"Small amounts of perfume are perfectly acceptable especially when detected whilst at close quarters with the wearer."

Sorry, but that isn't true. The overwhelming majority of perfumes contain synthetic chemicals, many that are documented as hazardous by the EPA and other organizations. There are links to cancer, asthma, birth defects and disorders of the central nervous system.

Please, do a little research on this. It is easy to make statements like "there is no problem with wearing perfume" because we are all products of marketing that makes this appear to be innocent.

Years ago people would not think twice about throwing litter out of their cars. Today we have learned and most people would not do something so stupid. The idea of problems with scents is so foreign to people that they do not wish to take the time to really listen to what the problems can be.

No, you probably won't drop dead by splashing some Old Spice after shaving, but you do not know what that stuff can be doing to you or others around you.
