I used to work in a group home for teens. Which meant selling axe all day every day.

When asked why they would do this most of the time they would reply "because girls like the smell."

I had to explain to each generation, if girls like the smell you should apply less of it. If they can smell it from across the room they have no reason to come any closer. They already get the scent they want with no need to interact with you. You apply just enough so that they can only smell it once they are in range to talk to you. This is for two reasons. One, they will associate talking with you with a positive stimulus, this will make them look forward to talking with you even if you aren't the best conversationalist, and secondly it makes it a draw to get them close enough to interact with you.

Sadly that worked better than trying to tell them women hate the smell, since that one they just would not believe.
