A fragrance sensitivity is an allergic reaction to certain scents, usually caused by an unusually sensitive olfactory system.
Du Heng has had an exceptionally sharp sense of smell since childhood, so, unfortunately, he developed a fragrance sensitivity.
Born with a "dog's nose," he can't stand many everyday odors. Even the faintest scent he dislikes can put him in a bad mood for ages.
Over time, he became known in his circle as a fussy, difficult man.
One day, after another blind date failed because Du Heng couldn't stand the awful smell, he happened upon a little bakery giving off a lovely, nostalgic aroma.
Inside the tiny bakery lived a girl with a sunflower-bright smile and a faint scent of caramel.
Following the fragrance, Du Heng pushed open the door and approached her, only to have another bout of fragrance sensitivity.
This time, though, he was intoxicated by the scent and couldn't tear himself away.
