What's with perfume anyway?

I understand to a degree the use of the stinking stuff back before the days of indoor plumbing and personal hygiene, but why do women and even men persist in dousing themselves with sinus burning, eye watering, olfactory depriving concoctions. I always suspect that the offending individual simply forgot to shower. I'd rather be subjected to the body odor of a portugese fisherman than the fifty dollar an ounce fifi piss they call "fragrance".
I recall an interview with Richard Prior after his first trip to Africa. After riding around in a cab for two hours, with his Old Opice or whatever on, seeing some sights and smelling the sweat and b.o. of the cabbie until he could take no more he asked the translator if all Africans stank like that. The translator laughed and replied that the driver didn't want him in his cab anymore because Prior stank and wondered if all Americans smelled that offensive.

PS I used to work behind the perfume counter at a local department store. Around September-October, at least one man a day would come in to buy Tabu. Nobody ever buys the stuff, except for the occasional Gramma, so I asked a gentleman one day who it was for. His reply?..."Deer lure"....True story....

There olfactory nerve may be so shot that they cant smell it till they do splash on half a bottle.

Had to wait for the air to clear, before we could even eat.
The gene pool needs chlorine.
...to attract bees
Some flowers, to me, stink to high heaven, but still there are those bees.
I am hyper sensitive to these things, have trouble breathing if I walked through the part of the store where they have all of the stuff. But my wife has a Lavender (whatever) that I really like so this bee goes to that flower[:D]
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!

I guess one man's fragrance is another man's stench.
Nice summation of our two-party system.

A woman that can apply "Touch" by Fred Hayman properly would have me wrapped around here pinky finger for at least one night. Vanilla Musk is a close second but that's another story.
I just told him that the ride was my "down time", the only time I usually had to relax and reflect.
