Question

Well whenever i put some perfume on ... when ever people walk pass me in the street they sniff... i am very sensitive when people sniff near me and i know its sounds stupid...... =[ but ... im mostly scared of putting perfume on just in case it makes people sniff near me.... :(

Answer 1

It's probably a matter of putting on too much perfume. If it is that strong of odor that makes people blatantly smell the air then it is on too strong. Perfume/cologne should be subtle and only noticeable from a close range, and even then should not be overpowering.

I would suggest putting less on or looking into a different scent that might not be as strong.

Make no mistake, I love perfume, but hate it when I can smell someone if I merely walk by them.

Answer 2

It sounds like you're putting way too much on. Here are some easy tips as to how to put it on without offending other people, or causing someone to sneeze or have a migraine.
You can spray your perfume in front of you and then walk through it.
Or you can put your perfume only on your pressure pulse points. Like behind your knees and elbows. Or right on your wrist or behind your ear. One spray on your wrist and then rub your wrist together, that should be fine. You'll smell like your perfume with out over doing it, and strangers won't sniff when they walk pass you.
Also remember just because it smell good in the bottle that doesn't mean it smells good on you. Always get a second opinion as to if the perfume smells good on you too.
Good luck.

You only need a spritz on the neck. You don't have to cover your whole body. Just a light scent is all that is needed. I sniff too when someone bathes in the stuff.

Answer 4

you're probably putting too much on - less is more with perfume. put one spritz on your wrist, rub your wrists together and then rub both wrists on your neck just below your ears.

scents smell different on different people - it might just be that it smells fine in the bottle, but doesn't work with your skin. my friend wears dior pure poison which smells gorgeous on her, but absolutely foul on me. but by the same token i wear perfumes by ghost, which gets a good reaction from guys (it upsets my ex greatly when i wear it! he complains it still "does things" to him...), but it just doesn't smell quite right on my friend.

you can probably tell by the reaction of strangers whether it's a pleasant or unpleasant smell from their faces. it's either so good they have to get another sniff or they're wondering what that smell is.....

Answer 5

You've answered your own question.. Don't wear so much or use a lighter fragrance. Perhaps you've been overdoing the squirting., or maybe they think you smell nice.

Answer 6

Don't put on so much or where a lighter scent.

Answer 7

hahaha, I don't know if this question was intended to be funny or serious but it made me spray orange juice all over my brother so thanks for the laugh!

Answer 8

Then don't put it on!
