    I must admit that's it's not pleasant being overwhelmed by someone else's perfume though.

    Ideally it should just be a suggestion of the perfume as one passes or leans across to read a monitor, etc.

          No, I don't think it is; my friend applies that stuff to herself via a hose.
          Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

              Is this an oblique reference to red herrings or a spelling mistake?
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                OK you ignore the science then. Delicate perfume is hugely effective.

                  it's a simply horrific smell... that said I don't know how well my choice of cologne goes over so could be just as guilty (doubt it though, poison must be the most aptly name fragrance ever)

                    You said that scent (I would have said smell personally) is a powerful sense, and I agreed with you. I didn't notice any science.
