Not for me. I'm not allergic to perfumes but to certain scents. I don't know what the scent because i won't be able to smell it yet i'm sneezing away when i'm near it. It's weird isn't it? Luckily i'm not allergic to my bf's scent and perfumes, if not, i will be sure to make him change his perfume, to suit my likings.

Hello Karunvig! Actually I have the same problem as your colleague. It happens to me when i feel very powerful smells, especially with sweet perfumes, bleah! I really can't stand those. I got used to certain perfumes though and i don't react to them anymore. I have 4 perfumes i wear and love. But each time I added one of them to my list, i had to adjust to them :D First day I'd be sneezing like hell, second day not so much and by the third day, i wouldn't even feel them The funniest part, though is that my perfume seems to act as a shield and though i'm not aware of it, i don't feel other perfumes around me so much so no more sneezing for me :D Happy posting!

I too is allergic to over scented perfumes. There is this kind of scent that I am allergic with. Sometimes, it will not only lead me to sneezing, it also triggers my migraine and starts vomiting. So, I do not use strong scent perfumes. Colognes are more advisable for me.

I too am alergic to some perfumes specially the cheap ones got on the roadside. If someone near me is using one of those perfumes I immediately start sneezing.

I am allergic to some very strong perfumes. I sneeze or my nose gets really itchy when i smell very strong perfumes. Especially men's perfumes, i really stay away from people that puts strong perfumes so that i won't sneeze all the time.

I am allergic to certain perfumes but not all. When the smell is too mild like almost a cologne, then I don't get allergic to it. Sometimes my allergy is very selective. When the weather is good then I don't get allergies from the smell of the perfume. But if it's not I even get allergies from the smell of shampoos and conditioners.

My mother is like that if she smells perfume on people it makes her sneeze. I love smelling perfume of peoples when they walk by though it doesnt bother me at all. I went to school with a girl who was allergic to perfume. Someone sprayed perfume during class and the girl flipped out saying it will kill her if she breathes that and so she went and sat in the office. Well how was anyone supposed to know she was deathly allergic to it jeepers.

I do not have allergies to perfume my friend but sensitivity more so. As if I do not like the scents I tend to want to gag at times. I am pretty much sensitive to a great many scents, so my nose has to really like it.
