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. How well do you think people take it when asked to "remove" their perfume? But due to stories like the people above who fell ill due to someone's perfume I believe people are starting to look at perfume as the next cigarette.

It’s a very old aftershave—some trace it back to the 1880s. The Vegetal part of it smells very potent and very earthy. Then it blooms into a lilac scent over time. It’s very controversial but I love it. You can find it at most Walgreens.
Here it is on drugstore.com

Should I run out and buy some and spray my better half, the dogs, cats and yard with it? Who knows. I might have better luck.

Thanks. Wonder if I should invest in the company now?
I developed a perfume sensitivity while at Bama. Maybe it was that I was away from my mother’s daily perfume bathing for the first time in my life. Whenever I was around her after I had grown up and left home, I became ill from the smells/chemicals. I don’t have a problem with most candles, but hair sprays and cologne give me migraines if I’m around the smells for too long. Cigar smoke has always made me nauseous. I can tolerate cigarette smoke in a well ventilated area though it will give me a headache eventually. Windex gets to me. Other household cleaners sometimes irritate my sinuses as well.
I don’t know how to politely tell people that the smell of their houses or persons make you ill. LOL
I have loved Shalimar perfume since I was in grade school. Hubby, bless his heart, says it smells like vanilla extract.
I highly recommend “Serendipitous”. It smells like chocolate chip cookies and people will literally follow you down the street. It’s gorgeous!
I’m a migraine sufferer and certain potent colognes can trigger a migraine headache in minutes
