Bob Marley, A very interesting read indeed! I would not necessarily say that some people put too much perfume just because they are depressed, though the theory does make sense. Some might just like smelling really good and I dont think that they are set on irritating others who dont like strong scents or are allergic to it! Its a personal choice-- some people like smelling totally good from a distance and some people dont. And about the article, I think its like saying-- men drink alcohol because they are depressed and use alcohol to enter a stage of oblivion. Might be true but is not always the case. I would not go as far as saying the people who apply a lot of perfume are usually depressed, I would rather say that studies suggest that the people who use a lot of perfume might be depressed. Plus, one study hardly makes a confident theory.
