The perfume / cologne thing - I'm not like, super sensitive but there's a couple of brands out there that make me feel like my lungs are gonna collapse if I keep breathing them. Just some kind of chemical in there or something. It's literally physically distressing, especially if I'm already feeling headachy or a bit tired.

And sometimes it's not that, it's just the smell is so thick I can taste it from feet away. I just don't want my mouth tasting like whatever it is they're wearing.

Tbf I get the perfume cologne thing to a point.

If people wear it like it's meant to be worn it ain't bad, but people who douse themselves in it so you can tell they were in the room ten minutes after they left, that's too much.

We had a person who was the guy who complained about people's scent but he reeked like bo. Like awful. That bugged me more than people's cologne.
