I wish I could figure out whether the woman at the next desk is engaging in deliberate chemical warfare, or if she's just oblivious to how unpleasant her air freshner is and how far is spreads.

Seriously, the smell is like rotting flowers, and it's making me a little ill.

Can you find a polite way to tell her?

My first day sitting here I said something about it. She did change the specific behavior (spraying it at my desk), but I'm not sure she got the larger point.

I usually mention I'm allergic to 90% of air freshener products and that it's thus dangerous for me to have them around.

I'm not sure how to bring it up a second time without coming off as rude. I'll probably put up with it another week or two and then say something.
