I spent 5 years attending and then working at a college that was scent-free, and now I’m sort of militant about my hatred of perfumes. Your freedom of expression ends where it causes other people to have allergic reactions, assholes.

And the stinkiest scents seemed to be owned by those with no ability to apply in moderation.

YES I feel the exact same way. And the idiot woman in the cube next to me douses herself in the cheapest shit perfume possible. I’ve literally puked because of it. HR does nothing. Our manager does nothing. It’s horrible.

That powdery floral note is usually orris root. My mom is crazy allergic to it, and it’s in every fragrance under the sun.

I am the same way. I am extremely sensitive to smells, not to mention allergic to a lot of them. I don’t do perfumes.

Smells
I’m just going to go on the record and say that I hate the way 99% of fragrances smell. EVERY. SINGLE. perfume has this powdery floral note that makes me want to throw up all over the entire world. And if this bitch on the work shuttle keeps wearing it, that very well might happen.
I don’t know what’s fair and what’s unfair when it comes to smells, since I realize that most of the world does not share my extreme sensitivity to scents, and perfume is generally accepted as something pleasant. But seriously, if you’re someone who wears a fragrance every day, please just take a second and realize that somebody, somewhere, probably thinks it smells like rotting flowers sprinkled with baby powder. And if you are wearing it in a confined space, such as public transportation, there is probably at LEAST one person in that car who hates you. A lot.
