I don't wear fragrance on a regular basis, and I never wear it to work. So I startled a few of my coworkers late Thursday afternoon after I decided to take a little sniff of a new fragrance sample I had received in the mail.
No one was near me at the time; it was late in the afternoon. What was there to lose in a little spritz?
Only the spritz was much more than a spritz. Think fire extinguisher.
It went on me. It went on my desk. It went on the papers I should have been reading instead of testing perfume ...
I reeked.
Too much. Too strong. Thank goodness no one had any allergic reactions, and everyone is still speaking to me. I'll stick with Ivory soap from now on.
