Guys, if you smell a girl's perfume from ten to twelve feet away, are you aroused, intrigued, or turned off?

I have always believed that the scent of your perfume or cologne should not arrive before you. A fragrance should be used sparingly and should be noticeable only to those who are standing close to you. If I can smell a girl from across the room, I assume there are two explanations:

Maybe she got stuck in that pre-adolescent phase where girls sometimes play with makeup and clothes, trying to look grown-up, but doing everything in excess

or the girl is just an attention whore and this is a symptom of her needy narcissism (which some of my friends call a "French whore.")

If a girl walks into the room and you can smell her perfume from ten or twelve feet away, what do you think?

I think she is immature or a very attention seeking female

I assume she is lacking in the social graces

I am not turned on or aroused by her overwhelming scent

It doesn't bother me and I don't think much of it

A woman's strong fragrance gets my attention in a positive way

A woman's strong fragrance gets me aroused and intrigued

Depends. I work with some older ladies whose perfume gives me a headache. It is so overpowering. However there are a few ladies whose perfume lingers after they walk past that is rather enjoyable. It really depends on the fragrance.

I dated somebody a long time ago that wore a specific fragrance. Even today when I encounter it I think of her.

Thanks for the MHO😎

I sincerely agree with your main point of view, usually a big scent is something I don’t like very much since it’s bothering.
I don’t like scent coming before the person like a perfumed cloud walking around with her, seems like she’s seeking for attention.
I think there should be balance, it’s ok to wear perfume and some are very intriguing but it’s not ok to plague a room!
I also like feeling the scent after a girl passes, if she passes and leaves a little good fresh scent, I’d be intrigued.

I think men and women need a lesson on how to wear perfume and cologne. Because if someone can smell you across the room then you are wearing too damn much. If anything you want to be wearing just enough that a person would have to get close to you to smell it. That way if you and another person start to hit it off and like what you are wearing, they will stand closer to you.

Also don't get me started on that musk smelling shit. Be it perfume or cologne. Why the hell do people want to smell like they just whipped their ass with road kill?

A woman must have a signature cologne. It must be pleasant to others, but strong enough to proceed her as she walks into a room. It is very attractive, in Elegance. My wife's favorite cologne is Sierra and the second favorite is "C". They are old colognes

First off, I have allergies. If they get triggered by someone's perfume, so do I. Second point is that not everyone has the same sense of smell. What might be overpowering to the rest of us may be a sign this person just has a really poor sense of smell. Finally, if this is someone who just wants to share their scent the way some folks want to share their music on the freeway, that's a lack of social grace and I am out.

Because it is too much and no one does that unless that they d not know how to behave or is looking to get laid...

[AviatorTom]

If I can smell a woman's perfume from 10 feet away, she's wearing way too much perfume, and it definitely doesn't arouse me, just the opposite.

[Massageman]

Well, it would get my attention, certainly.
The situation, gal, and (possibly) the scent might lend a clue as to whether it would be positive stimulation of negative.

[Massageman]

oops * OR negative

[KrakenAttackin]

The girl on the bottom looks like her "perfume" would be week old Tuna fish.

[OlderAndWiser]

I googled "French whore" and that image was one of the first in the results.

[KrakenAttackin]

@OlderAndWiser. Ha! Good search metric.

[Twalli]

If it's 10-12 feet away, she's wearing way too much, unless she lives with me and put it on recently near me. It doesn't really do much for me. I may like the smell, but smells don't do anything for my sexual arousal or such.
