The Scent of a... Man
This morning I got up and went for an early run. I never run in the mornings but after watching American Idol last night I felt inspired. There was this really fat guy on there and I realized that if I didn't get my butt up off the couch more often and start watching what I eat then I was going to end up looking like him.
So I am running along and all this white Ford passes me and I could literally smell cologne in the truck's wake. How do you know when you are using too much cologne? When people outside of your car can smell it while they are jogging.
I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but I have a heightened sense of smell. Sometimes if I think someone is going to smell bad I hold my breath when I pass them. Sometimes I hold it even when I don't think somoene is going to smell bad, I just don't want to smell them. However, if someone does smell good, I notice. There is nothing more attractive to me than a good smelling woman. Beautiful, Chloe Narcisse, Tommy Girl, Romance, Alfred Sung, Pure, Tresor, Amarige, Eternity, Poeme - I know these fragrances well and I love to smell them on a woman. Any woman, no matter how vanilla or plain that they are, can throw on one of these fragrances and suddenly become an exotic beauty to me.
Men, just my advice, women like a good smelling man, but no one likes a man that wears so much cologne that they can't breathe without their nostrils burning when you are near. Lighten up.

Catchy Title. And right back at you on the error of the day - "they can't breath" tee-hee. tee-hee. >:)
I think it's something learned in high school - massive cologne will somehow mask odors caused by raging hormones. It used to choke me to walk past a group of guys all swimming in Polo.
On the other hand, a guy in just the right amount of Xyrius could make me swoon.
AM, you say potato I say pototo - what's the difference?
Eddo I don't even know where to begin with this.
Ditto for women. I love a good smelling man, and I like perfume, but some women put on so much you can smell it long after they're gone! And some perfume smells bad!
I've never worn cologne. Don't know why, I guess it just never appealed to me.
I have a heightened sense of smell, too. I used to could smell people smoking in the car behind me on the highway at 60 mph.
These days it's expat women who come into tea shops drenched in perfume. It's so out of place and inappropriate.

Yeah, the over-smellers need an invite to "Over-powering Smellers Anonymous."
There is a lady where I work who wears about 1/2 lb of makeup every day to work and I used to think that she wore a bad perfume in the morning.
Turns out, she passes my cube several times a day, and the smell passes and lingers every time. Sometimes it is not bad, but sometimes it is so disruptive, what with all my cube-mates and myself gagging and coughing and falling on the floor and stuff (our eyes turn into little X's just like Mario's).
One of us finally CAUGHT her! She is a SMOKER!!!
Thus, after she has been out smoking, she atomizes herself and comes back to de-bug the office. I think the roaches really do leave, since I haven't seen one since she started parking out the side door where my cube is.
Some of us speculated previously that she might have a legitimate problem, like over-productive sweat glands. Then she might be kind of justified in drinking perfume until it comes out her pores.
We have not yet come to a consensus as to which smell would be preferable...I believe that either natural smell - the smoke or the sweat rate well above the unnatural evil that emanates from her after she takes her bath.
Right on Eddo, you are so on target, there is nothing worse than overpowering cologne. You forgot to mention Ralph Lauren Blue for Women and Kenneth Cole Black
I just read somewhere (of course, I can't remember where I read it) that women have a more heightened sense of smell than men do. So reading about how you are sensitive to smell is interesting to me. I love when my husband wears his cologne. He doesn't have to put much on at all, and I'm drooling. There was one time when a man walked past me wearing the same cologne as my husband, and I got all weak in the knees. I panted, "Are you wearing Fahrenheit?" He responded in the affirmative. I couldn't wait for my workday to be over and get home to my man. That cologne works wonders! lol
I wanted to get a billboard that tells ordinary looking men how they can become super-hotties with just a little cologne.
Not the nasty musky kind, but Chrome, Romance, Aspen, Drakkar, etc.
I ever would buy cologne for guys I was dating and they would refuse to wear it. *sigh*
Thanks for the public service announcement!
You take my breath away, Eddo! This was hilarious. You are like the Jerry Seinfeld of the blogging world..."have you ever noticed...?" would be a good Post Title for you.
Thanks for the laughs!
