I was wearing Mark Birley when a female coworker asked if she smelled gasoline or oil in the room. I sold it the next week, even if she was wrong!

SMW. A lady I work with said "someone smells amazing, but feminine, just so you know". Happily no one paid much attention to it.

well this one bears repeating when I had layered too many things a guy at my gym said "It smells like Elizabeth Taylor exploded in here!" of course this overapplication and bad layering (as it really was) is a very rare occurence!

Hi Squirrelmilk,

it happened to me the same thing wearing Knize Ten! A cooworker commented about a laundry detergent smell.

To such comments from tasteless people usually I reply: "Better to smell like laundry detergent then caproic acid (read rancid sweat)".

This stops any further comment. Guaranteed!

Hugs. W

If it's funny like that, who could be hurt! All other examples are rather tough. Thats the difference in Europe: I never get criticized, but sometimes miss a compliment!
