i dont think preference for no perfume/cologne or no smoking is typically seen as discriminatory from a legal standpoint, is it?

my workplace has a no perfume/cologne policy, and we have lawyers on staff, so itd be interesting to find out it is.

the fun begins when it appears to be a stand-in for a protected class.

"No perfume" is pretty simple, but "no smelling like curry" would clearly be at or over the line.
