    Most healthcare facilities have a policy about wearing TOO much perfume or scent -but do not forbid wearing some. The problem is that some people get used to what they wear and keep putting on too much. Wearing too much scent is a nuisance to most people, but not dangerous. Unfortunately, some people are very allergic and even a small amount can make them sick. If someone is offending others, their supervisor should be notified and the supervisor should talk to the employee. For a patient that is sensitive to scents - a sign should be posted on their door and only employees without perfume or scented products (including scented soaps and deodorant) should enter the room.

    It would be nice to have a strict policy forbidding use of perfumes, but difficult to enforce - especially when so many personal products are scented.
