I meant reminiscent of how aftershave smells. I can't understand
folks who think that aftershave, cologne, perfume, scented
antiperspirant/deodorant or scented laundry detergent makes them smell
good. The icky AA people who meet at my place of employment stink of
cigarettes, cheap coffee, and aftershave. They start putting it on to
cover up their booze smell, but when they get dry, they forget to lose
the stink.
I think I'd rather die of alcohol-related illness than have to be in
the same room with those people.
