How much perfume does it take to be too much?
My friends recently told me a story that happened on their trip to Florida. A woman who was sitting next to another woman was being super sensitive to the perfume the other was wearing. Sensi-woman was so perturbed about the perfume that she had asked to get her seat moved. According to my friends, they didn't smell anything and it was obvious the sensi-woman was trying to be dramatic.
Last Thurday as I was on the train home, a woman behind me was wearing too much perfume ->To the point where my nostrils were burning, begging for reprieve. Just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore, I hear the familiar sound of a spray bottle. "OH NO SHE DIDN'T" I thought. Yes, she did. She has just added another layer to the horrible smell. Thankfully, I was close to being home.
What ever happened to a spritz or two? This is why I won't wear perfume on the train. It's just not fair to other people. When is enough - enough?

Some people are very sensitive to odors or aromas if you prefer. My wife for instance, is so sensitve to perfumes and cleaning agents that it actually makes her sick. She has very bad sinuses, and these "aromas" trigger bad reactions. Maybe the person on the plane was sensitive to perfumes. It's really hard to distinguish between someone who is trying to be difficult from someone who has a real problem.
There are also some NJT conductors (male) who wear some particularly nasty cologne.
