There really should be a law against excessive (and by "excessive," I mean "any") use of Polo cologne. With a severe sentence enhancer for such use in crowded public places. And triple time if the offense is committed before I've had my morning coffee.
Ew.
Fragrance sensitivity has been part of the independent living philosophy for quite some time. Some of them (in CA anyway) even have the statement, please refrain from wearing fragrances, on their stationery. Some public meeting notices I have seen from groups focusing on disability issues state they advise folks to refrain from fragrances. Perhaps some day we can put the perfume industry out of business? ; - )

I can't agree with you more -- and I think it should go for ANY cologne, anywhere. It makes me nauseous and gives me a headache!

And wouldn't you know, after this topic was posted, I was riding the bus to work this morning and of course, someone with a heavy fragrance had to sit near me! I considered moving elsewhere in the bus but no room as it was rush hour.
