…And I say that as a perfume-wearing non-smoker.
We all know someone who smokes, and most of them recognize that the smell doesn’t appeal to everyone, and they use things like breath mints and thorough hand-washing to minimize the impact on everyone else, which usually works. When I was visibly pregnant, literally every single smoker I walked by on the street would turn their back to me when they saw me coming. I would never have asked them to do that, it just appears to be some sort of smokers’ code.
Perfume-wearers on the other hand? Many of them don’t realize that just because a smell appeals to them doesn’t mean it appeals to everybody else, and people even leave reviews and rare perfumes lower if they don’t have enough “throw.” Bitch, perfume should be discovered, not announced. “Throw” is UNdesirable!
And don’t even get me started on the people who wear it before boarding a plane. You never need to wear perfume on a plane. There’s no reason to trap us all in with your stank-ass eau de whateverfuck.
And the woman who SPRAYED perfume sitting next to me WHILE on the plane?! I still remember you and if I see you again we’re throwing hands.

Perfume doesn’t cause cancer
absolutely not. Both are equally offensive
I suppose, once the WHO comes out and says that Chanel No. 5 is on the red list we’ll have to reconsider.
Until then, please smoke outside, it’s fucking disgusting
“Perfume wearers are even less considerate than smokers”
Kouros intensifies
I just assume anyone who wears an excessive amount of perfume is trying to cover up that they shit their pants
Perfume doesn’t stink like shit.
the only reason that smokers are considerate is because they’ve been taught, and legislated, to smoke outside etc.
No such rules apply to people who wear excessively scented products and it’s disgusting that everything around us is wafting clouds of volatile organic compounds to hide whatever stench people think they have.
I’m allergic to most perfumes. My eyes water, my nose runs and I get a choking kind of cough.
Even worse, these people wearing the new breed of whole body deodorant. I swear, I can smell them 30 ft away.
i’ve had smokers blow smoke in my face, not pay attention to where their ash flies or where their smoke goes… and most perfume doesn’t smell like shit. i’d rather snort dior sauvage than sit next to a smoker for 5 minutes
I’m not going to get a second hand perfume addiction from smelling perfume and people trying to quit using perfume won’t relapse or get shakes smelling perfume.
Some people wear way too much perfume, but I’d rather smell a strong intense fragrance than inhale someone’s second hand smoke. And this is coming from a smoker
Perfume makes my head hurt 😔
> And don’t even get me started on the people who wear it before boarding a plane
Seriously why do they do this?
Yall only smoke outside because its illegal to smoke inside
Certain perfumes cause my mum to have migraines which can make her bed ridden for days.
Living in a city where I get vape smoke blown in my face on a daily basis, tend to disagree lol
I agree with this. I’m a firm believer that when you leave a room, so should all of your smells – “good” and bad
When I smoked, this was me. I know non-smokers could smell it no matter what, but I really did try to minimize it a lot where a few coworkers who I new for a while saw me walking outside to have a smoke and where like ‘You smoke????” Little sad uplift, but it is what it is.
