I Smell Good

I know because the fellow waiting in line behind me at the bank (the one with the little, tiny tables) told me so. “Thanks,” I replied. “I showered.” Awkward silence. What I meant  was that I wasn’t wearing any exotic fragrance, but I had showered with Night Blooming Jasmine body wash. I guess it was TMI, but I’m not at my best in the morning. So, I have two questions for you:

Is it ever appropriate to make comments to a stranger about the way they smell?
And what kind of soap is in your shower?
