I’ve never smelled a cologne or perfume that wasn’t utterly offensive.
I think more people should be aware how offensive a strong smell can be. There have been more than a few people who I genuinely have negative opinions of, and it basically stems from them wearing perfume or cologne.
That is because many people don’t know wtf they are doing. I usually wear two splashes of cologne and that is already plenty. I also wear rather inoffensive smells, since I prefer sweet or fresh ones. Others seem to just shower in musk
I remember there was a classroom i couldn’t enter without getting nauseous because one of the guys there doused himself in some kind of incredibly potent perfume
The stank lingered too, after a weekend the smell would be just as strong
Seriously, what the fuck is up with highschool boys in the last decade or so going bat shit crazy with the perfume??? I feel like we have reached new heights of olfactory toxic masculinity torture.
The first time I even thought about cologne was for a formal business meeting in my late twenties. The closest I got to wearing fragrances (not gonna lie, I kind of hate that term, now that I’ve heard it so often) in highschool was aftershave; I literally didn’t know a single guy who wore perfume (and very nearly no girls either), despite going to a fancy private school with a bunch of rich assholes. Times change, huh.
Why does this trigger me so much? I actively avoid teenagers and cross the street because of the smell now. And that one colleague who smells like a horrid concoction of axe body smell (kill me now) and Hugo Boss The Scent Eau de Toilette (I know what it’s called because he constantly, invariably, incessantly talks about it). I guess some especially immature adults are affected by the trend as well. Wtf.
Okay. Rant over. I’m done. Gonna go hug my cats now to recover (thank you, home office).

Olfactory nails on a chalkboard.
