Even if you’re not sensitive to fragrances, too much perfume is NOT welcome.
Also, I don’t bring a gift every time I go somewhere. People don’t want more stuff these days. I can’t even garage sale stuff any more and it’s in good condition and not obsolete.
Every frickin’ airport these days after you go through security you go through the Duty Free section where there’s perfume all over the place, and I start to sneeze like crazy.
