Exactly. I wouldn't turn this into anything bigger than it needs to be.
Certainly she knows that some people have a problem with fragrances. So give her the opportunity to fix the problem. Most likely she will. Problem solved.
(And passive-aggressive comments, such as commenting on her perfume, are counter-productive. There's no need to comment on the scent, say you like it, or anything else. She's coming into your home and you don't want her to wear fragrances. That's all that needs to be said. She can't fix the problem if she doesn't know one exists.)

Yes, the oncology office where my husband goes asks that no one who comes there wear scent of any kind, including lotions, hairsprays, etc.

When you're dealing with a loved one's illness and incapacity, you're emotionally and physically exhausted and vulnerable and don't want to risk losing a good caregiver, etc. It's understandable that she might be hesitant, so we're giving her support and encouragement to do what she needs to do.

You are paying her, tell her.
No need to be rude, but get your point across.
