What about ‘secondhand’ perfume?

So much attention has been given to secondhand smoke effects on children and innocent bystanders. Researchers say it can cause cancer, trigger asthma attacks and destroy the public's confidence in medical caregivers who smoke.

Some health care systems have gone so far as to test prospective employees to see if they smoke before hiring, then test to see if they smoke after they're hired.

Here's my question: What about the people who bathe in perfume, cologne or aftershave?
Have you ever been on an elevator and, when the door closes, you're overcome by someone's perfume? It can take your breath away, make your eyes water and even leave you feeling nauseated.

If you're asthmatic, the last thing you need is to stand next to someone reeking of perfume, cologne or aftershave.
Has there been any research to study the effects of too much perfume on people?
Have companies not hired people because they wear too much perfume?
Have co-workers complained about being next to someone who reeks of perfume? Probably not.

But instead of targeting just smokers, we should look at other things that can affect the quality of the air around us.
Anyone for sniffer police or odor scanners?
