- I spray myself six or seven times a day

Young people in Norway discuss their daily perfume routine, highlighting the preference for smelling good despite complaints about excessive fragrance use.

In a light-hearted discussion among Norwegian youths, 19-year-old Ronja Henriksen and 16-year-old Kasper Rønningen Engelsøy share their daily ritual of applying perfume multiple times, emphasizing the importance of a pleasant scent. Engelsoy humorously mentions that he sprays himself six or seven times a day, while the others in the group echo similar sentiments about wanting to ensure they smell good throughout the day.

The trend reveals a growing inclination among young people to carry their fragrances to school for 'touch-ups' during the day, with one teenager noting that they sometimes apply it to various parts of their bodies, resulting in multiple sprays. However, this practice is not without its downside, as Anna Bistrup, a senior advisor for Norway's Asthma and Allergy Association, points out that there is an increasing number of complaints from individuals suffering adverse effects from excessive perfume use.

This highlights a potential societal conflict between personal preferences for fragrance and the impact it may have on others, particularly those with sensitivities. The conversation around perfume usage among youths reflects broader discussions about personal grooming, societal norms regarding scents, and the implications for public health as more people report discomfort due to intense fragrance applications.
