perfumes and colognes, men cologneWaiting on the sidewalk for my friend to come back from the bank beachside, I noticed a group of three overdressed dudes with sunglasses, sport jackets, jeans and dress shoes strutting down my way. The average person had sandals, swimsuits and loose tank tops as we were on the beach and the sun was out. These guys looked to be headed for a club or something. I took my attention elsewhere until they passed by because I had no choice. One or all of them had enough men cologne on to knock out an ox. These dudes had no idea how the stench of way to much discount cologne followed them like a cape. It was a reminder of the power perfumes and colognes have. In the wrong hands they can turn people away instead putting off a good vibe.

The person who over sprays perfumes and colognes never knows it. Until someone lets them in on the mistake it’s just a real turn off like bad breath. Those guys could have been alright but all chances of getting to know them died with the overzealous men cologne showers they took before stepping out the door.
