I know exactly what you mean. I have no idea why companies think that everything has to have a scent that overpowers everything else. There is one certain kind of flower that really bothers me. I stopped by the florist one time and bought an arrangement to take to my daughter. Well, whatever those things were, we both had trouble with them. I finally took the vase and flowers out to the nurses’ station and said, “hey, you can have these, they do not like us”. I even have to check the shampoo for smells. I look funny going down the aisle opening first one and then the next one trying to find one that would not make me ill. It is no fun having any kind of respiratory problem. It is very frustrating since just about every company out there seems to be on if it smells so loud it can be smelled all over the house, then it must be better!
I found lilies to be particularly irritating for allergies. When our church has them out for Easter, there’s a number of people who can’t go in the sanctuary.
