I have a small business and my secretary wears a lot of perfume. It really upsets me because I feel like I'm wearing her perfume. She hands me papers and they all smell like perfume. Each time she walks into my office I get another cloud of perfume. Sometimes I can almost taste it.

There are other people in our office and the perfume doesn't bother anybody else. I've tried to hint indirectly that perfume bothers me without singling out anybody.

Obviously if I was more healthy psychologically I could probably cope with the perfume like everybody else.

Generally, I get very angry when another person's freedom treads on my environment: a loud car stereo, a neighbor's BBQ odors, my secretary's perfume. I'm the one with the problem, so I suppose I should just keep my mouth shut - right?

I've wondered if hypnosis would help?
