I am sensitive to smells too and have a ton of allergies...

At the bashes I have been to, I stayed in the hotel where the bash was help, so when I needed to, I went up our room to chill a bit...also there are outdoor areas to retire to.

I do always pack Benadryl and take an extra inhaler.

I'm fortunate that the only smells I'm sensitive to are

Bleach

Wet peanut butter

and

Tires....apparently some people are sensitive to the petroleum in them...who knew...??

Checking in as someone with allergies and a lot of scent sensitivities/intolerance. I can't wear perfumes, though I can minimize the effects if I spritz just a tiny bit on the back of my neck -- if it's on the front of my neck or on my wrists, I can sometimes end up sounding, looking and feeling as if I was coming down with the flu.

I'm ok if someone with me uses a small amount of scent but larger amounts, or even smaller amounts of heavily floral scents, can create a significant problem. Fortunately, the folks I tend to date don't tend to use heavily floral scents.

I can't use floral-scented soaps or lotions at all without having a significant reaction.

The fragrance in a lot of men's deodorants can be overpowering to me, as is the fragrance in a lot of heavy deodorant soaps.

I also can't tolerate most incense or any of the things that blast an area with fragrance. Can't shop even for a moment in stores that burn incense or that diffuse fragrance through the store.
