I went 'other'. Yes, I can see where too much is just too much. I worked with a man who wore FAR too much on a daily basis. he too received complaints. so he stopped...and we understood then why he wore so much.
I also agree with Cherny...too few specifics to make a call based just on the article, however I know more than a few folks who are outright alergic to a great many perfumes and the like.
...and so not to detract from the initial impact and focus of the thread
