If you were expecting a long winded rant on the damage being done by the tall grey towers of concrete that pierces the tranquil sky, I’m sorry to disappoint. The air pollution I’m referring to is the use, or rather the misuse of perfumes and colognes employed by so many people. From this point forward when I say perfume I am including cologne too, it makes for a tough read if I keep writing perfume/cologne. And I need to include the guys too as they are just as guilty of polluting the air as women are.
Perfume should be used as a light fragrance to enhance one’s aroma, not as a warning that can be smelled from miles away. Seriously now people. Do you want to be remembered as that stinky person who likes to shower in their perfume or do you want to turn heads with a surprisingly light fragrant aroma that floats in the air when passing by? I doubt anyone would choose the first reaction so why do so many people abuse their perfume.
Is it really that difficult to apply perfume? Most, if not all, bottles of perfume have the little spray pump nozzle do they not? One squirt is all you need. If that is too much then by all means don’t press the nozzle all the way down. It’s not rocket science (well, maybe developing the high tech bottle was). The next time you want to shower yourself in the stink of highly concentrated chemicals, please stop and recall my message and you too can reduce the pollution in the air.

Preach it, ma brotha! I hate the smell of perfumes and colognes, they drive my olfactory organs nuts and make me want to hurl. I'm tired of running away from people or changing seats on the train because they put too much on and I can't even be in the same vicinity as the stench.
My house is a perfume free zone. I have, to the insult of several guests who drink the stuff daily, aked them to not spray themselves before coming over. It's not just a matter of disliking the scent, when the chemicals in these bottles make you want to hurl, collapse into seizures and make you high there's something obviously noxious in that stuff to alter brain functions.
