I often find the terms are very loosely used and confusing.
What do you guys think?

I always think of.........

Scent: something that you can only smell If you sniff a flower directly.
eg, primroses.

Fragrance: is stronger than scent and can be smelled without sniffing a
flower directly, say in passing close to a plant. eg, roses.

Perfume: Is the srongest and can be smelled from a good distance away.
eg honeysuckle.

I think you meant to post in alt.english.usage.

That's what I was thinking.

A skunk has a scent and can be smelled from a good distance away, but
you would not call it a perfume

Wouldn't that be aroma... and I don't mean some unbathed dago! lol

Lot of us aren't fond of you either.

Bordering on intolerant.
