    If you are unduly malodorous for reasons not related to health issues regardless of whether it is due to lack of bathing, or excessive perfumes or colognes, you can be disciplined.
    Is it just me or does anyone else find the words "unduly malodorous" quite funny.

      I'm so allergic to some scents that once when a bottle of fabreeze burst on the till next to mine I had an anaphalaxic (sp?) reaction and they had to phone an ambulance. I'm damn lucky I managed to say "FABREEZE!!" before my throat closed over.
      It's actually quite surprising how many people have serious reactions to Febreze.

      I had another friend who had issues with Zippo fuel. He once fell off a ladder because someone walking by underneath chose that moment to light a cigarette with a Zippo.

        You know, my mom taught me that if you're going to wear perfume, you spritz twice into the air and walk through it. That's IT.

        Who's teaching what to these people?
        I learned when I was young that it was a *dab* on each wrist and behind the ears. Similar principle, but different distribution method. This one might be just for guys though.

          I went through Scent Application 101 with my ex-husband. He loved to wear Polo - thought it smelled good, so he'd pull out the bottle and spray himself about 10 times. Then we'd get in the car where I'd have a choking fit. In the 7 years we were married, I was able to get him down to 2.5 sprays (He'd spray twice, wait for me to walk away, then sneak another) I never could understand why he thought he had to wear so damn much of the stuff.

          All I can figure about these folks is that they think the scent is nice, so they want to smell as much like it as possible. I've always used a dab on each wrist and behind each ear, and you pretty much have to come up and hug me to notice.

            There we are ladies and gentlemen, the ideal amount of perfume.

            The only people who notice you're wearing perfume are those that you wish to get close enough to notice. Your fragrance should never arrive ten minutes before you do.

              I've been wondering though - would a dot of aromatherapy oil have an adverse effect on those that are allergic to scents?

                It depends exactly on what part of the scent they're allergic to. I'm allergic to the chemically created ones that also show up in certain household cleansers. But natural scents tend to be okay.

                Found that out first at work a few years ago. We were standing around waiting, and all of a sudden I smelled vanilla scent. Mentioned it to the co-worker I was standing next to, and she asked "Do you like it?" I, being oblivious, said "Well, most scents give me a raging headache, and this doesn't, so yeah, I do."
                That's when she mentioned she was the one wearing it

                  Start lighting a match each time she comes by. If you're lucky, it'll latch onto one of the fumes and she'll be a human fireball! Hey hey hey! Dinner and a show!

                    Oh man, I can't even walk within 20ft of an aromatherapy store! I can use a few of them, vanilla and cinnamon leaf being two that I love, but 90% give me an allergy reaction.

                      I ran into someone like that when we were grocery shopping once. Worse yet, I was fighting off a migraine at the time, which made it a million times worse. I didn't know where it was coming from for the longest time, until I eventually found myself in the same aisle with her. I wonder how far away I was able to smell that from?

                      As bad as it was for me, I felt really sorry for whichever cashier whose line she went thru.

                        Mmmm.... vanilla is my favorite scent. Well, technically bubblegum is my favorite scent, but I challenge anyone to find that in a decent perfume.

                          Once again I have been reminded of one of my father's favorite sayings...

                          A lot of perfume is no substitute for a little soap.

                          Thank you for giving me a reminder of how uncool I thought he was until I started using the same sayings as him.

                            I'm not so much allergic to smells as, say, have an ubber sensitive nose.

                            Take my mom for example: she puts a dab on her wrists and back of her ears of perfume. Normally a good standard as its often light and only evident when a person hugs the perfume wearer.

                            I can smell that 'perfect amount' four feet away and if she's got a floral scent, its not too pretty. -- To be fair, I didn't realize WHY I often stayed away from mom while I lived with her (I thought I was just being a teenager) but once I had moved out and came to visit, it was apperant.


                            Also, just because I can tolerate scent Y today doesn't mean I'll tolerate it next month. As in I don't think its stinky, I still like it, but it just gives me a headache, nausea, etc. Is that normal?

                              I don't own any perfume. But people still Tell me I smell amazing and want to know what perfume I use? I think they are smelling whatever products that I use in my hair.

                              I do not find most scents appealing. I do not like how most of them smell of alcohol.

                                Exactly what I was going to say. Perfume should be meant for those who get close to you - not to cover up BO or "attract" someone from 10+ feet away.

                                I've had the same happen to me - I'm a light perfume wearer and I rarely stick with one scent for long, as I get bored. Mostly, I prefer using a mix of essential oils VERY sparingly on a few pulse points. But even when I don't, I've still gotten compliments, mostly, I'm assuming, due to either my hair products, or when I use massage oil from Bath and Body Works as a body moisturizer.
