I am one of those people to an extent. Most colognes, most aerosols, and some perfumes give me an instant headache and a weird taste in my mouth just from smelling them. If it is too strong it will also make me nauseous. I've also noticed that I don't have this issue with more expensive perfumes/colognes nor body sprays(body sprays in general, not just expensive ones). However I adjust MY life accordingly. If somebody wears something that bothers me I try to avoid that area, or take a deep breath go in and attempt to get what I need to do done and leave again before I need breathe again. On top of that I don't actually smell what most people do with most of these odours. People will comment about how a spray smells like apples or berries and I get no trace of that. To me it smells like I just walked into a chemical plant, or at least what I assume one would smell like. Another woman in my department has the same issue only she's worse. Like myself however she just adjusts her life accordingly. Basically unless you're wearing enough cologne that people can smell you before they see you or you're spraying poo poo near her; gently caress that lady.

I'm the same way but I don't make a thing of it. Cheap perfume/cologne makes me gag and dizzy but I just avoid those that wear it if possible or get away from it as best I can.

My wife tells me about someone at her office like the chick in the OP, had her own professional pamphlets to pass out to everyone about her 'disability.' If anyone comes to her desk to hand her some paperwork or tries to get her to do her job, she starts getting choked up and needs an hour outside to clear her delicate senses.

Is this a phenomenon purely with women? I'd love to meet a dude who tried to behave like this.

unless someone is literally spraying that person with cheap perfume or whatever or she's having an allergic reaction, she's overacting. I get nauseous/dizzy when I smell cheap perfume/cologne but it goes away soon as I leave the area or it dissipates.

I work maybe six feet from the bathroom the morbidly obese dudes on the floor use to drop their thrice daily greasy, gas-laden White Castle/Chipotle/Gold Star shits. Also sometimes the trap in the floor drain dries out and the scent of six floors worth of fat white people shits wafts over my desk.

I'm not even sure I have a sense of smell anymore, or if I'm just mimicking the reactions of my less dead on the inside and husk-like co-workers.

Take that sheet, go to HR, state that it makes you feel that they are singling you out (whether this is true or not doesn't matter), tell them you feel like this is making it a hostile work environment. Those will be down in a matter of hours.

There was a time when goons used to gis a topic and post a screenshot of all the creepy stuff on page 1 that cameup as proof the topic was bad or w/e and it was always hilarious when other people pointed out that search results are tailored to personal browsing history.

I worked for the federal government in a very large office (about 3k employees) and there's a no-fragrance policy for the whole building. There is also a no fish policy for a large part of the building because one woman claims to be so allergic to fish that the MERE SCENT OF A FISH will kill her. (The cafeteria in the middle of the building, which you must walk past in order to get to any offices serves fish at least once a week.)

Once, my buddy went to McDonalds and bought a McChicken and asked them to wrap in in a Filet'o'fish wrapper. Sat near the fish lady at lunch and took it out. Started eating it so the wrapper was visible from where she was. She starts freaking out about how she CAN'T BREATHE:byodame: and NEEDS TO GET SOME AIR and starts choking and poo poo. Anyway, my point is, eat the rich.
