Perhaps you could tell him you are "allergic" to his cologne
and ask him to not wear it.  You wouldn't have to go into
detail about exactly *how* it affects you.  And it would be a
good idea to suggest one or two other colognes he might like
to which you know you're not "allergic".  If you make it clear
that other men have worn that particular cologne and you had
the same reaction to it, he should be able to take your comments
less personally.  But I definitely do not think you should
suffer in silence -much less freeze in the machine room.  A
good working relationship is one in which such matters can be
discussed - maybe you should (gently) point that out to him.
