They gave us a list of suggested unscented, fragrance free, hypoallergenic laundry and hygiene items. I would be saying you have a problem with the smell of soap and water? I doubt many people would exaggeratedly sniff their coworker and say ugh, Chanel No. I would love to see someone tell all my coworkers who smoke that they have to quit because Purple Jello has an allergy.). But Id be pretty cranky if someone at work told me I had to stop using some hygiene product unless it was REALLY egregiously strong-smelling (looking at you, beloved Soap and Glory lotion that I wont wear in public). We have no HR director, the owner refuses to address this. First of all, if there REALLY is a smell, even a very faint one, that shes making a big deal about it, you have shown her that you are and have dealt with it and now the matter is settled.

Even the most lightly-scented of shampoos can leave a smell.

Im going to talk to my manager about a possible accommodation (e.g., one of us moving to another desk), but Im not sure how to handle my colleague who seems so livid with me. I am sensitive to fragrance. If someone was spraying any form of Febreeze, *I* would go to the Manager. And that smell near OP could be interpreted that way by the co-worker. We still see each other fairly regularly Because Kids and its extremely jarring that he looks the same but smells wrong. I really hope thats not it. This was my initial thought as well. Theres a specific inexpensive powder wallgreens sells. I think Alison has asked us not to read race into letters because it can become derailing and its all speculation. But this fragrance is Dior! just to watch her reaction. I think it becomes a way to get attention, vent frustration, or just ensure that others are as miserable as the complainer. (It just fell in!

Maybe others are more accommodating, but I personally would do what I think is reasonable under the circumstances, and then after that its kind of her problem, not one that I can control for. Its so heavily scented (even the I scented version) that it will likely be much much worse. She needs a personal air filter, and to leave the OP alone. Wow. Even if it turns out that there is something about the OP that triggers the co-worker, it seems to me that its become a problem that the co-worker (and possibly the employer) needs to work out. Youve really gone out of your way to accommodate her, and she truly cant expect (or reasonably ask) for more. If your coworker has Aspergers or some kind of sensory processing disorder, they could go through a doctor to have HR find them accommodations away from other people. 1. Oh absolutely, Id figure thats part of the process, but it could still help get rid of some smells, assuming the vinegar smell washes out after . Its not a unilateral street. It was rather sad! Scent-free initiatives always seem so invasive to me. But if she has a life-threatening allergy thats on a hair trigger, youd have to ask coworkers and their families to change everything in their routines, and Im still not sure it would work.

Just wondering if a pattern can be established regarding the coworker. who CANNOT DEAL with the fact that a person doesnt eat cheese.

If youve been sniffling for weeks or months, you can rule out a cold, Dr. Reisman says. For instance, if you're on the phone with a customer, do not hang up on them as soon as they start cursing. I had a coworker who happened to have her desk right below one of the (old) building's AC vents, and she would sniffle / cough at least several times every single hour. Plus, it may turn out that many of OPs scent-sensitive strategies are unnecessary, and that they can indeed wear some scented products. Im very self-aware of scents I give off though, so its easy for me to find a substitute. Thank you! I also let them know Im ever so grateful they are taking my health concerns seriously. It ends up sounding very similar to waves at the ocean, which would also probably work well for . Im in the US and this started fairly soon after the last Presidential inauguration, so I thought maybe we were aligned differently politically. You can smell her a mile away. My cat peed on a mattress after a surgery and I could not get the smell out of my nose. I was like its okay to wear it, but you CANNOT keep spraying that stuff in a common work area (it was an answering service and the supervisor desk was on a raised platform so you could see the whole room,) and she was totally immersing herself in stuff. There could be other causes: Now she recognizes that shes gotten more sensitive, but for years she would accuse everyone and every restaurant of over-spicing their foods. Shame and guilt. Yep, I worked at a Panda Express for a few months almost 10 years ago. Theres also one interesting study that indicates some peoples chemical sensitivity is indistinguishable from an anxiety hyperventilation response, and another that indicates anti-anxiety treatment was helpful in mitigating a fragrance sensitivity.

This should prevent any other smells from entering her nose. When a guy opens up to you, he has feelings for you. The reason to ask someone who doesnt live with you is that we can stop smelling things after a while, so a partner or roommate might not be able to smell it either. Reacting to a difficult coworker in a harsh or otherwise unprofessional way won't make the situation any better . I completely agree. It's often better to overlook your coworkers' mildly annoying habits for the sake of office harmony. I bake a lot and once had a coworker complain about my perfume, which was actually the fact that my house tends to smell like cookies! In those cases, if I have to eat around those people, I spend a LOT of time getting up to use the bathroom, flitting around the room to tidy/wash dishes, and otherwise avoiding and noise-covering as covertly as possible until it ends.).

For scent specific examples: Someone using scented shampoo, fine, using so much hairspray, the scent fills the room, not fine, a bit of perfume the average person cant smell unless they are rubbing elbows, fine, a cloud of perfume, not fine. OP, could that be the source? I think Alisons advice is bang on, and the mediated conversations/HR accommodation advice is going to be important for snapping Coworker out of her combative/belittling behavior and into a more productive vibe. Um no. Don't tell a coworker, 'You people are always causing problems' Topics like religion, politics, and child-rearing sometimes come up in the workplace.

OP, I think the strongest scent I wear is from my shampoo/conditioner, and theyre as close to unscented as it can get. Asking a coworker to switch soaps is ridiculous. Those are lengths to which I am totally unwilling to go to accommodate someone at work and I feel are things that no one has the right to ask of a coworker. I wear a peppermint lotion on my hands that I can hold to my nose to clear it, and just deal with it. It's driving me crazy at times. Maybe its something as easy as lingering scent in a jacket; if you dont wear the jacket the scent isnt there. I was thinking the same thing! Long before this point, my response would have reverted to These are the products I use. (LW, you have been so funny in the comments) My guess from your other comments is that the particular scent of patchouli bothers her and that its lingering somewhere like your hair, your car, something.

The friction of interacting with an annoying co-worker actually presents a chance to cultivate essential leadership skills like assertiveness, self-awareness and confidence. I agree with you that the OP has already done a lot and the coworker is being snarky. All Rights Reserved. Does coworker comment on every male in the office that uses cologne or Old Spice deodorant? It was little facts about her here and there at first but it built up to him mentioning her 10 times in one day, which is when I broke down and talked to him about how uncomfortable it made me. It was something I was putting in every wash, and I had been unconsciously upping the amount of vinegar over time. Im going to ask that we stop with those suggestions now and instead focus on how she should deal with the coworker, which I think will be more helpful to her. Not to sound unkind, but Im not double-washing my entire wardrobe in vinegar and different detergent, throwing out candles, etc. She should take this up with the manager, not with you directly, and certainly not with little cutting comments instead of direct requests.

Sneaky jerks. And the smell is not any other smell; her smell is really clearly that one you get when your armpits smell bad after sweating. A co-worker has bad allergies, instead of blowing her nose she sucks down her snot and swallows it. Making up a story about how you're going to adjust your perfume doesn't accomplish that either. I agree that it seems that this person is harassing or bullying her. I met my husband while I was working as a pizza cook at Chuck E. Cheese. I have miso and I sniffle.
