elbows off the table, and don't talk with your mouth full. Cut back on foul language, it's not that hard. These are all examples of simple manners. You don't have to go out of your way to do any of these things. It is just common courtesy. People get mad when others are rude to them, yet they are also rude themselves. Simple solution: mind your manners, think before you speak, remember there are other people around you.





Sometimes the lack of manners makes me wonder if etiquette classes should be mandatory in schools. Not everyone has perfect manners, and that is okay, but everyone can remember to say things like ';please,'; ';thank you,'; and ';excuse me.'; Please, just remember to be courteous to those around you and mind your manners. Thank you.
