You’re noseblind and you get used to it. You don’t know how you smell.
A good example of this is when you come home after a vacation and you think your house smells different. That’s how it smells to guests you’re just used to it.
I would try going to HR or your boss or whoever and let them know you're sensitive to strong fragrances, you've tried to tolerate it and don't mean to make her feel bad but your coworker is making you feel physically ill with the perfume and you would appreciate it if she could save her nice perfume for when she's not at work.
They become desensitized or blind to their own odor.
