Scents

[pamhill]

It is hard to know what is right or what is wrong at times. Scents really bother me. Mostly they don't bother me to the point where I am physically sick but they will cause migraines if the smell is too strong or I am around it for too long. I know it is their right to wear perfume which is were I have a dilemma

urgh. Most perfumes give me headaches and make me feel nauseous. I don't like perfumes in cleaning chemicals, perfumes, candles, incense, "oils", or anything else. I just don't like perfumes.

May tomorrow bring you less odor.

Thanks Jinjre. I don't like scents in any products either.

It is not her "right" to wear perfume. Many work places have been declared scent free zones. I don't wear scent to work, for the sake of my members. It is not polite to those around you.

Have you let her know that her scent is a problem? If not, do so. She can't fix something that she doesn't know is a problem. People who habitually wear scent often can't tell how strong it smells to others.

If you have talked to her directly about this issue, you can take steps to have the workplace declared a scent-free zone. Talk to your manager and see if they will help.

It is a scent free zone and when she was admin she had to send out the email to remind others not to wear scents. Her and I have often discussed the fact that it makes me sick. I guess this morning she just did not think about it. :(

Serously? Wow. Some people can be so obtuse.

Yea seriously. It surprises me from her as she has known me for 8 years.
