Should I Tell My Boss I Hate Her Perfume?

19,678 2,309 October 17, 2006 at 08:43 AM
Lately she has been wearing this Raspberry perfume that I absolutely despise.

It makes me sick to my stomach. Not only is it horrible smelling to begin with, but I have a history with this perfume.

At my last job, I worked with a woman who had a stinky crotch from hell. She used to cover it up with Sun Ripened Raspberry from Bath and Body works. Her crotch was so smelly, we made the office manager talk to her about it. She denied knowing about it, was apologetic and the crotch went right on stinking.

Think about stinky crotch smell mixed with Raspberry. vomit

I really don't know if I can take it. Should I tell her the story and ask her if she will wear the perfume less?

btw, how can a crotch smell, unless she hasn't showered in a week?

We thought maybe she had some sort of medical condition or yes, maybe she didn't shower as much as she should...

Number one, she is my boss and it's not really my place to tell her what kind of perfume to wear.

So I wonder if I should tell her the whole story and hope she understands...

That's a tough call.Any way you go might cause hard feelings.Maybe you can buy her a small bottle or a sample bottle of something else to give her a nudge in a different direction.nod

She is very well-off and is not going to wear cheapo perfume. I'm not going to fork out big bucks for perfume for someone was born with a silver spoon and makes big bucks.

Maybe just tell her the story of the old place...

Leave an anonymous note on her desk when she is at lunch.
And for the smelly crotch lady you should have left an anonymous douche bag on her desk when she was away too -- gives her the hint and never knows who left it. Smilie
