How Sweet I Smell

What’s up wth all the scented stuff these days?  The reason this comes up is because I was in my friend’s fiance’s car and we had a little war with various scents that were in it. 

Now, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy not smelling rank, but when is enough enough?  I mean, you have a different smell for your clothes (actually, multiple different smells because of detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets), the scent of your shampoo/conditioner, body wash, purfume, etc.  After awhile, is it just me, but doesn’t it give you a headache?

Granted, I am male, so I most definitely have a different perspective on this than some of you.  However, I don’t think it’s just delimited to gender.  In my house (both apt and parent’s place) there aren’t 80 different spray bottles sitting around for aroma’s.  Hell, I don’t have, and I don’t think my parents have, a bottle of even Febreeze to cover up any odors. 

It does make me curious why some people have such a devotion to smells.
