I wondered if he wanted the job or if he was in the office to get a date.
Unfortunately he got neither.

There used to be a guy in my office who would workout over lunch, and rather than taking a shower afterward, he would douse himself with Axe body spray. To make it even worse, he would spray himself *after* he got back to his cubicle. The entire office smelled horrible all afternoon. God, that **** is nasty!
Was your office overrun by hot cougars looking for a cub due to using Ax? If it wasn't somebody should sue for false advertising.
Aramis? I don't think I smell that bad. Or is @CloneLawman Aramis?My sophomore year in college, I had a roommate from the Middle East. I think he got about 3 dousings from every bottle of Aramis. Our room reeked of it. I finally went to the dorm council and got changed to a different room. Some of my stuff stilled smelled like Aramis weeks later.
A fan at my desk is helping. I confirmed with a different coworker that the smell is strong with this one. We are in agreement. Turning it over to manager to handle.
1. Women of the 1960s into the early 1970s make my Italian blood boil
2. I would consider buying a cologne that has "indispensable instructions on self defense in every package"
3. Throwing the oriental lime at the woman was just overkill and uncalled for. How could she resist??
There was a type of cologne that was very popular in the early 90s; I don't remember the brand. One of the grad students in the department that came to my office a lot wore copious amounts of it...the stuff smelled like hospital disinfectant. Blerg.
Like other folks, I've had to be the one to ask people to tone down the scents (for me and for their co-workers). It was really tough shortly before I retired because my boss was the culprit wearing a heavy scent.

That's actually where I thought the post was heading too. lol
Edit: @Colorado ask him if the cologne contains little bits of actual panther in it.
A lot of really funny answers in this thread, but this would be the best realistic option.
My wife used to manage a large team of associates and she had to have many delicate conversations about people and their odor.
In my managerial experience the too much perfume/cologne conversation is generally easier than the take a shower more than once a month conversation.
My dad still has a bottle of green Hai Karate. He also has some classic Old Spice as well.
My dad does not buy new things.
We had a little issue with two women at work once where one complained about the other one having too much perfume on. Almost turned into a cat fight!! I stepped in with my eyes watering and sneezing due to the smell. I told the one gal I was allergic to perfumes and that the last time it happened I broke out in hives and almost needed an epi-pen. She felt bad after that and from then on she took it very easy on the perfume. Solved that problem pretty quickly!!
Anyone else give themselves the "sniff test" after reading this thread?
It would suck to be "that guy" and not know it.

Ask yourself if it's covering up something worse... Maybe strong cologne smell is a plus.
