simple.

load up on beans before work.

let 'er rip at work.

inevitably, someone will say, "WTF is that stink?"

then you reply, pretending to be shocked, "that's not a nice thing to say about her perfume!"

crisis averted.

3 methods:

1. "Hello, HR? Can you tell <name> that she's wearing too much perfume? Thanks."
2. Get a female coworker to say to her, "a couple people mentioned that your perfume is a little strong..."
3. Tell her, "I don't know how to say this; but I don't like to talk behind people's backs. A bunch of other people in the office have been commenting that your perfume is too strong. It really doesn't bother me, but I just thought you'd want to know, since I don't think anyone has approached you about it."
4. "Hey, what brand is that?" . . . "I can always tell when someone's wearing a real name brand perfume, and not a copycat - the smell is so much stronger and lasts much longer."
