Something funny happened at work earlier in the week, I wore an expensive perfume that I really love to work, but the funny thing is that HR called my attention that someone complained about it to him. Am I not able to have a small joy when going into the office? Do you think I should stop wearing the perfume to work? What will you do if you were in my shoes?

Scents really have no place in a work environment. Most places have a no-perfume policy, and I am a big supporter of that. I'm lucky to not be sensitive to scents, but I know a lot of people who get terrible headaches from a whiff of perfume. They shouldn't have to navigate that at work.

I honestly didn’t think about how scents could affect others that way, because for me it was just a small thing that made my day better at work.

In nursing school/training, orientation, it’s always emphasized that no perfume because of patients a possibility of intolerance or sensitivity

A lot of work places have a no perfume policy these days. It may not seem strong to you but it may be to someone else.

True, it didn’t seem like a big deal to me at first, but I get it now, I just wish the policy had been made clearer from the start.

Some people really have a bad reaction to perfume, so it's often inadvisable in the workplace. I've worked around people wearing it and it didn't bother me, but I've known of coworkers were practically allergic to various scents.

True, I’ve never had issues myself so it caught me off guard. Definitely something to be more mindful of from now henceforth.

Is that a company policy to not wear it?

I'd probably listen to the complaint and not wear the perfume to work. And wear it when off duty
