Now that we are spending more time in TV, shopping, restaurants, we are both appalled at the amount of fragrances that older people basically douse themselves with fragrances. Yesterday while sitting in a restaurant a gentleman walked by, the smell so strong that it took a few minutes before we could continue our meal. Our poor waitress, said it’s ongoing issue, at busy times, she needs to wear a mask, just to get through the day.

So as one ages, is more amount of fragrance’s used, due to their ability of lessen smell ability, or because I love this fragrance, you should love it also. Or forget they already used a scent and add more. Waitress thought it was due to hygiene.

Have not noticed this issue at with large crowds at, Disney, hotels, restaurants and shops outside of the bubble.

Maybe some just don’t realize how their fragrances affect those around them. Thoughts?

Got to leather up if you stink Scents are bothering but super bad BO is obnoxious.
