I haven’t worn cologne since Drakkar Noir in 1992
If I have to travel by public transportation and I need to decide between someone who thinks they’re using perfumes moderately or a homeless drunk with shit in their pants - it’s always the drunk. Sure shit, piss, sweat, human-grease and old substances are nasty and unpleasant smells. But those don’t cause migraine and asthma for me.
I has this experience this morning. Still haven’t recovered. Feel bad for the guy…
Instant sharp pain to the temple, visual auras immediately blur half of the vision, brain shuts off, great experience
Sad to hear you got the auras too!
Being a walking chemical warfare should be a crime against humanity
Ugh. I’ve had a teacher who wore so much perfume, it made my eyes and nose itch. But I’ve also experienced homeless people who made an entire bus unusable. It’s just both too much.
(any decently sized) city already smells like piss and shit though
I both stay very clean and use a range of scents, luckily no one’s ever complained I give them headaches and I usually get told I smell really good. I work with a lot of stinky people, but honestly sweat based BO isn’t the most common issue, it’s usually the smell of cat urine which keeps me a thousand feet away from the culprit or the familiar smell of someone who hasn’t washed their bed in a while and came to work straight out of it, I call it “sleep smell”… and that one’s starting to give me a weird complex because a really hot girl smells like it a lot and I’m starting to like a nasty smell… 😅
I can say with confidence I’ve never experienced a person who smells like cat piss, and I know the smell…and here someone is with confidence talking about people sleeping in cat piss as a known/common phenomenon… 😱🤮
i worked in a call center
middle aged lady two computers down and one row over
i could smell the cat spray strong enough to get headachs
Holy shit, that is awful.
i kinda felt bad for her because you get nose blind to this kinda thing and she likely didn’t realize it but it was awful
Yeah, true. I’m not sure who has it worse though, someone judged so harshly all the time, or the people subjected to that stench…
Of you like a nasty smell then that’s one less thing in life causing you frustration and discomfort 😉
🤢
My teenaged boys haven’t learned this lesson yet. I’ve tried telling them not to overdo the body spray/ cologne/ whatever, but they don’t seem to believe me.
Pay a girl to walk by them and go, “Oh, smells like a dead animal” to herself. A few coughs would help.
That should give your boys the heads up that they reek.
I’m pretty sure that’s what my parents did to me! Ha ha ha ha… :-(
I read a long time ago to do 1 spritz of cologne to the middle of the chest (for guys), ideally right after showering. I think the body heat and it usually being covered up by clothing helps with the overall scent. Can’t remember the details.
Also, mom told me when I was a teen, “The only person who should be able to smell your cologne is the person hugging you.” That’s always been my guide.
I do 2-3 sprays on my left wrist, dab my two wrists together, then dab my wrists on my neck. Still follows the same rules of only the person hugging you should smell your cologne.
I have no idea what’s better, but I just looked it up, and people recommend NOT rubbing it on anywhere because it can cause the fragrance to change because of heat, so just dabbing it on is fine.
That sprintz trick and the advice u were given are solid but I also wonder If it is too much to wear cologne in summer heat…
When I was younger I was told, “your cologne should be discovered, not announced.”
It can also depend on you body chemistry some colognes will smell better on someone else but maybe not you. Ive found it good to get a third party’s opinion after youve been wearing it for a couple hours so that most/all of the alcohol has evaporated and the scent has time to set in. Some sents can go really stale where others can mature quite nicely.
If you ain’t glistening, are they even listening?!

HARD disagree. Artificial scents can easily be overwhelming, and even with bad BO, I’d rather not have the cologne on top of that.
But that’s what the meme is saying
But cologne is my problem
Ohh I misunderstood I understand now yeah my sister gets insane migraines from scents like that she’s had to change jobs and stuff because of it before.
I practiced the art of hoe-bath. Wash my genitals, wash my pits and smell goes down by a lot
I was working in a situation that was hot and we had a lot of iso alcohol on hand. When you inevitably get too stanky, we would soak something like a paper towel in iso to scrub our pits and crotch. Makes you feel real warm for a bit and probably 10x my chance for ball cancer, but that would kill anything making stank.
Do NOT dip your balls in a cup of alcohol though.
I call that a 50’s wash
Because of the 50 inch
George Carlin: “armpits, asshole, crotch and teeth.” I’d add feet too, because, they nasty.
Wipe yourself down with 90% isopropyl. It kills the bacteria that makes the stench for a day or two, and wipes away any residual oils that might be rotting on your skin.
Make sure you get the worst offending areas like your pits, the back and sides of your neck, your back, and downstairs.
Be careful around the nether regions though, you are in for a very unpleasant burning sensation the more bacteria there is.
But you will smell so much better (i.e. no odor) and it feels better too.
i use aluminum deodorant mostly to prevent sweat, not to smell a certain way. i know there’s some you can get at pharmacies that might not smell, but i just get the “best” regular deodorant that stores have.
There’s also the crystal sticks. They’re very effective and don’t smell like anything. Used those for a while but had to switch, because my skin didn’t like the higher aluminum salt concentration.
I miss antiperspirants too. The non-metallic ones just don’t cut it
Helloooooooo high school PE memories of the locker room getting fogged with Axe body spray
Also the pungent smell of unwashed sweaty ass 🤢 Good ol’ days…
now listen here. my musky odor smells exactly and precisely like a beaver’s anus, crossed with bacon, which as you might recall shares a scent with vanilla. in fact it is called vanillin. then crossed with bacon. my stench has been called by seventeen heads of state, princesses and poodles, and i now begin to quote thusly, “sexilicious”. I have finished the quote. I require neither parfum nor cologne to cover any bee oh.
What’s B.O.?
Body odor
Bad BO makes me wretch.
Cologne and Perfume gives me a headache and clogs up my sinuses.
With those powers combined…
I’m physically ill from someones olfactory assault.
If I can smell a person at all from more than 3 feet away. I instantly have a negative opinion of them.
Nah,the cologne is just as much of an issue
-signed, someone very sensitive to smells
