A friend immediately started a half-day commentary on my perfume...it got worse by the hour: "Kevin...that smells like you. I like it... RICH...." "Hmmm. That certainly is PERFUME isn't it?" "Wow! KEV-IN! I can smell your perfume way over here." (across the rather large office space). later: "You certainly don't need much of that perfume to make an impact." Finally I asked her if I had on too much scent and she said: "I like it...but I'd wear that out in the evening...to an, I don't know, outdoor event?, probably in cold weather? The office smells nice today though! Thank you!" Needless to say I wanted to go home and take a shower. I felt like a human incense burner or gigantic candle all Friday. NOT a nice feeling. I was intruding on others' space. NEVERMORE! HA! Bela: I like your comparison of loud perfume to loud music. Bela/Dawn: Friday I wore (without pre-testing at home) a rose-incense scent to work.

Sorry, I'm very slow today. Completely forgot I had mentioned my hatred of coconut in a previous comment in this thread. (At least, you can tell, I'm consistent and not making it up as I go along, LOL!) I only sit tight when there is no escape. When there is, I'm off that instant. PPS. Sorry, I'm very slow today.

People are always shocked when others have strong reactions to their perfume. ‘But but...it’s “perfume”’, they cry. Well, it may be perfume to you, but to me, since I don’t like it, it’s ‘a bad smell’. It’s like when one asks someone else to turn down their loud music. They’re always outraged. ‘It’s music.’ Sorry, to me, since I didn’t choose to hear it, it’s unwanted ‘noise’. De gustatibus... etc. PS.

I probably wouldn't have said to you what she said, but I would have had to move away. I can't stand it, and if you used all those products at the same time, you must have smelled quite strongly of coconut (lotion + bath gel + oil = a bit of an overkill). I'm afraid I couldn't have been near you for more than a couple of seconds. You cannot really 'compare' smells with words, but smells can be just as offensive as rude words.

I am a HUGE coconut fan. I had on the matching lotion and bath gel and the perfume oil. I thought I smell really good and summery, plus sexy. I went to a local hang out, and a lady I knew only from seeing her there over and over, but had never been introduced to her formly, said " What is that sicking stinky smell?" I did not say anything and a gentlemen said, " I think it is her perfume that you smell." and then I respond, 'Does it smell like coconut?" and the woman said, "Yes, if that is what you call it, I think it smells strong and heady... real stenchy". I then commented, thinking to myself how rude that was, that she did not even KNOW ME and had never talked to me prior, and her opnion was not asked for, "Well at least I bathed before I came out and did not smell of sweaty sex." She then said, "Well I would rather smell of stinky sweaty sex, then what that smells like!" I thought that to be extremely rude and pretty private of a comment to make, from both of us, truly, but I figured she deserved the comment I made, not thinking she would even respond after that at all, let alone with her come-back, so strong and offensive. Funny how my perfume was offensive to her, yet in my opinion her comment was more so offensive. Dawn in Pa I once wore this scent I loved that was made from Mango and Coconut.

It does smell a little bit like the ladies powder room at an opera.
