Personal Breezes

Ok. This is kind of strange, but it's one of those things that I've always known was there, but wondered if other people realized it. Do you ever notice people's "personal breezes?"

What is it? Well, ...picture yourself walking down the corridor of the mall (but it could be anywhere, except outside usually), and you're walking one direction, and you see someone walking towards you in the opposite direction. ...They pass by you, (within a couple of feet of you). And then there is about a 2 second delay. And then it hits you....their "breeze". Sometimes it is a perfume or cologne; sometimes is a not so pleasant smell; sometimes it is not much of a smell at all - just a breeze. But there is always that 2 second delay, and then it hits you in the face. Kind of like the wake from a boat.

Anyone else ever notice "personal breezes?" If you haven't, just for the fun of it, next time you are in a hallway walking past someone, watch for it. (Maybe watch isn't the best word.)
