6. Please reconsider...

About 30% of the population has chemical sensitivities triggered by chemicals used in scented products. I am one--triggers asthma and migraines. I was literally driven out of my last apartment because a neighbor used it a lot. It drifts into adjoining units like secondhand smoke. Even if your relative likes it, a neighbor may become ill from it.

A person without their full faculties would not be able to tell you that it was making them ill. It could make them miserable.

Just a thought...
