People Who Are Allergic?

I try to work with the problem. An officemate used to be very allergic so I switched to using scented lotions and that didn't seem to bother her. So I tone it down when I can. In some ways, it is like smoking and the fact that it does bother some people while it doesn't bother others. I am not making a commentary on second hand smoke. Just mentioned that as a similar example. :-)

Strong scents give me headaches. I can't stand incense or strong candles or people who douse themselves with perfume. Since I work in retail, sometimes I hold my breath when little old ladies come up to me reeking of some old heavy fragrance.

I do wear perfume (though not often). I just spray one wrist and rub it onto the other one. I never put perfume on my neck, because the scent will be in my face all day long.

So best thing I can suggest is that if you work closely with them, lay off the scents a bit. You may not realize it but you might be laying on the perfume/colognes a bit thick. I know some people who spray their wrists, their neck, their hair... SCENT OVERLOAD! People will smell you coming a mile away.
