Dear World,

Why do some women find it necessary to wear enough perfume to be
smelled from several feet away?

And through cube walls?

No love,

Little Miss Scent Allergy

You're the third person I know now who has a scent allergy or similar chemical sensitivity. This is why I will never, ever wear perfume--you end up being a total inconsiderate fucking douchebag without even knowing it! Nobody wins.

There are actually only a couple of scents I'm allergic too, but I'm super sensitive to the petrochemicals used in conventional perfumes to increase their longevity. Like, most essential oils are fine for me. I wear tons of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab stuff.

Interesting! Three different people have three very different kinds of sensitivities, which I suppose is no surprise.
