So much undeserved animosity. I'm having trouble understanding what you are trying to say exactly, or why you contacted me in the first place. Are you an older LLM??

I had to follow you before I could reply to your message? I feel like this might have all been a ploy to gain followers.

Garbage people wear perfume. The worst part is that if you ask any of them if they can smell each other's perfume, they always say they can't. So the only people that can smell their perfume are people that don't wear perfume. They're all monsters!

Try not wearing any perfume. 1 in 3 adults say that perfume makes them sick. So when you wear it around a group of people just think about the fact that 1 out of every 3 people you are talking to hate your perfume and wish you would leave.

Perfume is the new secondhand smoke. Trains should kick off passengers that wear too much perfume, just like they would if they were smoking a cigarette.

It makes you wonder what body part of theirs is so rotten it takes that much scent to cover up its nasty smell.

People who perfume are covering up smells so they usually can't smell how much like shit they smell mostly because they can not wipe their asses and never smell the nasty crap still stuck on their buttholes...perfume is for trash.

We used to call the liquid that drained out of the floor holes of trash dumpsters when they were emptied, "juice". So the analogy fits.

"Unscented" isn't fragrance-free. FDA says "unscented" products may still contain fragrance, added to mask other ingredients' smell, and in the US neither word has a legal definition. Strong evidence. Check any label, free: ihateperfume.com/label-decoder
