Axe body spray moment

I remember an Axe body spray commercial, where this famous line was uttered: "Where have you been all my life?"

Young and carefree as I was at that time, I didn't give much thought about that tv advertisement.   Yeah, I understood the guy probably smelled so good that the lady had that to say, but like anything else, what you see in television, is always overdone. 

Exaggerated. I would say. 

It wasn't until that I was in my mid 20's that I discovered I would find myself being able to relate to the commercial. 

I learned, that I am attracted to good smell. Hence, my love for perfumes.  If a guy passes by and I would get a whiff of his perfume, and I like the fragrance, my head would just turn by reflex.  Even now, dealing with different people, and working in a hospital, encountering many patients of all ages, both men and women, I could not stop complementing them, when I like their scent.  Especially the ones that I use too, oh goodness.  I just had to say I love how they smell.

Let's just say I now have a better understanding why that line... in that one axe ad. 

What do you do when you keep running into a person you are trying to avoid, because that person, for some unknown reason, makes you feel uncomfortable?  He has not done anything bad to me... but I feel him act awkward around me too.  I try to keep things between us friendly and civil as best as I could.  Then the most recent time we had to bump into each other, he smelled really good, that I couldn't help but prolong the conversation, when my usual self would just give the most brief answer possible.  I was so close to just being upfront and asking him what his perfume was. I was wearing double mask and all, and I could still smell him.

What the heck?
