Fruit scents are okay. Perfumey smells I've never liked at all, though I'm not allergic to any. Personally, I've been told I smell like Irish spring.

Too much perfume can be a very bad thing. One time i was in an afterhours club and i was very drunk and pulled a woman, a rareity for me. We where in the snooker room making out when i went for her tits. Damn the woman had half a bottle of Channel on them puppies. I got drunk just sniffing them. CK One on a woman is very nice. It reminds me of an ex who i still miss loads.

Can't stand the smell of perfume. I have a sensitive nose and it all smells like chemicals trying to be flowers.

Most perfumes are irritating to me, and I find that the perfume section of a typical department store is literally intolerable.

Rebecca rarely wears perfume, and when she does, she prefers to wear a light vanilla fragrance, which I like.

Most perfumes annoy me, some are OK, but I still prefer that fresh from the shower smell by far.

I find very few perfumes appealing, and then only in small amounts. Much of the crap people slather on by the pint makes me dizzy in passing.

Im a straight guy, I cant stand perfume. It usually triggers an allergic type reaction. Plus for most perfumes, I just do not like the smell. Nice smelling shampoo however, is good.

I wear a little bit of perfume--"Heavenly" by Victoria's Secret. I don't think I wear too much because I'm allergic to the stuff myself. I also don't wear it all the time, but I do wear it when I'm feeling especially feminine or when I want to attract a guy. Silly me thought guys actually liked perfume. :D

erm

I mean I like perfume. Well- it depends on the beautiful neck on which it has been placed. Mmmm necks.

Ahem.

I wear aftershave when I go out. Cool Water. Just for the smell. Shaving burn is dealt with via shaving smart.

I would rather walk through a SARS treatment wing at a Hong Kong hospital naked than spend more than a moment in the perfume and makeup section of Sears.
