Well, I'm one of those people who is highly sensitive to perfumes -- it
affects allergies and asthma.
Yes, it is an issue when working in the "office" world.

Subject: OFF-TOPIC question about an office thing
The reason for my posting this to this forum is that most listmembers
work in offices. I don't; I work from a home office.
Perhaps someone here has some relevant experience with this kind of
thing and would be willing to share. Right now, I view this issue as
being quite rare and nearly unheard of. Yet, I may well be wrong.
My long-term girlfriend works as a manager in an office of a
foundation and a co-worker of lower rank has been complaining that her
(my
girlfriend's) perfume makes her sick or nauseated. My girlfriend does
not wear heavy perfume. You can hardly tell that she's wearing any
perfume at all. Her perfume does not cause complaints from anyone else.
Is this kind of thing an issue in offices? Thanks for your wisdom.
