What, no more 8th grade dance cologne?

I remember when I was in school If I was sitting near a girl with particularly alluring perfrume the last thing on my mind was schoolwork.

[wastedyears]

That’s something I could agree with. Axe body spray SUCKS.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

"guys who just think that putting Axe all over them is a substitute for showering"

When did they start letting French kids attend public school?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

This would prevent a large portion of the non-native population from getting an education.

I have gotten to where I hesitate to wear any scent. My daughter has an allergic reaction when I wear my favorite cologne, so I don't wear that very often, and never around her. Recently I wore one of the Bath and Body Works scents and one of the women I sing with had a reaction to that! Are they making scents very differently now or are people just more sensitive?

[buffyt]

My son has asthma and he kept buying stinky men’s cologne. I explained to him that it stinks and it was driving his allergies crazy. I don’t know why they make men’s colognes so stinky. They just smell nasty. But better than bad B.O.

[Waco]

If he wants the school to be fragance free, he should stay out of it. yuk yuk yuk

[buffyt]

One more thing, I had to stop letting my son wear those colognes if he and I would be riding in a car together. I couldn't breathe.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Sure. Ban this, but don’t ban the homosexual indoctrination in schools.

[Publius Valerius]

He said the smell is "indescribable"

I think the word he's looking for is "gasoline."

[Think free or die]

Some of the fragrances out there are truly disgusting. I like to wear light floral fragrances, but there are occasions when I avoid them. I sing in our church choir, and I never wear fragrance there. There are just too many people for whom fragrance can cause respiratory problems or just a gunky frog-in-the-throat effect. Sadly, it seems that allergies are just far more prevalent than they once were.

A few years ago, very heavy women's fragrances were in style, and I had more than a few dinners ruined by someone with heavy perfume sitting near me. It's easy to lose track of how strong a scent is when you wear it regularly.

[taxcontrol]

I have to admit that this is getting out of hand. It used to be that I would only have to worry about an allergic reaction at the perfume isle at the drug or department store.

Now I have to be careful in the malls when the mall rats walk by.

[roamer_1]

I wish this would catch on everywhere... Especially folks that put their perfume on with a garden hose. I swear, sometimes the scent is so strong it makes my nose bleed.

Perfumes and colognes are supposed to be a hint of a scent, a mere whiff. It isn’t supposed to be put on so heavy that folks can smell it 1/2 mile away, down wind.

[aruanan]

Odors that fill hallways come mostly from boys who douse themselves in body sprays like Axe, said Mikolai Altenberg, a senior at Minneapolis South High School. He said the smell is "indescribable" and unavoidable.

It's true and it's revolting. I tell my guys that it's not attractive to smell like some middle-aged Eastern European whore.

[darkangel82]

We need a bill banning stupid politicians from wasting time and tax money on this.

[torchthemummy]

One in eight Minneapolis students has asthma, and school nurses have treated students for wheezing and headaches brought on by the fragrances wafting from classmates, said Mary Heiman, a nursing service manager who runs the district's asthma program.

That sounds way too high. And notice how this bill is premised on the behaviour of BOYS and accepts the presumption that one student and one nurse make.

[LiberConservative]

I remember just a few years ago colognes and perfumes were becoming passe because folks got tired of all the competing odors.

[kiriath_jearim]

I wonder if that means guys can’t wear their dad’s Hai-Karate aftershave to school...
