This is a true story and I have nowhere else to put it:
There's this sweet little flaming gay guy who works in a new Yankee Candle store in a nearby Italian city (they're apparently trying to expand into Europe) and he's getting uninvited to parties left and right and even having hugs refused with a polite fingertip handshake "because he smells so bad" after work. Those nasty artificial scents permeate his clothing and person.
I want to laugh, but my god.
