there is a girl who is trying to impress me and ever time she's about to come and talk to me she "refreshes" her perfume.
perhaps she's spraying cos she doesnt like your personal aroma?

I'd rather smell good manly sweat than cheap ass cologne. As long as it's no more than a few hours old.
Oh, Hallelujah! Amen, Sister Beks.
I likes that man smell.

What people with compromised immune systems are reacting to includes a long list of toxic chemicals. Unlike the food industry, unlike any industry remotely connected to medicine, the perfume industry does not answer to ANYONE regarding carcinogens in their products, which include cleaning products in addition to perfumes, colognes, hand and body lotions, hair products, etc.
I have asthma. Perfume is a known trigger for me. They have also been known to give me migraines immediately. Not every single perfume does, but I don't feel a need to start a survey to ask which one it is that doesn't bother me.
My one question is, why do so many people feel the need to marinate in the stuff?

I use the stuff sparingly to not at all, simply because it is not really healthy to be applying all those petroleum based poison on you in high doses. Plus, someone might be allergic to certain scents. I prefer subtle scents, and natural if at all possible--even subtle scents like vanilla in small doses will do the job nicely.
What is more important is to stop bad odors at the source. Obviously, a good bath or shower can help. I have tried a few low- to no-odor tricks that cut way down on bad odors--applying crystal deodorants and coconut oil both seem to work at least as well as antibiotic-laced "deodorants" that seem to quit after just a few hours. If you are reasonably clean, a trace of perfume will then do the job--saving you big money in the meantime (the stuff is not cheap).
