Finally some validation! Low tolerance to scents.

I too have become very sensitive to fragrances...especially if the are heavy perfumes using essential oils...and unfortunately they linger on my clothes if I have been in contact with the person. And don't get me started on the artificial perfumes in clothes detergents, and fabric softeners and the like and scented candles etc....

It's weird but I get angry when I smell them wafting through my air as if it's a personal invasion of my space!! I usually hear myself saying, geeze what's WRONG with these people? How could they possibly LIKE these smells???? It's like they are trying to cover up something. Like they can't accept themselves in their natural state.

Well, I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. Hopefully this too shall pass.
