Maybe they didn’t realize they put too much perfume on.
From the internet:
<< With advancing age, the ability of humans to detect and discriminate odors declines. In light of the rapid progress in analyzing molecular and structural correlates of developing and adult olfactory systems, the paucity of information available on the aged olfactory system is startling.
The decline in the ability to detect and discriminate odors in aged humans leads to a decrease in the quality of life and diminished appetite with accompanying impacts on nutritional status. Decreased olfactory function with aging parallels generalized age-related deficits in sensory functions and cognition that occur in the absence of obvious disease states. >>
