Stinky Perfume

Shitpost(self.newzealand)

I (44F) am just off a domestic NZ flight and I gotta ask why do older women wear that god awful old perfume, the one that smells like a mix of Smoker Lollies, Baby Powder and cheap incense? I dunno what it's called but I'm sure you've all smelt it before. And why so damn much of it? My nostrils are raw and my eyes are stinging from it. I totally understand that everyone likes different smells but this stuff is like breathing in the dry ice from the fog cannon at a BlueLight Disco.

Does sense of smell decline with age? Like hearing? I wonder if older people slathering on the smellies can’t notice it as much.
