Consider the Air

Please refrain from using perfume and cologne.

Consider your fellow classmates who may have respiratory issues or sensitivities to fragrance. We ask that you refrain from using perfumes and colognes while in Osher’s classrooms.

"Thank you so much for asking members to refrain from using scents! My husband and I have respiratory allergies that are aggravated by perfumes and other heavy scents. This has been a problem for us in many of our classes. I appreciate Osher addressing this issue."

"THANKS SO MUCH for asking people to skip scents. I have a very hard time with them. They make my ears close! No fun when you're trying to listen. :-)"

"Thank you for announcing the skip the scent policy. One of my classes, I ended up dropping because of the cloud of perfume and other products I was forced to breathe in. I can kind of take it for one class, and then go home and collapse. But that day, I had two classes, and I felt like I'd been run over by the end of the second one."
