i'm super reactive to lilac scented anything. when i was
doing part-time work at the library i'd dread some of the
older ladies who poured that stuff on right before they
walked out the door of their house. my cow-orkers were ok
knowing that and they would intercept them and take care
of them if they could. sometimes i just had to hold my
breath as much as i could.
