I was ok with noise, but not smells. I prefer a neutral envt with no smells. Even hated cooking aroma. I stopped wearing perfume, told my hubs to get ready in another room away from me as i hated his perfume. I would cover my nose, or apply/sniff essential oil.

Its hard to totally avoid people/ crowd so I usually try to walk away when its loud/ I can't take the scent. I share this with my hubby so he's more aware when we go out too, and will fan me/ try his best to block the noises when he notice my face changes!

Ok with noise for me. Yes, it's the smell/scent. I even started hating the scent of pineapple. My suggestion, walk away /and get away.

Ok with noise but can’t take the smell! I’ll cover my nose and quickly escape
