That unethical and probably illegal test gave them some valuable information but what precautions have been or could be taken against such an actual attack. I have it--require all subway travelers to wear N95 respirators--at least they're supposed to be effective against bacteria.

It seems the Amazon fragrance is mostly in the items shipped in the white bubble insulated plastic envelopes, whether they contain it already or the facilities that use them spray the items or the area with some sort of fragranced disinfectant or what, I don't know. Here is an Amazon questions and answers page, where someone posted a question about a smell to a now unavailable product in 2015, and there a few original answers from that time, but most are within the last few months about this new issue of a perfumey smell. Apparently people search the subject and this is what comes up, so they post their complaint there.
