There was something else you said recently that left me going WTF? but I cant remembe it. Sort of makes me question whether you are the true authority on everyting I have always thought you were for years. Maybe you are Cliff Clavin?

Maybe I am, but if so I wear better shoes.
The perfume in the visibly firm stuff doesn't bother me, I don't really notice it, just the metalic underbite, which smells to me like blood (which isn't really a bad thing, just peculiar). But I'm not at all surprised that something that smells barely discernable to me would drive someone else nuts, or that something that smelled strongly to me would smell totally different to someone else. Most people can't actually smell cyanide, for example, despite the almond thing being a staple of mystery novels. Actually, I smeared some of the VF stuff on the Mr. before he ran off to a game one day and he commented that it was disgusting. I said "oh, yeah it smells like blood," and he said "uh, no, it smells like a floozy wearing cheap perfume who forgot to wash off the baby lotion before going out." People are sensitive to different kinds of smells.
And accents.
