May 3, 2007The Perfume Issue
I used to attend the symphony quite often, and the ladies who usually sat next to me smelled as if they bathed in perfume. It was actually a quite nice perfume … just not in the quantity they indulged. I felt very shy about approaching them about it, but I also didn’t want to suffer through another concert while trying not to choke.
In the end, I compromised with my cowardice and wrote them a note. I explained that I liked their perfume very much but asked if they could not wear quite so much on concert evenings as it caused me discomfort. Both ladies approached me later and apologized for their perfume. We were able to laugh over it, and I never had another issue.
