I hate this trope because the attraction is to the expense rather than the artistry of the composition.

I hate colognes and perfumes, period. Even a light application is too much for me.

hard same. I can't even fathom finding a cologne or perfume scent attractive, all it inspires in me is nausea.

Me too! Or itchy eyes and a runny nose. :(

There's two songs I recently discovered and love that mention the singer being attracted to someone's perfume, and the lines always take me out of it for the same reasons. I just don't get the scent appeal.

Not just this one, but any one where the model/celebrity is glaring or scowling or pouting or just generally seeming unhappy to be there.

Have you ever seen how fandom reacts to any character that's hot and mean

Another tangent, but why are fragrance ads so fucking weird anyhow?

I always laugh at the miss dior one with natalie portman going WOT WOULD U DO 4 LUV!? what the frick does that have to do with perfume? why are you acting like a crazy person? does this fragrance make people want to drive dangerously and jump off things? I have so many questions.

You can always tell when it's going to be a perfume commercial because it's so random and weird. Those Versace cologne commercials are really funny in their weirdness.

I think what they're trying to go for is smoldering bedroom eyes

The problem is they don't actually succeed

Haha, definitely. "Try to look like your hayfever is acting up, Kit. But sexier."

I love perfume, for myself and on others. Hell, I collect perfumes. That said, I often find it OOC when a character is written as wearing fragrance. Some characters totally would, but other characters, imo, totally wouldnt. So sometimes mention of a fragrance throws me off for that reason.

Ah yes, Jummi choo. The cologne for foot fetishists.

LOL

It's better than a character's natural scent somehow smelling exactly like sandalwood or vanilla.

This lol. And perfumes and colognes hurt my sinuses too, but I still prefer reading this description than skin smelling like vanilla.

"And that special scent that was just [Character]."

Ahh yes, and their bodily fluids tasting like honey! Lmao.

I only use unscented products because of allergies and the only thing people have said I smell like is that smell when it rains. Five or so different people independently. I think it's some sort of soil fungus that makes that smell but I like it so I'm choosing not to be grossed out.

Well, i detest most perfumes and colognes, but I totally get liking a scent on someone. Just not some crazy, overdone 'all over my body' Axe-type smell.

Frankly, i have zero clue what most stuff smells like as i avoid it - talk about your instant sick headache.

Axe is like Lynx, right? Nothing worse than walking into someone's cloud of cheap body spray. At my high school the boys used to have fights with them in the hallways. It was nasty.

idk the amount of women that i wasn't doing anything untoward with and that still put their nose in my neck and went "wow u smell so good" re: my perfume says it's not that strange!
most people just pick awful smells that don't suit them

There is a very tiny number of perfumes that both fit into the narrow corridor of "I like them" and "they don't give me a massive migraine attack" so most people wearing perfume are more torture to me than anything else.

Another thing I notice is that a lot of (especially female) writers tend to make their male characters wear fragrances/smell like things most men would rarely use as a fragrance/shampoo scent etc. - like all the fruity, flowery options.

I find any artificial scent nauseating (be it perfume, cologne, heavily scented deodorant, hell even freaking air freshener). I only ever use it in stories when it's meant to be excessive and off-putting and evoke a negative reaction.
