People get used to the stink and don't notice it after a while. Cannot be good for them, and certainly would reduce their sense of smell and taste.

+1 That's why they have those "power beads" of smells to add to the laundry -- because the original overpowering smell doesn't even reach them anymore.

Loss of the sense of smell is one of the earliest markers of dementia. FYI.

My family has a history of dementia.

I also have a bloodhound nose that is a curse; the modern world is olfactory assault. I actually don’t mind BO, though a fart will probably do me in, but all the chemicals…

So there will be upside to my eventual mental decline I guess… #gallowshumor
I guess there

Maybe he cannot wash his clothing or bathe nd he is spraying himself and his clothing with fabuloso.

Gain is also about the cheapest detergent you can get.
It must not work well at all, and they add so much perfume to it to cover up the fact the clothes are not getting as clean.

I bet it’s Gain. It should be banned.

lol at the vape comment. So what if it is vape vs cologne? Does that impact anything?

Vape is so sketch, I expect their chem to be straight up toxic. So many shady manufacturers. Cologne probably comes from a legit store, or at least Amazon

Ewww gosh yeah. Gain is one of the worst smelling ones.

Tease him about smelling like daisies. He's probably oblivious to the stink, or else he thinks people like it.

Just be happy you aren’t smelling fart - which is what I had to smell in my office today.

I share an office with a guy who only comes in occasionally.

When he does there is a strong almost floral or cleaner smell with him. I smell it from about 10 feet away.

It makes my allergies go crazy, so I usually go work in a conference room when he is there.

Is this likely a body spray or cologne, or could it be a vape residue if he was just vaping? It is so overwhelming I can’t believe it put it on hours ago at home, but who sprays cologne at work in IT?
