Deal with it.

I love fragrance! I enjoy other peoples perfumes, colognes, air freshener, house scent.

I'm not going to read all 26 pages of this but agree that the vast majority of people are using WAY TOO MUCH perfume and/or air freshener.

This is a bizarre thread. It's one of those classic DCUM "my mental illness is correct" topics that never seems to go away, and yet is always just as weird as the first time.

No, I never use air freshener. Never. At most I have fresh cut stalks of real eucalyptus (a couple of times a year, if that), or I might have hyacinths blooming early in the Spring as indoor bulbs before planting. That's it. I've never bought Febreeze in my life. the last perfume I wore was to Homecoming dance, and I recognize you as crazy.

You’re insane if you think perfume is as bad as cigarette smoke. And I’m no fan of overly strong perfumes.

DP but to some of us it's just as bad. But I love how anyone with a different opinion from yours is "insane".

Really? You think saying perfume is as bad as cigarette smoke is a sane statement?

I think cigarette smoke is preferable to air freshener. Air freshener penetrates everything -- hair, clothing, coats, backpacks. It's cheap and nasty. Cigarette smoke is pleasant by comparison.

I don’t use air freshener and l can’t think of anyone else l know who does. Who uses it?

Literally everyone but you and me. And literally every office and classroom and bus doctor's office etc. It's everywhere. Literally.

I keep air freshener in the bathrooms. I don’t like the smell of feces or flatulence.

Don't you have a bathroom fan?

Yes, I have a bathroom fan. The fan doesn’t magically make the odors of feces and flatulence disappear.

Yes, that’s actually what it’s supposed to do. Buy one that works.

Bathroom fans are not designed to magically make odors disappear. And definitely not instantly. Where did you get that idea?

Nothing makes the smell of sh** disappear instantly. Why does it need to disappear instantly? Just don't stand in the bathroom sniffing right after someone takes a dump!

Some of us have one bathroom in the family home.

Yes, we upgraded the bath fan several years ago. However, we have a small house. Air freshener is a necessity in the bathroom.

I also enjoy scented candles. DH and I enjoy perfume/cologne.

You don’t have to visit our home. We aren’t offended.
