Indeed, at least in professional settings. There is a guy at the office where I'm doing some consulting now, and he stinks. But I'm no more inclined to tell him that he stinks than I am to tell a certain woman colleague of mine that she uses WAY too much perfume. I might, however, one day work up the guts to tell the leading goal-scorer on my hockey team that his pads (or something) smell revoltingly bad, even when compared with other hockey gear. In other words, I'd tell a friend that he stinks, but I wouldn't tell a colleague the same.
