| OK, so I'm temporarily assigned in a BC spot. We just got a brand new Tahoe assigned to the Battalion. Sweet ride, new car smell and everything. Along comes another chief with a propensity for perfume, and ALOT of it. Its 40 degrees and I'm riding around with all the windows down because I can't take the fumes. I tried baking soda when I was in a similar situation once before (same chief) and it didn't do much good. Any suggestions for getting rid of the smell? |

All I generally have to do to sweeten up the control picket a little is take
off my stab vest after running 6 or 7 hours of in and outs up three fucking rows on three different sections during the summer in TX. The same vest the last shift used....And will use again after we leave. |

Is she your superior? I'd just find a way to kindly comment on it. See if you can get her to cut back or lay off.
I've had to ride with two different people for extended periods of time that had smells to them. One was my female partner who wore too much perfume and the other was one of my FTOs. My parner's perfume wore off or I got used to it after about and hour into the shift and I never had to say anything. My FTO didn't wear deodorant. I had to roll around with the window down in December to keep from tossing my cookies. He asked my why and I told him I wanted to always be able to hear my surroundings. |
I'm probably guilty of wearing too much fragrance. What ends up happening is you become accustomed to it and can't smell it anymore so before you know it, you're bathing in it. Never had anyone complain, but I've had a few ladies compliment me on it 
All things considered however, I much rather smell perfume than alcoholic vomit, homeless shit & BO, or that real strong weed smell

She is superior in rank, but equal in billet, meaning she is a promoted chief and I am a temporally appointed chief (different shifts). She's been approached regarding her cosmetic use by her superiors and her pat answer is "How much do you think I should wear?" and has yet to limit her use of perfume. I've thought about marking the territory with another scent, but I have to ride in the car for another two months. I'll try the matches thing, my wife swears by it when I beat her into the toilette. 
Thanks for the suggestions. |

The trick to purfume is one spray in the air ad walk through it beforegetting dressed...
If it lingers or can smell it before you see the person that means they ned to go wash their ass. Tell her little to none it is effecting your nosefor crime....not like you would be able to smell or taste a damned thing after her skunking of you. |
