She's enamored of various scents: scented candles, scented sprays, scented soap, potpourri, etc. And she absolutely loves her (I kid you not) Apple-Mango-Tango laundry detergent (Gain, I think).<br /><br />I'm officially neutral in this controversy.

The young 'uns that I know don't seem to wear cologne. <br /><br />Marlene - I agree, working in an environment like that must have been a huge relief, smell wise! Yep, I have a pet peeve with old lady perfume as well...and unfortunately, those old ladies often don't seem to have the best sense of smell since they seem to pour it on.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122952408610512684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-14143541179990225452011-09-19T15:26:48.560-04:002011-09-19T15:26:48.560-04:00When I worked for a Cancer Center, all staff were ...When I worked for a Cancer Center, all staff were instructed to abstain from wearing anything with a scent. (Perfume, deodorants, etc.) It was because a lot of the patients undergoing chemotherapy/radiation are sensitive to some of those smells. I LOVED WORKING AT THAT PLACE. I just about puke whenever I get a strong whiff of "old lady perfume" going by, and I'm not in any way immune compromised. I agree with you!!!Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14877001080913199818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-10066636698182338052011-09-19T14:50:52.722-04:002011-09-19T14:50:52.722-04:00At least with scratch n' sniff, you have to sc...At least with scratch n' sniff, you have to scratch at it to get the scent; the office would probably have a lot less people wearing stuff if you had to scratch them to smell 'em :)<br /><br />By the way Pam, I brought up your topic here during lunch today, and it was decided the worst office culprits are guys in their 20s or guys in their 50s. It makes sense, these are the 2 age groups that hit on the women here more than anyone else. :)ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-70231413328065723552011-09-19T14:42:54.498-04:002011-09-19T14:42:54.498-04:00dryheat45 - thanks for your comment.

I would imagine we'll be hearing more about people developing allergies to this stuff. <br /><br />Luis - oh, I do remember scratch and sniff stickers. At least that was a novelty item. My problem is now today everything you need in a household is made with artificial fragrance. <br /><br />Not to sound like I'm giving a plug but one scented line I do love (because it's natural and light smelling) is Sun & Earth. Their products have a light citrus smell and are made with orange oil, coconut and vegetable oil, aloe, and very little else. No animals are tested on their products.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122952408610512684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-79004106378449025192011-09-19T14:20:48.887-04:002011-09-19T14:20:48.887-04:00I'm surprised you didn't mention a very re...I'm surprised you didn't mention a very retro product in your post: scratch and sniff stickers. These were popular in the late 70's and were stickers which released various scents (fruits, bubble gum) when scratched.Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631388281199815121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-12524551606298950652011-09-19T13:42:13.580-04:002011-09-19T13:42:13.580-04:00Another post on the money, I hate the scented craz...Another post on the money, I hate the scented craze.

I don't even like it on the weekends; it's a huge pet peeve of mine. Some perfumes just smell so bad, and these people will pile it on. Do they not think that some people could be allergic and that they actually smell nice? It happens in the work environment as well which I don't understand...and I've heard stories about job candidates coming to interview at my office and knocking the hiring manager over with their fragrance. Nuts. It's just basic common sense.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122952408610512684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-24401165608128998152011-09-18T22:07:24.736-04:002011-09-18T22:07:24.736-04:00Awesome post, Pam--well said!

(By the way, for the last couple years I've been using "Mountain Spring" Tide--I prefer smelling like a mountain spring than a bottle of Downy or Fabreeze :)<br /><br />FYI, a big pet peeve of mine is getting on the bus or subway in the morning & choking on all the perfume (and cologne) of people heading downtown for work. Can't you save that stuff for the weekends? <br /><br />Anyway, as a single guy I don't worry about stuff like scented candles (or all those commercials for Glade air freshener). I don't want my place to smell like a locker room, but I'd take that over lavender or vanilla. :)ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-75634867445508709272011-09-18T16:50:58.596-04:002011-09-18T16:50:58.596-04:00You can't understand what raspberry scenting a...You can't understand what raspberry scenting adds to the value of a disposable razor?
