I'm not terribly allergy-prone, but perfume completely destroys me. I had the unfortunate experience of sitting near (not next) to a heavily perfumed person on a plane to London. It was horrible and I wish perfume was illegal on airplanes! (Of course, on the way back I sat NEXT to someone who needed a bath.
)
I see someone who wears a lot of perfume at work in the same way I see someone who wears skimpy clothes to the office. It's unprofessional and distracting they need to be talked to.....and stop. If this woman didn't stop, then she deserved to lose her job.
