Strong odors (as noted in other comments) can cause physical distress to a sensitive individual.
Every office I’ve worked in has had a policy related to odors.
The same policy covers perfumes and body odor.
Check your handbooks people!
I wish the places I’ve worked at had a policy like that. I always kind of hated the smell of popcorn because of how it lingers and it’s very popular in communal offices. But even more so, wearing perfume or cologne inside of an elevator should be a crime.
Any time I used to bring anything with so much as a waft of cumin for lunch, the bitchy conservative office manager would complain.
I now happily WFH.
That just sounds like the perfect opportunity to eat Indian food for lunch every day at work.

We’re an office of 4 people. There’s no HR dept, no handbook, just chaos. I’m never leaving.
And I bet if she hadn’t been a bitch about it then gradually_adjusting wouldn’t have said anything about it just now.
People tend to want to get along until someone starts being a bitch.
Granted they might be exaggerating, but we only have what we have to go by.
