Splash of Brut and I'm done.

Old Spice for me .... and as it's Friday tomorrow I'll be wearing an open necked shirt with wall to wall chest hair and a glimpse of gold chain to boot ..... swish !

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

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.

No, I don't think it is; my friend applies that stuff to herself via a hose.

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)

Indeed. The scent of woman is a lovely thing. Overwhelming it with synthetic stenches is madness.

poisson and rouge

Is this an oblique reference to red herrings or a spelling mistake?

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.

Or look down k2p2's top.

Yeah, I'm sure they do. One bloke in this particular office seems to commute in from 1995. He stinks of Joop.

Sorry.

Today I am wearing Eau de Coffee & Nicotine.

It's quite spicy but manly at the same time.

that's my preferred musk, luckily for me the train i get absolutely stinks of BO everyday so when I get off I feel I smell good

[cojak]

I love perfume and I wear different ones according to my mood or the time of year (I have a lovely winter one which won't get much of an outing now until October).

[doodab]

FTFY. Medically proven too.

Never been a fan of perfume. But I now work in an overheated portacabin with around 15-20 bobs, all of whom eat curry for lunch and a couple of which have questionable hygiene. The afternoons can get pretty unbearable. I now douse my cleavage with Chanel #5 so I've got somewhere to stick my nose when it all gets too much.

Sounds like a scene from a porn film.

Oi Mich, you take it from here.

Nothing worse than people eating hot smelly food in the office
