Yes, daily or often

Yes, sometimes or rarely

No

No, it gives me migraines/allergies

No, soap & deodorant are good enough.

I think I have that Houston show.  I was there also.  The best part was that almost no one came to Supergrass.  I yelled a song for them to play, and they did.  Then they threw a drumstick our way, but it went over our heads.  I will see if I have it.

Wow.. I only have 11.5 days' worth of music on my computer.

I totally missed Supergrass, but not because I didn't want to see them, but due to delay.  How's the quality of the recording on that Houston show?

[KeithHernandez]

I couldn't find it, but I only looked real quick as I am having some serious shit to deal with recently.  I'll try again later, my roommate definately has it.  I am not sure on quality.

Yarrr! god dammit, do not sully my thread with supergrass. What the hell is supergrass, anyway? this thread is about perfume, bitches!

Speaking of grass, and perfume... remember that GAP perfume... Grass?  I liked it, but the smell wore off almost immediately. 

When it comes to perfume, I usually choose things that are very clean, almost soap like, and very, very subtle.  My aim is to never get the "what scent are you wearing?" question, but rather the "Hey you smell good.  Is it soap or shampoo or what?" question.

My favorites are Banana Republic "W" and Cool Water.  I wear perfume fairly rarely though, and I get really angry at other people when they are anything above the "faint aroma when they stand close" marker.  I was contemplating talking down a co-worker who stunk up the office with a lingering, heavy perfum-y smell long after she left.  I hate that shit.  Also, I was pissed off at a friend for an entire drive because he'd engulfed himself in a cloud of that Ax shit seconds before getting in my car.  What the hell?  Don't do that!

Why are you friends with a 14 year-old boy who "reads" both Maxim and FHM?

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the overperfumed, but i've thought about this, i'd rather rather be in the presence of someone who is over perfumed than someone who smells... unclean.

The best thing is when their perfume is tantalisingly tangible only when you are very close with the person, yet the aroma sticks to your clothes for the rest of the day.

I'm a fan of a less perfume-y smell. Soap and shampoo are good.

But sometimes a hint of Perfum. is good.

The answers to that are complicated and illegal.  (Actually it was my trashy homo friend, probably attempting to mask the odor of man on man sex action.)

I don't know - if someone stinks of B.O. or pee or something, it doesn't give me an angry headache like a nose-rape-fog of perfume does.  I was on the bus, and as usual, there were the unpleasant odors - mostly focused around an old, dishevelled man who had most definitely shit himself... that's not easy either... but there's something so inconsiderate about the over application of perfume because it's so intentional. 

I do have to agree with inev.  a faint perfume up close is very nice. I am not anti-perfume, just anti-over-perfuming.   

Also on a sort of related note:  to linnea and everybody interested in scent,it's power, etc. - I suggest the book Perfume.  I'm curious about the film version which came out in limited release in Dec 2006 and was directed by the director of Run Lola Run.

You know, maybe it's just me, and maybe I'd change this decision if exposed to the relative fragrances for too long? But I think I'd rather have someone close to me smell like man on man sex action than smell like Ax. I mean, at least the sex-action smell indicates you can get laid.

corollary: old ladies, losing their sense of smell, over-apply perfume.
