Does it bother you when other people wear strong perfume or after shave?

Yes, I get annoyed by this. I have two co-workers who wear wayyyyyyyy toooooo much perfume. It's so bad that I know when they're down the hall because the hall stinks of their perfume!

I can definitely say yes to your question. I have allergies too and there are some really offensive perfumes and aftershaves out there. People do not know when a little dab on the wrist or neck is enough. I think it is very rude for people to go to public places with strong smells of any kind on their bodies. It is just like smoking to me, also. I don't like to be around cigarette smoke and I don't like the smell of the nicotine. Even though there are designated smoking areas outside, the wind or air carries the smell for some distance. My sister lives in a building where the person below her chain smokes and she is having fits over it. She can't financially afford to move and yet you cannot just go to the guy and tell him his smoking bothers you when he is smoking in his own place. I am sorry but people can be really rude and I find it very offensive when they don't think about how their smells can bother other people.

My mom gets allergies and asthmatic attacks on smelling strong perfumes. She doesn't wear any for this reason alone. I do not get allergies but I do not like strong permues. I use mild spray of English Lavender and that's it.

Hi, even i like a lot a good perfume, i hate when somebody use to much perfume, cologne or after shave.
Is not elegant, and a class woman or man never use to much perfume.
Just a drop, is enaugh, what is to much just annoyed me.
Of course cheap perfume make me annoyed too, if we like to use a perfume, we must use a expensive one, good quality...

Hello PeacefulWmn9, I greatly dislike having to smell strong perfume or after shave. I also suffer from allergies and asthma. I try not to hide my disgust when someone is wearing too much by either covering my mouth and nose. It runs in the family. My mother has it so bad we had to rush her to the hospital beause she could hardly breath at all.Even soaps I have to use one that has no strong odor.So I know how you feel about too much perfume or aftershave. I find it disgusting

It doesn't bother me very very much as long as the perfume is not strong like it makes my nose itchy. I like to smell the after shave smelling because my hubby smells very good after shave:-p

Since I have a strong sense of smell, it bothers me quite a bit. It will give me a headache, sometimes it make me feel sick to my stomach and then I can even taste it in my mouth!

There is a reason perfume comes in a little bottle. A little goes a long way. You only need a drop or two. Same thing with after shave.

There are times when someone walks by wearing too much and then the smell lingers. I wonder if these people bathe in it.

I hate it when someone wears too much perfume! I almost feel like they are trying to cover up the stink when they dont shower. i used to work with a woman who took a bath in her perfume or so it smelled like it. She reeked of cheap perfume day in and day out! I never mentioned it to her but some other people pulled her aside and told her to back off on it, as in 'use less' but she never listened, she got worse! I got tired of the constant headaches I got from it and couldnt take it anymore. A bunch of us were in the elevator one day with her and I asked another co-worker 'what is that smell? it smells like Raid bug spray!'. Well, she FINALLY got the hint and stopped wearing it. I know that sounds mean but we had to do something and I was the one to do it!

I suffer from both as you do it is very bad. I have to get me a new pump friday thanks for reminding me.

I don't have asthama or allergies but I hate it when someone is wearing so much perfume or after shave that I can practically taste it. When I worked at a community college there were a few times when we had to ask a student to relocate in the open lab due to the complaints of other students about perfume and other times when I had to have my techs wipe down a workstation because it reeked long after the offending student had left.
