Has anyone ever asked a client to shower because he has applied far too much aftershave/perfume/bodyspray. This man was clean wasn't hiding any BO or cheesyness, but the smell of his aftershave hit me as I walked in - the strongest I have ever encountered in 10+ years of experience. There were other things held me back in this booking, he and his property were clean and warm (have been in some well-appointed properties that have been very cold/cool temperature (I cannot stand the cold!))but lacking even basic home comforts.
I did tell him on the way out that it was overpowering, he thought he was doing the right thing. Could also have been to try conceal smoke from cigarettes.
It was so heavy my stockings are still too pungent to wear for another booking after two handwashes.
I always look back with hindsight wonder if I could have asked him to shower?One reason I didn't was some of the other circumstances as well as how he had come across.
