Hypersensitive smell: Some people are generally "hypersensitive" to intense scents and odors. If this is a recent development, you should see your physician or an otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat specialist) for evaluation.

Always?: Have you always been this way or is this something new? Some people are very sensitive this way. If it were new i'd be more inclined to search for a cause.
