Dealing (politely) with smelly colleague!

stateofindependence

I work in a small office with colleagues I get on with, but one has started wearing some absolutely revolting perfume, which stinks out the whole office even with windows open. It smells like a cross between grandma's nastiest talcum powder and cat litter-tray deodorant.

Has anyone had any success broaching such issues without causing upset?

    Nobody else may have mentioned it but you could perhaps ask if another colleague has noticed it and is being too polite to say anything.

    Have you tried wearing your own perfume/deodorant to see if that blots out the other person's perfume?
