I supposed you can say I am somewhat sensitive to smells. More specifically to strong and/or excessive amounts of perfume and cologne. This can be somewhat demonstrated in my post about what I like to call the Geico caveman phenomenon.
Long story short: it’s not necessary to detect your toxic scent from ten feet away. The point of perfume and cologne was to be a somewhat intimate sort of thing so that people should only smell it when they are in a close physical proximity. Basically, it’s an attempt to create pheromones from a bottle. Besides, you will only ward off people if you try to asphyxiate them.
On a related note, to the guys who decided to not only mess up my display of deodorants after I organized them, you also decided it would be good sport to spray all of the aerosol spray cans of Axe while I was in the next aisle cleaning and straightening. I would like to thank you for making me hack up a lung and giving me a horrible headache. I kind of liked breathing too, but I supposed I’m not entitled to that during my summer in retail.
Also, it is not necessary to spray the entire bottle to see if it is to your liking! Just take the cap off and smell the nozzle. I can assure you you can still detect the smell. And if you cannot, then spray a small amount, not enough to create noxious gas to rival bug bombs.
And if you’re are curious as to why my writing in this post is different from the usual ones, then I will say that I just finished the entire first season of The Big Bang Theory and have been watching a lot of Star Trek: The Original Series… and finished some Jane Austen recently. So the vernacular has been rubbing off on me.
