[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These threads are so weird to me because I am definitely "scent sensitive" in that I notice smells very easily and more than others do. But I have no allergies or medical issue that make the smells affect me. I just notice them, even subtle smells, good and bad.

But I don't view that as a reason to demand other people stop wearing perfume. That's bizarre to me. I get if you have an allergy or similar and therefore can't work near someone wearing strong perfume. In that case, ask for an accommodation -- makes perfect sense (scents, ha!).

But to demand that all the old ladies at the Kennedy Center stop wearing their perfumes? To get angry about smelling someone else's perfume in a waiting room or standing on line at the post office? This just seems so controlling to me. Sometimes other people's perfume bothers me, but [b]it's a temporary annoyance[/b], something I notice and then forget about. I don't go home fuming about some woman on the bus and her heavy perfume.

These complaints are like eavesdropping on people and then complaining that their conversation is dull.[b] Just move along.[/b] It doesn't concern you.[/quote]

Exactly! Unless you are working in a shared space, I don't see what the big deal is.

I actually find the smell of "unscented" moisturizer really unpleasant...like I can smell it all day on me. So, I use a few brands whose smell I know work for me. I don't care what OP thinks. I use products that make me comfortable all day and I'm not concerned with the 2 seconds we might pass in a store.[/quote]
