As we age, our sniffers don't work as well as when we were young...and even when one is young, after a while, the sensors in your nose just stop making you aware of the "smell." Maybe that's one of the reasons older adults, male and female, wear so much of a scent.
Mike also has a tough time in certain stores....the smells....they can be overpowering. Generally, those don't bother me, but there are some stores where even I don't want to venture!
I don't wear perfume, every once in a while, some body spray, generally in a strawberry or cucumber/melon fragrance.
When we were flying back and forth across the US, years and years ago, for many years ....the perfume on some of the passengers made our flight just miserable. I still remember a gaggle of teen aged girls, preparing for landing. They took out their makeup cases, proceeded to apply make up, lipstick, perfume and hairspray! Good thing we were landing in a short while...!!!
