This is lemmy, we'll encourage you to eat beans for all scenarios

Like a glove.

I’m pretty sure it’s been a thing since cologne was invented.

FWIW I went to high school in the early-mid 00s, and during those days, it wasn’t cologne - it was Axe body spray. My friends and I would joke about there being ads in the future similar to the, “Did you work at such-and-such and develop mesothelioma? You may be entitled to compensation.” Except instead of asbestos filling your lungs and giving you a disease, it’s Axe. That crap was in the air perpetually.

It's not just young men. There are men and women of all ages who wear too much perfume or cologne. I seem to be allergic to some of them, because I will often have my sinuses suddenly clog up, get a massive headache and swelling in my throat from smelling them.

On multiple occasions at work, it's been so bad that I have to go ask a coworker to take over helping a customer because their perfume is giving me such a severe reaction. Then the perfume continues to linger for hours after they are gone.

I remember in highschool that some of the other boys seemed to think AXE body spray was an adequate substitute for showering regularly.

It's not. It just makes you smell like AXE and BO.

holy shit, cologne !!! thank you. damn

I would say it probably started sometime in the 17 or 1800s when they first started powdering their noses and throwing a ton of perfume and cologne.

When they stopped washing their assholes.

She's not down with the Dutch Oven, huh?

Silent but violent.

I hope it's a sister city of Darmstadt, Germany.

No joke, those women are just into pegging.

On? Don't you mean in?

These terms are interchangeable from a product sales perspective.

I just call them all “toxic VOC pollutants” and don’t worry about the arbitrary details.

Cologne is for drinking, they're probably spraying parfume.

No, jokes aside, cheap cologne was called "odekolonn" (VERY bastardized and estonianized pronunciation of eau de cologne) and bums would drink it. Since there's no excise tax, troinoi was apparently cheaper than vodka.

This might come as a shock, but women have a wide variety of opinion on different things, much like men do.
