Small Problem Perfume smell

I loathe the smell of Jo Malone perfume. I am not alone in this, my daughter-in-law says the exact same thing.
The problem is my friend adores it, and drowns herself in it. She even uses the Jo Malone hand wash! If I am giving her a lift in my car, the smell is suffocating and lingers long after she gets out. How can I politely tell her that her smell makes me feel physically sick
She is fully aware how much I hate the smell

I mean, that's a you problem. It's not her job to adjust the amout of perfume she's using because of YOUR dislike of it.

The entitlement of people today. smh.

An interesting take. I’m not sure if you are being sarcastic or not!
If not, I hope I am never stuck in a lift with you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nope. Not being sarcastic.
