[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh the drama. Headaches, eyes watering, can't breathe. You all would be a lot more credible if you were honest.

I don't like it when someone wears too much perfume either, but I certainly don't dramatize it like this. [/quote]

People get migraines from strong scents. It isn’t socially appropriate to wear strong scent to the office. Scents can be polarizing or triggering, no matter how good it smells to the person wearing it. I say this as someone who is a self-described “fraghead” and collects perfume/cologne. It isn’t dramatic to expect understanding and compliance  with basic social rules for an office. Get real. [/quote]

I am well aware of all of that. What I don't believe is that this many people are so severely impacted by smelling perfume on someone. And if you are, please grow some balls and tell your neighbor. Complaining here is totally useless. [/quote]

All it takes is one person in the vicinity. For me, probably 95% of scents don't bother me. For those that do, I might get anywhere from a stuffed nose and red, watery eyes to a migraine of increasing strength within 2 minutes. It is literally instantaneous.

I had a cube neighbor who wore perfume that gave me the stuffed nose, red eyes, and regular headache. I told my supervisor, who did nothing. His boss knew about it, but didn't intervene until she saw my bright red eyes while stopping by my desk. Perfume stopped after that, but I also became a target of that coworker.

I'd just get a fan and an air filter. [/quote]
