perfume and rude people

there are a few personal space affronts that will really piss me off
prretty much the main one is when somebody on a train or bus (or any enclosed space) is wearing too much perfume.
I find it to be like an assault and it usually makes me really really angry and i fume inwardly til i'm able to escape.
people need to realize that some people have very negative physical reactions to perfume. as in i get headaches and feel sick to my stomach when i can't escape it.
i don't dislike perfume. i like if somebody goes by and a faint whiff of something pretty teases my nose. or when you lean in to hug somebody and that warm faint smell of somebodys perfume is there, mild and mysterious and worn in just the right amount.
but so many women just load it on.. as though everybody within 10 feet must be able to smell them for it to be worth anything.
adn that's just mean , gross and offensive.
i hate perfume when it's anything stronger than the lean-in to smell it (or the trailing faint whiff as they pass by, as i said) it smells like alcohol, chemicals and cloying things .
so fucking don't pour on the perfume. some people are allergic, some people just have strong reactions to it, and it's downright rude.
so there.
