Any one else have scent sensitivity?

22. I used Vicks also. Learned about that when I started working the shipyards decades ago.

The menthol will reduce the "nose tickle" sensation, headache, and eye watering for the most part. Sometimes lavender oil will help along with the Vicks if it's really bad. Sometimes it makes it worse, depending on how much and what type of alcohol is used in the distillation.
I hate strong cologne (too much alcohol), especially the musky ones or ones that don't balance the citrus and petroleum based sweet floral scents so it smells like detergent.
Masking is the only other option. But that doesn't protect the eyes from watering near someone who bathed in cologne to mask the fact they pulled an all night pub crawl and only spent 15 minutes at home to change clothes, comb their hair, and spray themselves them with cologne to mask the smell of booze and sweat.
