Simple solution: return it.

Upon inquiry, I was told that the socks are sprayed with Rouge Habit Guerlain. I was also told that this is the shop's signature, and that hundreds of thousands of orders have had this perfume without complaint. I was told to wash the socks to remove the odor. This worked. I was also told that on future orders I should instruct them not to spray.

What a hassle! What a way to do business! When I purchase socks (or any other clothing) I don't want them sprayed with perfume.
I like that the French are giving some extra attention to the package and the perfume is also part of it. It is like the old days when a lady would put some of her perfume on a letter.
Some like it, some not.

I am particularly happy with their Airport line as an all rounder sock which can be worn almost around the year.
+1

I also love their Teppich im schuh model for boots.

Cheers
