Used to have a neighbor who used enough perfume that we could tell if she had been in the apartments hallway about 20 minutes after she left. Ugh.

Similarly, back in high school we used to know if a certain substitute teacher was there long before we'd walk into her classroom! :sick:
 
I wonder if perhaps they just can't smell their own scent. I, unfortunately, when invaded by this strong scent first start with the runny eyes, then the sneezing and then the frenzied run to get out of the scent space or if all else fails make an attempt to mouth breathe.

The offender usually has no clue that they are offensive.

No no, there are just a couple of ladies in my building who leave their essence for 30 minutes after getting out of the elevator.
 
It's because their sense of smell is dulled by the perfume. Hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) does the same thing, although it can truly be deadly, not just figuratively deadly.

Butter Pecan Ice Cream with a Hormel Summer Sausage chaser - that'l do it. Don't ask me who I know that :shocked:
 
"Shalimar" perfume is the usual suspect when they're "marinated" in perfume. Never fails, usually a "mature" woman who wears it.

Ugh. Smells like Juicy Fruit gum gone wild . . . :lol:

Well, the next time you meet them in the elevator .... :whistle:
 
Next time you are on the elevator with the "offenders" just takeout your iphone and crank up the volume :banana:

I actually have an iPhone app that simulates certain, how shall I put this, "bodily noises". It has several settings, such as "short and sweet," "duck stepper," etc. Very sophisticated.

Pickled eggs and Red Hots from the bar will clear a stockyard......lol
 
On the other side, some sailboaters need perfume. Their presents remains in my shop loooong after they have left.
