10.6 million? I really DO have allergic reactions to certain kinds of perfumes....how much can I get? And if she's REALLY allergic to perfume, she should carry an inhaler.

While this award is excessive I'm in agreement with the woman over the perfume issue. Any kind of fragrances trigger severe headaches/migraines in me as well as making me physically ill.
How I wish I could find a company to work for that would ban their employees from wearing the horrible stuff on the job. And believe me, I've tried to find one.

I know someone who has a bad allergy to perfumes, she's even allergic to scented candles.

Perfumes can kill me. And I do carry a rescue inhaler.
Never sued anybody, though.

For 10 million, or even 800k, I'd gladly live with such an allergy :-)
To: patton
Funny thing, I have a severe allergic reaction to rose oil extracts perfumes, cremes, etc. However real roses do not affect me in any way. In fact one of my hobbies for years has been growing roses. Weird.

They put a carrier agent in scents - I can't remember the name of the darn stuff.
Anyway, the agent is what I am alergic to, not the scent.
Sounds like you - rose oil is expensive, so it is typically diluted with the carrier agent...

"They put a carrier agent in scents..."Sounds logical to me. It must be what concentrates and amplifies the scent to such a great degree. The natural, delicate aroma of roses gives me no problem. But I have literally gasped for breath when a woman wearing too much of the 'rose oil' perfume has stood next to me. And trust me, I ain't no wimpy/wussy guy getting a case of the 'vapors'...lol. That carrier addition may be the culprit.

a quick google says the carrier agents are typically grape or nut oil, and make up 75% of the fragrence, while the rose oil is 25%.
Which explains that - I am allergic to grapes. Can't even drink wine.
(Whisky is ok...LOL)

In my first year of law school in contracts class I loaned my jacket to a very pretty classmate who was complaining that she was cold. When I put the jacket on after class for the ride home on my motorcycle, the allergic reaction to her perfume on the jacket was so severe that I was bedridden for three days.
I never saw that coming.

When fragrances make a person physically ill - YES. Its the same as smoking. Its also called consideration. If I didn't have this proven medical problem and worked with someone who couldn't handle fragrances, I wouldn't think twice about not wearing it.
