I used to use the "one spritz and walk" technique and still got called into HR because a co-worker complained. And it was Eau de toilette, not even perfume!
Anyway, I blame the spray bottles. I don't bother with scent these days, but after being reprimanded I switched to putting some on my finger and dabbing that behind my ears if I was going out -- but never at work!
There was a time in my 20s when I wore Tatiana by Diane von Furstenberg and must have had 10 strangers stop me to ask the name of it. Which must have also meant I was wearing too much if people sitting next to me on the bus or in line could smell it.
My ex should have been a parfumier because he recognized a ton of brands and would guess what a waitresses or the like was wearing. Not the reason we divorced, but still.
