An English friend calls this phenomenon “twinkle twat”, as he says it usually indicates the person hasn’t, um, washed in a while. Or at least long enough that they know they should have by now, and are trying to mask it.
Some people are just smelly even when they have washed, for various reasons. Obnoxious levels of perfume may actually be better than the alternative in some cases.
Although even unpleasant body smells don’t usually make me sneeze or my eyes itch like most perfume does…
Even the worse BO doesn’t linger like over done perfume. Both are awful when your around them, but BO leaves when they do. At worse it lingers for like 15 mins top.
Perfume can linger so strongly you can fucking literally taste it HOURS after a person is gone.
Oh some of those natural body smells do linger, I’m afraid. I pray you never need to know that as viscerally as I know it.
But still yeah I agree, artificial scent bad. But so normalised. I often think about ‘brave new world’ when I walk into a reception area or house where they’re pumping out oderiser. I’m just glad public transport doesn’t yet pipe the shit in.

Now I can’t unthink it whenever I encounter it… 😶
