I'm not sure I have anything constructive to add to this, except to say that I was on the train yesterday, and the scent of laundry detergent from my seatmate sent me reaching for inhalers and carbon filter masks.
when people stay at our house, we wash all of their clothes before they get to bring their luggage into the living areas. PITA? yes, definitely. But then I get to breathe so ...
(I continue to think that my only recourse when I go outside the house is a mask; I was going to say I don't use scents for anything, but that's not entirely true (for meditation focus, occasionally) so I think I understand using scent to manage other body issues, etc. and I wouldn't want to be the person who made life hell for someone else either.)
