No. I know the owner. She tells me that she loves perfume and wishes that
she could wear it but that she can't because some of her customers are
allergic. She also practices Naturopathy in there and at times has other
Drs. and various practitioners come in for things. I just find it strange
that they would make the rule and then also sell scented products! I have
issues with scented candles and generally don't like them, especially when
there are all sorts of mixed scents together. Not allergic but just don't
like them. So I never go to that part of the store.
