Legit, that might actually make me hit someone before I could stop myself.

I inherited my grandmother's sensitive nose. I can't even walk past places like bath & bodyworks because my nose will be stopped up for hours after. There's 5 colognes I know I can use that don't make my nose burn and then clog up, and while I'm certain there are others, the experience of testing them is not something I'm willing to endure.

What's worse for me is that I was a smoker until COVID, which wasn't the reason I quit, it just happened to get going right around the time I smoked my last cigarette. But, while I smoked, it partially suppressed the sensitivity and dulled my sense of smell. After I quit, it was worse than before I smoked. Like, my wife can give a small spritz of something in the room she gets dressed in, and I'll smell it across the house in a minute or two. Before I smoked, I could be that far away and not detect a mild scent like febreeze, and now it makes my nose tickle across the house.

It's freaking annoying as hell.

So, somebody spraying at me without even warning me? I genuinely think I'd react before I could think.
