How many of you have a hard time breathing around someone who goes overboard on perfume/cologne? Do you say anything?

I dont usually have to say anything. The coughing and choking pretty much says it all.

Most scents are like kryptonite to me. I don't even need to smell. If the chemical in the air is anywhere near me -FORGET IT. I'll get the migraine of my young life with vomiting. There are scents I can tolerate Heliotrope, Citrusy things, but no flowers. As far as men's scents their so sexy & so nauseating. Sad huh?
And yes their is a ban at work on fragrance because more than one of us has this problem. Plus the patients are bad enough.Like (2)

I said that she was smelly and taking away my right to fresh air that i needed to breath.. she took offence and left the store a few people cheered

I usually ask if they have a cat, and if it makes a habit of pee'ing on their clothes.

I'm lucky. I can tolerate heavy perfume. Though the gas man said I have an extremely sensitive smeller, I can smell gas from across the room that barely registers on his meter I'm so proud.

I do have that difficulty. If I am likely to have to be around the person in the future, I do say something.

only occasionally if there is an ingredient that makes me sick ... and that has happened a few times with fragrances ... some do make me physically ill.

No, but I am aware that many people do, so I have stopped wearing perfumes and colognes altogether. Oddly enough, I don't miss it--I guess because the perfume I really like is expensive, and I am not wealthy.
