I've never understood the overuse of fragrance. It is offensive, and at the risk of ruffling feathers the overuse seems to be a problem more with older women. Perhaps these folks do not realize their offense and would be shocked to know about it. Perhaps there is a "synergistic" effect when a bunch of these folks gather that makes it worse. At the risk of sounding crude it can sometimes be the equivalent of passing gas....which I am sure is not the desired effect.

I guess I'm old fashioned.....I still like to wear a SMALL amount of Old Spice. It seems to be making a comeback but I've never been a slave to fashion, and have always preferred it.

My favorite perfume for ladies has always been Jontue. I do not even know if they still make it.

I think you are correct in that we should be sensitive to those we know who have allergies and try our best not to cause them discomfort.

May kindness be the fragrance we leave behind and be remembered by....

Ah, Old Spice....just a bit is wonderful, Frank! Still my favorite male fragrance.
