9. Perfume Can Be Confusing, at the Best of Times

So, I'm not surprised by this. Most men have no idea about scents.

An illustration: In the 80s, I was on a plane from New York, flying home from a business trip. As I worked on a crappy drink on the plane, I noticed a scent that caught my attention. Pretty soon, I realized that its source was a flight attendant who was going up and down the aisle. I caught her attention. She smiled and asked if she could help me. I said, "I'm very curious about the scent you're wearing. I don't recognize it." She apparently thought I was flirting with her and smiled more broadly and said, "Oh, that's new. It's Giorgio "Red."

I said, "Thank you very much. I really like it. I'm going to buy some for my wife." Her broad smile disappeared, and she didn't seem to notice me the rest of the flight. However, my wife did like it as a gift, I'm pleased to say.

Misunderstandings. Perfume. I don't know, but maybe Opium is intoxicating.
