What is that SMELL???

Public bathrooms rarely smell decent. In worst case scenarios, they smell like, well, crap. Literally. If you're lucky, it may only smell bad, but the stalls will not have paper on the floor or pee on the seat. Now, let's turn to the bathroom in the office building where I work...

It doesn't usually smell bad in there, and for a bathroom, it's quite nice; the landlords have decorated it in shades of grey. and put (fake) orchids on the counter. However, when I walked in today, I was overcome with dizziness as the odor of a newly replaced air freshener hit me. The scent was supposed to be Ocean, but it didn't smell like any ocean I've ever been to. I felt as though I had just stepped through the door into a florist who had only 1,000 rotting honeysuckle plants in stock; the smell was gonna give me a migraine. Now, I am all for making the bathroom smell a little more pleasant, but for heaven's sake, we don't need to make it smell so sickly sweet that I am overcome with the urge to 'hold it' all day, do we?
