Oh damn... good question. Personally I just decided to grin & bear it... now that it is warmer, I can just crack the window. ugh
 
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."
