I have to admit cigarette smoke comes in second to a lot of perfumes being worn out there as far as choking a person to tears.

The day they ban cologne and deodarant is the day I start carrying horse turds in my pocket as a “natural” odor.

Yes, the Obama Administration will begin proscecuting anyone who showers or uses deodorant, and especially if we use perfumes or colognes...We must obey the European “One World” smell requirements.

Clothes-pin sales will skyrocket!

“We’ve all been there, a restaurant, church, classroom, shopping aisle and yes a bar, when someone will walk in and the place turns to weeping eyes and sneezing.”

Actually, no, we’ve not all been there. I’m 50 years old and I’ve never had the above occur. I’ve encountered some women who were wearing way too much perfume, but never to the point of “weeping eyes and sneezing.”

Some times when a woman goes by and the perfume nearly knocks ya out ya have to wonder what the smell is she’s trying to cover up.

Hmm. I don't in any way want some perfume police hanging around issuing tickets.

On the other hand, I have a sensitivity to some scents, including cigarettes, new tires (how weird is that? I stay away from the tire section in Sam's) perfumes, candles, air freshener's. I can't go in my daughter's best friend's house because they must have 10K candles burning, and the child must wear 3 different layers of perfume when she comes over here. Instant migraine for me.

Even some cleaners that I can use for a few months suddenly affect me that way - migraine. Not sniffles or sneezing, just the headache.

That's not anyone else's problem, it's mine. But I do have a rule that no scented products that affect me that way can be worn in my house - drives the teenager crazy, but too bad.

Tax perfume for the sake of the children.

Problem a lot of us ladies have is the over application of perfume. You only need a dab.

Some of them give me headaches, so I can understand when people get sick from it.

Rather than make laws, the people should solve this by kindly asking the “perfumed person” to cut it out.

there is a cleaning lady in my office. literally we can smell her when she gets to the hallway outside our office!

when she gets into our section you literally have to step away or hold your breath. a french whore would be embarrased. it's horrible. truly.

Perfume can create allergic reactions, especially if the original concentrations change over time. Its no different than the potential of any other chemical to create a reaction.

I work with a guy who wears the most terrible cologne I have ever smelled. Smells like sweet mold. The lady who works next to his office has to close her door all the time because she wants to throw up.

Even the other men I work with have commented on how bad and strong it is.

Growing up as the only male in a house of 5, I can tell you certain perfumes and the old hairsprays in cans would make my lungs feel like they were the size of walnuts.

Luckily my mom and sisters were very understanding. Cigarette smoke is just annoying(now that I quit).

This subject reminds me of the old adage,

"The perfume you wear has a wonderful scent, but must you marinate in it?"

I'd rather be in an elevator with someone wearing too much perfume than someone wearing no deodorant.

Cigarette smoke comes in a very distant second! There is nothing worse than the smell of cheap perfume. My throat closes up when I am in too close proximity to someone who has presumably bathed in it!

I agree. There's a woman here at work who used to take a bath in the stuff. HR needed to get involved, it was so bad.

I'm not overly sensitive, but I'd take working in a cigar bar, over working in the cube next to this chick.
