[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where's the data on fatal perfume accidents?

Otherwise, this comes down to "personal preference," just as I feel all dogs smell gross. [/quote]

This. So much this.

Some people do have fragrance sensitivities, but I've not been made aware of any case of death by asthma attack from other people's perfume. I really doubt it is a thing or there would be a more widespread campaign for awareness and scent reduction.

People with true needs can get reasonable accommodations such as permanent work from home or an office in a distant part of the building that ensures minimal contact with others. The number of people who can medically document this level of sensitivity is quite low.

Most people who are very vocal about this simply have an intense dislike of scents. But many people have favorite shampoos, lotions, or soaps that do not come in unscented form. They may need to use Icy Hot or a topical cream that contains a scent. It doesn't make sense to prioritize a small but incredibly vocal minority's preferences above everyone else's.

The world contains a lot of scents. I hate to say this, but learning to cope with the various scents-- food, people, nature, and yes shampoo-- is a YOU problem. You can go to therapy for anxiety and learn coping skills to deal with it without imposing on everyone. [/quote]
