When I was going to high school in the '60s, Estée Lauder (and a lot of it) was the in thing. Then it was Shalimar and some lemony thing with the word Ten in the name. Gradually fragrance wearing became more subtle. Things change, but some people don't keep up. Maybe they don't read about allergies.
I was in Publix the other day, and there was a very elderly lady with her husband. I could smell her perfume from the next aisle. She was arm-in-arm with him. I had to think he couldn't smell its full strength.
I threw my last bottle of perfume out years ago. Too many people with allergies and a DIL who gets occasional migraines.
