Why do my pants smell like perfume when I leave a restaurant seat? Are you spraying your face, or your crotch?

So here's a little riddle. Why, after I leave restaurants, do my pants almost always smell like perfume? Do you know? 'Cause I don't. (But I have a guess.)

I go out to restaurants, and I would say easily eight times out of ten, when I get home, change my clothes, and decide whether they are going to get temporarily aired out (I hang my clothes on a drying rack when I get home) and then later re-hung or folded to wear again, or put in the laundry hamper, I notice that my pants always pick up the smells of what was on the fabric seats or booth benches. Yeah, it's gross. It's always only on the... ass, the seat. Sorry if that's a bit TMI, but there ya go.

Do you ever notice this, smell this? Wanna' play a fun/not so fun game? Smell your pants when you get home. (Almost all my pants end up in the hamper, even if I only wore them for a couple of hours that evening at the restaurant and that's it.)

If it's a cheap place, it might smell like fried food (it's the oils that are so potent.) That's gross, but it makes sense.

If it's a nicer place, it'll smell like women's perfume, and occasionally men's cologne.

Have you seen anyone else spray themselves at a table? Do you do this? Or do the people you dine with do this? I really want to know what y'all are doing out there.

And no, it is not cleaner that the restaurant uses. It's definitely perfume. And it sticks in clothing because of the oils in perfumes, as opposed to disinfectants, body washes, etc.

I'm leaving the Anon option on this one, 'cause I really want your honest answers, thanks!

I spray perfume on my face when I'm sitting in a restaurant.
I spray perfume on my crotch when I'm sitting in a restaurant.
I spray my crotch with perfume or cologne before leaving home.
Hell no I don't do any of that.
