Been on three dates with this girl. We’re hitting it off, talking endlessly, doing activities together. We can’t get enough of each other. We’ve done the deed together, if that makes any difference here. On our last date, I realized that she wears this lotion that’s just intolerable for me to smell. On our first date, I really liked her smell, but I guess my nose is just not tolerating it anymore. I’d really hate to just stop seeing her over something as minor as this, but being around that smell for any length of time is just so difficult. The smell lingered around my house for a while after she left and it was just so bad.
Tl;Dr how do I tell her that her lotion smells bad?

Next time you’re in proximity with the bottle maybe try and pick it up to find the expiration, it may have gone bad since your first date. Different hormonal states can also affect the way someone smells according to things I’ve read/heard in the past.
Bro just tell her the lotion bothers your nose. Not a big deal
“What scent are you wearing? It smells so much like my grandmother used to wear.”
Get a new lotion that you think might smell “even better” than the one she uses.
“Hey I’m having such a great time hanging out with you. I think there is an ingredient in your lotion that I may be allergic to that is causing a negative reaction with me. If it’s not too much to ask, could you please not wear it next time? I really want to be fully present for our time together”
