A matter of time
Banning fragrances in restaurants. If they can ban smoking, it logically follows. Up next, bans on perfumes and colognes.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Think of the marriages that can be saved by preventing men from going home smelling like stripper perfume! They may have to ban glitter also.

If it saves me from sitting in the same room with some new age nitwit drenched in patchouli I’m all for it.

I’m actually very sensitive to many scents. They can trigger migraines for me. I have had conversations with coworkers explaining my sensitivity and politely requested that they refrain for my benefit. Or, at least not marinate in it. It would honestly make dining out far more pleasant for me if I didn’t run the risk of finding myself in a cloud of old lady talc and flowers. Or worse, Axe body spray.
But I’m still not in favor of a law banning fragrances. I can request a different table away from the offending person, or I can leave the restaurant entirely. They should not be legally required to cater to my sensitivity. I appreciate it when my coworkers respect me enough to be considerate, but I certainly wouldn’t mandate it.

City of Portland just banned all fragrances (men’s and women’s and presumably those on your Service Dogs as well) from Chitty Hall…hard to say what would happen if I ate a fine bean burrito from the wagon out back of Hizzoner’s Palace and whilst sitting through a long Council session, the asshorn announced a “fragrance”, so I guess it’s illegal to fart there now as well.

I’m with Jennifer here. Just last Saturday, there was a woman sitting near me in church who was wearing some kind of Godawful scent which made my head hurt so badly I had trouble paying attention to the service. I am one of those guys who uses un-scented shaving cream and un-scented laundry detergent.
The funny thing is, a barely-detectible whiff of a high-class natural perfume, such as Chanel #5, doesn’t bother me much at all. I will not make the obvious remark about whores in church.

Rivr, be sure to eat plenty of cabbage and beans before you go there the next time. Natural bad smells like that don’t bother me, except esthetically. It’s the synthetic un-necessary head-hurting “perfumes” which make me want to run up the black flag and start chopping and shooting. So to speak.

Not sure I would want to be in a public place where I’m surrounded by un-perfumed people…just saying, under all those scents are some pretty smelly folks!

Oh, yeah, @Bob: Slow death by impalement for all who display the patchouli stink.

Pete @#9 is a spammer. His site sells “male enhancement pills.” That figures, actually. People who can’t smell ok without artificial help prolly can’t get it up without artificial help.

What they need to make illegal is people farting in restaurants… I was at a rather classy restaurant not too long ago and the dude at the table next to us was farting decomposing chicken entrails… The the complaint murmurs got so bad that the owners got out mango scented air freshner and sprayed it everywhere as discretely as possible. Then it smelled like tropical mango shits… Was horrible.. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at the dude. Yes is was classless of me to laugh but when was eating my cesar salad there was a mixed odor of tropical fruit and pigshit blended with the italian dressing. I made an off comment to the waiter about something dead crawling out of someones ass in a none to subtle way.. Less than a minute later the suspect went to the bathroom… When he walked by though it was eye watering.. Anyhow he came out much embarrassed but far better smelling and everybody went on with their meals.
