Reply To: What about perfume?

[Alison Anderson]

I don’t usually wear perfume, for a number of reasons.

I was often going out to parties in a home. Imagine 25-30 people in your living room, each with a different perfume. The clash of smells would be awful. Now imagine just one or two were really sensitive to perfumes. They wouldn’t be able to attend without getting their sense of smell assaulted.

The smell of perfume can also last a long time. If you need to appear male without enough time for the perfume smell to totally dissipate, you are going to have to make sure not to give yourself away by the residual smell.
