it's all over the office.lift, corridors, toilets...
apparently it's not only me who's complaining.

put some charcoals in the office... it can neturalise it.

maybe it is your nose that is sensitive... :think:

read my previous post 3rd sentence please dear.

Give him/her a weaker perfume.....

she's a office s.(try and figure what the s stands for, i dont want to blurt it).
many dislike her, so why should we/I buy anything for her?

also, weaker concentration means she'll pump more to get the smell out.
sort of defeats the purpose aint it?

 

[deckard]

just tell him lah. no need to drop hints.

 

[ernest_ted]

perhaps suggest nicely that your nose is wee bit sensitive to strong parfume, would greatly appreciate it if the person could go lightly on the parfume....

it worked for me

1) Keep coughing in front of him/her.

2) Pinch your nose.

3) If all fails.... put more perfume on yourself and mask her/him out

it's a she.
hard to do so.very 'in the face' and she may think i'm 'jealous.'

i bet you guys can smell her from where u are now.

Tell HR to post a notice that employees should not be wearing excessive perfumes?

Make HR do something useful for once.

Is she wearing the same perfume for the whole week or she change every other day?

the way to apply perfume is to dab a little, so that the smell is subtle, and only people within close range like 1-2 meters can feintly get your scent.
i really wonder HOW she apply.i think she empty one whole bottle every morning on herself.

even my office tea lady also complain.can u guys believe it?

now my office door closed, but i swear i can still smell it.

btw static, the 2nd suggestion is a little 'rude' to her.
i've no intention to make enemies but to do that, it's kind of face-tearing...:what:

If it's a him, I'm gonna faint.



Everybody wear their N95 masks on cue the moment she steps into the office.
Maybe she'll get the hint.

is she prettier than you ? i guess this lady must be in love recently... her mood is now very good. :bsmilie:

24/7.
the only time we dont get the smell is fridays when we're allowed slightly casual and she comes in in jeans.

N95 doesnt remove smell.
