Today, I was walking into class when the guy i like walked in and said "Gross it smells like grandma in here. What, did someone bathe in their perfume today?" I was the only girl in the room and I just bought new perfume. I thought I smelled good, apparently I didn't. FML

If you use the right amount of it, only people within a foot of you should be able to smell it.

Here's a hint: If you can smell yourself, you're wearing WAY too much perfume. Try spraying it in the air and walking through the mist. #18--It's actually been proven that people react a lot more favorably to the natural smell (like, the sweat) of older women, so you're correct.

Don´t take him seriously, but you shouldn´t overdose it. 2 - 3 sprays are enough.

Ugh gross I hate when people wear so much perfume/cologne that you can smell them when they enter the room. Two or three sprays should do it sweetie.

#18 & #21, it's also been proven that guys don't find it attractive or a turn on when people smell like their grandma. Guys typically associate floral scents and things like that with their grandmas or older generations. Although girls may love the smell of those types of perfumes, guys typically don't. It's not that they don't like it, it's just that most people don't want their g/f to smell like their grandma/mother. Although Freud may say differently....

I'm sure you're a nice person, but I had to vote YDI. Too much perfume/aftershave/etc. is just terrible.

It could have been a man's scent he was smelling. Or just the combination of many. In any case, if you didn't know it before, now you know moderation is good.

Is it possible that his grandmother uses the same perfume as you? I don't know how much you put on, so I'm not going to criticize you, but just in case, like three sprays is usually good.

YDI for spraying so much on you,

Take your perfume bottle and a match/lighter and use it as a flame thrower on the offending boy. Then perhaps he'll have occasion to post here also. "I walked into class and smelled perfume. I decided to make fun of, and embarass whoever was wearing it so I said it smelled like my grandma. The only girl in class got up and walked over to me and used the perfume as a torch and burned my face off. I thought what I said was funny - appearently it was not.

I hate people that use too much perfume. I just can't understand it. I'm allergic to most artificial scents and my sister is severely asthmatic and I just don't get how people can wear a scent on them that will close our lungs, and not feel sick themselves. Next time, be courteous. If you can smell it yourself, you're wearing too much.
