Is it more courteous to tell them that they stink or just hold your nose and say peeee-ewww? Or perhaps avoid public gatherings?

Perhaps tell an usher so he can deliver the bad news? I think writing it here is the best way. They will read it and change their ways. It has only happened to me twice in my eight years here in The Villages, so for me it isn't a common or reocurring problem.

CFrance. Wearing too much perfume is what my grandmother called a French bath.
You can write it here all you want but if they are not members of TOTV they will not see it, and if they are members of TOTV and read it, they will say that's not me because I only use a little bit of perfume.

I have had people pass me on the street and in stores that cause me to gag because of the perfume overload.
