Strong Perfume

2007-07-12 Thu 07:30

This evening, as soon as I got on the subway train and sat on the seat, I became aware that the train car smelled unpleasant. The bad smell reminded me of Western women in New York. I hear that Western people have more body odor than Asian people, so they put on stronger perfume.

By the way, some older men in their 50s in my office always wear cologne which is slightly sickening. Everybody says that it is for cleaning away age-related body odor.

So I looked around in the train car, but I could not find any heavily made-up-face women. Instead, I found a young guy in his early 20s next to me was wearing a women’s strong perfume. I almost shouted, YOU ARE A JAPANESE MAN, AREN'T YOU?

But I thought it might be popular among young men. What do you think of such men wearing a women's strong perfume?

特別に私が西洋の強い香水やコロンが嫌いだというのもありますが、男子大学生が強い香水をつけるのは、目的は一つで女性に好かれるためだと思うのですが、若い女性もそのような男性を好む時代になったということでしょうか・・。
