If you have a particular sensitivity to stronger perfumes, you should have your doctor note that and indicate that you need to be in an area away from that source of perfume. It would not be unreasonable for the employer to ask that specific employee to not wear certain perfumes or at least to move you from that area. It would be difficult, however, to make the entire work area perfume or odor free
