Hmmmm. Do try to apply with a very light hand though (someone on the subway with heavy fragrance will send me into paroxysms of coughing).<br />Just yesterday I found a guy selling perfume on the street. A little haggling got me the big bottle of Paris for next to nada—score!<br />Love this illustration (love all of them).Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620873522996260383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815983123229218451.post-87056360499616339542009-05-22T11:29:21.036+10:002009-05-22T11:29:21.036+10:00I'd say so, Petrea.

Even if someone's wearing perfume the light way (walk through the spray) I can still smell it from far away. It's like an assault when I'm in a perfumed crowd.

I also don't drink, don't often eat meat (will eat if others cook; too lazy to prepare it myself), don't have a Starbucks habit or a heroin addiction. All this adds up to quite a bit of savings, which perhaps I can use for that ticket to Australia!popculturenerdhttp://popculturenerd.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815983123229218451.post-57033036311616553122009-05-18T17:23:00.000+10:002009-05-18T17:23:00.000+10:00Annie-L ~ Methinks he's more than just a little bi...Annie-L ~ Methinks he's more than just a little bit in love with you!

I love French fragrance too much to abstain... but I do the subtle 'spray air and walk through' in hopes that I'm not leaving fumes in my wake. When you visit someday, though, it will be my pleasure to go 'au naturale' for you.<br /><br />Margaret ~ Moisturizing is a drag. But like flossing, I do it. I find perfume the easiest part.

So if they can't smell themselves, I fear I might do the same---put on an amount I think is good but it's actually destroying other people's olfactory organs.<br /><br />I also notice that the smells I like best on other people are clean, soap smells. So I just make sure I stay clean and use nice-smelling soaps!popculturenerdhttp://popculturenerd.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
