There is a huge difference between someone who applies a scent, and someone that bathes in it then drenches there clothing in perfume.

When you can smell them before you can see them it's to much


Good point. Let's have Pelosi, Obama, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission set multiple parts per million standards for various commercially-available and naturally-produced odors. They'll probably need you to testify before the hearings they hold.

You know, most people aren’t sensitive to the scent - it is the carier agent (cheap chemical scent amplifier used in most perfumes).

Just so I understand, what part of physically ill, Migraines, and cluster headaches, was not crystal clear?

What part of taking imitrex and other medications just to get through a day at the office do you find amusing?
