Does this also apply to perfume?  Some folks put sooo much on it makes your 
eyes water, but they don't seem to smell it.  I thought that if they would 
simply rotate application of perfume to differnt locations of the body or 
clothing that the wearer could smell it and so use a more moderate amount.
