I am not speaking of those who use fragrance correctly, it when a person sits 3 tables over, and all you can smell is their Cologne or perfume.
Waitress boxed up two tables, sitting next to his table, that couldn’t continue their meal. So maybe not a life threatening issue, but causing one to loose their appetite just makes your dining experience sad.

If my life choices causes impact to you, then I would make changes. Just like sitting next to a heavy smoker, when you don’t smoke.

I don’t worry about things I can’t change, but many things I can change so I don’t have to worry.
your post hits home: i'm a smoker who wears perfume, lol, but i have 1 family member & friends who cannot stand either scent, odor. it's these times i hold off wearing any, or smoking before i see them. (it a small thing to avoid any issues.) maybe try sitting outside when around people who overindulge? ...& is it less bothersome when someone wears high quality fragrance? years ago they had this joan collins scent, "scoundrel.' --i swear that stuff smelled like gasoline
