Pathetic perfume peeve

I know, I know, I KNOW this is completely pathetic. Blush I guess this is more a gripe than anything, so excuse me venting here:

My DS comes home from creche (I think that's what you call a nursery in the UK) smelling like a mixture of 4 different perfumes!!!

It is reassuring that he is getting heaps of cuddles (he is really affectionate oh and 11 months old). We have no allergies but it does somehow annoy me.

Anyone else had this??

Not quite the same but my mum always seems to put on really strong perfume like chanel no 5 when she comes to my house. Problem is my dd (9months) hates all perfume esp strong ones and starts to cry if anyone wearing it goes near her. So dd always cries when mum picks her up etc and then mum starts on the 'gosh she really is a misery isn't she?' really pi##es me off. I do think that perfume can't be good for kids though in large strong quantities. Would it maybe trigger asthma if a child was susceptible? TBH it would annoy me if one of the kids came back reeking.
