I experience the first set of powers, and I hate it. Every detergent, shampoo, deodorant I use is "sensitive", "baby formula" or whatever.

And a few years ago some deodorant company started using some I guess artificial compounds that just pushes the air out of my lungs, it's so bad. I can not only smell it, it digs into my forehead.

    I get this with pretty much all perfumes, scented candles, tobacco smoke (oh god the tobacco smoke) and extinguished matches and candles.

    With some people I wonder how they can exist with so much perfume poured over themselves that I can't breathe while walking behind them. I just don't understand.

    An upside of being smell sensitive is that it helps with debugging electronics. Burnt parts smell very obvious, and I can even smell hot stuff like heatsinks.
