I think this is kind of what I was referring to. A keen sense of smell (or someone over-sensitive in other areas, like I am with noise) can definitely be seen as intolerant. However, if it's a working environment, even us intolerant folks need to be able to concentrate. My current officemate and I have an agreement that he can play NPR, which doesn't distract me, but Van Halen is right out. And personally, I would love to have the scent of a vanilla candle around me as I work, but I think people who are allergic or intolerant need to be in consensus that this would be a good thing. Again, personally, someone burning patchouli around me would be on my hit list. For some reason, heavy patchouli makes me nauseous. Even a small amount does. It has to be a very dainty droplet of that scent, mixed in with lots of other things, for me to stomach it.
