👉 The woman fumes likely refers to a strong, unpleasant odor emanating from her, possibly due to a combination of factors such as poor hygiene, recent exposure to strong perfumes or colognes, or even underlying health issues like respiratory problems or skin conditions. This smell can be particularly noticeable in enclosed spaces and may range from sweet and floral to harsh and chemical-like, depending on the source. It often triggers an immediate negative reaction, making others uncomfortable and potentially leading to social awkwardness or embarrassment. Addressing the source of the fumes—whether through better hygiene practices, using air fresheners with milder scents, or consulting a healthcare professional—can help mitigate the issue and improve the overall atmosphere.
