Yes just tell her one-on-one, and politely, of course. Humor is always good.
Since you like personal anecdotes cbelt I'll share one:
I had this happen just this week. I went to a friend's house and her young son was at home. Turns out he's allergic to perfumes. I had on Chanel Chance, my favorite, just a dab. I just went to a sink and scrubbed if off my wrists. No big deal.
I'm glad to know this about her son so I won't wear perfume when I know I'll be around him.
No one wants to contribute to other people's discomfort and will avoid it if they can, but they do have to know about it.
