Mixed thoughts on this. I can't walk into a Yankee Candle store or something similar without my chest tightening up and finding it difficult to breathe. Same thing in a department store's perfume section. And yet, once in a while I will dab on some Old Spice aftershave or some Bay Rum, and it doesn't bother me.
I think that some perfumes/colognes of the nickle a gallon type and some of the super expensive parfum brands must be delicately used to be enjoyed.
Every now and then someone passes by me and they stink to high heaven of some obnoxious fragrance.....I hold my breath and wait for a few seconds.
We DO live in a free country, so we can't start prohibiting things that others find offensive. Just need to be aware and keep things like this in mind..
