The Detroit ruling class doesn’t make that much in the way of scents.
Just don’t bathe — then you will always be in compliance.
It’s Detroit — no one will notice.
Some of the perfumes and deodorants that idiots wear are strong nausea-inducers.
I don’t blame them.
Have you ever been at the 36th District Courthouse?
Absolutely no reason for people to wear perfume or cologne in an office and force everyone else to smell that crap all day.
Enough with the "breathing sensitivities."
It's weakening the race and eroding combat readiness.
You ever see a commie use a rescue inhaler?
I didn't think so.
I knew this guy who used to bathe in Polo. We jokingly said that we were going to pay his bonus with Polo.
As someone who becomes physically ill from perfumes, colognes, etc. I’m glad to see this.
I’ve banned one guy from my office (I go outside and speak to - staying up wind from him) when I have to deal with him. My boss and his are aware of this banning. I’ve told mine that either I go home sick (which means that someone else has to be pulled off of their work and cover for me) or he stays outside the building and I deal with him there. I will gladly get a note from my doctors explaining why scents make me physically ill.
In 1986 the National Academy of Sciences targeted fragrances as one of the six categories of chemicals that should be given high priority for neurotoxicity testing. The other groups include insecticides, heavy metals, solvents, food additives and certain air pollutants. The report states that 95% of chemicals used in fragrances are synthetic compounds derived from petroleum. They include benzene derivatives, aldehydes, and many other known toxics and sensitizers - capable of causing cancer, birth defects, central nervous system disorders and allergic reactions. “Neurotoxins: At Home and the Workplace” (Report by the Committee on Science and Technology. U.S. House of Representatives, Sept, 16, 1986) [Report 99-827]
A few chemicals found in fragrances known to be neurotoxic: hexachlorophene; acetyl-ethyl-tetramethyl-tetralin; zinc-pyridinethione; 2,4,dinitro-3-methyl-6-tert-butylanisole; 1-Butanol; 2-butanol; tert-Butanol; Isobutanol; t-Butyl Toluene. Neurotoxic properties of chemicals found in fragrances have caused testicular atrophy in lab animals as well as myelin disease. The myelin sheath protects the nerves and does not regenerate.

The most blighted and unemployed city in the US and they are worrying about smells? The place does smell of poverty.
Have to read the paper soon.
Patchouli oil... wear that around me and I’m likely to insult you, at the very least.
A little Bay Rum or Old Spice is fine, bet this AXE stuff is just bunk.
All the Avon Ladies will be out of work!
A "city planner" in Detroit. Hmm. Why do I think someone's perfume is the least of this idiot's problems?
It’s amazing how all of us have survived for so long.
A little doe pee....goes a long way.
Considering the fact that artificial scents have been used for millenia, one wonders what kind of wusses we have become. My guess is that there are a lot of folks with “allergies” that would whine unceasingly if the odor they smelled was naturally emitted. BO stinks more than you may remember.
