I’m allergic to the petroleum products found in perfumes. Whenever someone is in my vicinity wearing heavy perfurme, I start sneezing and I get headaches.
Also, it’s like tobacco: if you’re into perfumes, what gives you the right to pollute the air I breathe?
Inflicting your choice of artificial scents on others is super-rude. Fuck people who wear perfumes.
That’s a little harsh. Smoking projects the exhaled smoke from the body and into the air around them. But perfume is sprayed on the wearer, not into a public environment. There are definitely people who wear too much perfume, which I agree is really rude, but if you’re wearing perfume properly the scent shouldn’t project past your personal space.
Soo wish I could tell people that it’s meant to be discovered, not announced. Like, Sir/madam, that stuff is so loud that it’s smell-able from across the room. My nose doesn’t need to know you exist unless we’ve been married for 2 years
This is the main reason why I don’t wear scents anymore. You never know when you’ll run into someone who has an allergy. I used to work with someone who would get migraines from any strong cologne, and she couldn’t just leave the bar if a customer came in drenched in the stuff. Seems crazy to just expect you guys to deal with that because some people NEED to smell like something fake. Honestly kinda surprised at all the comments in this thread in support of perfuming.
My work building is 100% scent free thanks to someone like you. Prime example of how a place making accessibility adjustments helps everyone, IMO. I’m not actually allergic, I just don’t want to smell that shit.
That parallel to tobacco is one of the reasons I gave up on most scented products. (The final reason is that most scented products cause huge skin dryness and itching issues for me it turns out.)
That parallel to tobacco is also why I hate advertising. Which is ironic considering I work in marketing.
