I have the same issue, including the husband who comes back from town smelling weird and artificial after shopping. I can't use most bedsheets and towels in Airbnbs and I've returned books that smell perfumey. I hug some people and their horrible toxic scents stick to my body and clothes and I smell them on me all day. I can't stand to be in taxis with 'air fresheners' and I travel with my own dish soap, soap, sheets etc... The worst thing is, other people totally don't get it!
We seem to be a small breed of human who actually have our sense of smell intact. I'm with you about travelling, can't stay in a room with the stench, let alone use towels or sleep on bedding with it. Yet many people expect that smell as meaning that everything is "fresh and clean"!!!!! Or else are so immune to the smell that they don't notice at all. At least it is comforting to know that i'm not alone in this anomaly.
