Male fragrance faux pas!
Discussion
A guy in my office has been noticeably "whiffier" than normal with some fragrance that is quite notcieable, even with him remaining in his seat some 8 meters or so from me.
At coffe break today, as a woman in our office was dropping off his Latte, she commented on his fragrance and said it was nice, quite familiar and asked what it was. He replied that he couldn't remember, it was a tiny Hugo Boss tester than he got in Debenhams last week. "it's in the car though, I'll have a look" he said, as this woman was interested in some for her boyfriend!
Well he has just been down to his car to get his phone charger, and as he walked in, piped up "It's Hugo Boss Deep Red"......
I replied, "isnt that women's?"....
"No, dont be stupid...." And he sat down at his PC. I notcied he had ebay up a few minutes ago, with what looked like girly red bottles on screen, so I think it has dawned on him I am right....And I jsut emailed the woman who was interested in it to ask if she had sussed his error, and she has, as have all her friends who are giggling about it on the email!
Now this chap is an OK fella, but we are sort of in this uncomforatble stand off, where we have to pretend we dont know his is flouncing about in ladies perfume, and he has to try to ignore the fact, so as to keep of off the (somewhat floral) scent!
Any ideas on how to proceed. I am just waiting for someone else to come in and say "hmmm, nice aftershave what is it....?" Because I know the whole department will burst out laughing in unison! In fact i did think this may break the ice on the whole matter and was lining up another friend on another floor to do this!!
Or should I just ostracise him totally for the rest of his days, the Great big Jessie?

That perfume is rather masculine though
So you are saying the marketing should read: 'Hugo Boss for the lady that likes to strap-on-a-cock'
as mentioned before, order as many of these as possible to his desk:
