I can see why you would have an issue with the scent industry after this.

I was especially concerned about my cat, but none of the scents have been an issue with him. I did not use orange because this is something known to be offensive to cats.

About half a dozen friends have been asked if they could detect the scent, even if it was running in another room. None could. One of the friends is employed in an industry where detecting scent is part of his job. He couldn’t detect it, either.

You must have been up against an extraordinary scent diffuser or you are unusually sensitive in that area. I do sympathize because I am that way with sound. I have to go to extraordinary means, including buying expensive equipment and even leaving my house for hours at a time. And yes, I am deeply resentful of it.
