I'm not claiming to be allergic. Some people are, that's a fact. But I do find excessive scent bothersome.
I do think that back in my day, as a kid, many mothers, including my own, did not instruct daughters in proper scent application. My mother was one to go overboard, a LOT!
I'm complaining because I find, like I said, half a bottle of perfume on one person at any given time, way, way too much. I'm neither lazy nor unwashed. But your point about needing to wash, despite what certian celebs say, is well taken. Good old fashioned soap and water has always work and continues to work. And a little scent is fine. But this woman smells like the old Sears perfume counter, and that's not hyperbolye.
