there's perfume and there's scent.
the woman in the pub tonight had obviously fallen in a bucket of scent.
i felt like pleading with the management to let her light a fag and stand over me as i scoffed my chicken and ham pie (very yum, thanks for asking) - it might have been less polluting.
the stink was amazing!
it's the sort of smell i used to get whenever i wandered round the department store make up department looking for xmas pressies (not for me, no) - an amazing blend of odours that had me gasping for the refreshing smell of the gents urinal on the last day of the isle of wight festival.
it raises the question of whether excessive perfume (sorry, scent) wearing should be banned in public.
or whether i am doomed to once again try to eat chicken and ham pie, by estee lauder.

I'm allergic to perfume too!! 
Make 'em go stand outside with their perfume. It's unsociable.
I once had a cig that had soaked up a bit of car perfume that had spilled into the packet.
It made me quit car perfume I'll tell yer.
