Body Odor

Lilac- Your name reminds me of a lovely Lilac tree we had growing in front of our bedroom window, In the Spring the scent of that lovely tree would waft into our bedroom and then into the loungeroom. I really miss it since moving.
 

I miss the way my husband smelled, a good smell. I would hug him and breathe him in. No aftershaves; just soap and cigarettes. Loved that musky smell.

After my mother died, I wouldn't clear out her blouse closet. It smelled like her, a mommy smell. I would hold her blouses in a bunch and smell them. It took years for the smell to go away, and that's when I finally cleaned out her closet.

I rarely find people's smells offensive. Maybe once in a blue moon.

The best smells are baby breath and cat's breath and just plain cat. Love the smell of cat.
 

Working as a specialist in public education, I had to deal with members of a family commonly referred to as “the Stinkys.” No member of the family bathed; their kids smelled terrible, the mother nauseating. Parents would petition to have their children seated away from the malodorous children. Following a conference with them, the school secretary would descend on the room with a can of Lysol spray.

On the other end of the spectrum, I’ve worked with a secretary and male administrator who couldn’t get enough of a good thing. The lady used enough of a strong perfume to leave your eyes burning. The guy‘s Polo cologne preceded him into a room, and lingered long after he had departed from it… 🙀
 
Some years ago when I had to travel for work I arrived at my O'Hare international departure gate. There was a reek in the air that permeated the entire waiting area. I could not identify where the smell was coming from. My only thought was to hope I was seated far away from that person.

Of course, I got seated right next to this individual and it was a full flight. After we were in the air a while my eyes were burning so badly I went to a flight attending and asked if there was anywhere else I could sit. She new exactly why I wanted to move because the whole plane was stinking. She let me sit in one of the flight attendants seats. Strange thing is when I vacated the seat a woman moved in next to the stinky guy.
 
I used to sit next to this girl at work who had a lot of dogs, may be 5. And, they slept w/her.
I'm thinking that instead of bathing sometimes she may have just poured on the perfume to mask the smell of the dogs on her.

The smell would give me such a headache, I would have to move. My supervisor spoke to her a couple of times about it.

She finally moved on to another job and left my dept. Whew!
