I had an experience myself which was not dissimilar to yours. I boarded a CX flight to the US, and was in the J mini-cabin on the 777. The gentleman across the aisle was wearing cologne so incredibly pungent that it started to give me a headache - the sort that develops into a migraine. It was so overpowering I was having trouble working out where it came from so quietly asked a crew member if I was right in thinking it came from the gentleman in question and she agreed that it was, and was very very strong. So I politely spoke to him and said that this was very much my problem, not his, but that I was having a reaction to the cologne and it was making me feel quite unwell. I emphasised several times I was not criticising him, it was my problem not his, but I really would be grateful if he would wash it off. He was incredibly apologetic, and the crew member I spoke to before bustled up with a tray full of hot towels, and five minutes later everyone was happy.

Of course, some DYKWIA's won't be so considerate. For those occasions, point out that the smell is offensive and is making you feel ill. Ask them politely to desist, or perhaps to keep the smell localised by using it on a handkerchief. And then, if the miscreant persists, point out that under HK law (which applies onboard a CX or KA aircraft), administration of a noxious thing to another person with intent to aggrieve or annoy them can be a criminal offence. I have abbreviated the essential elements of the offence (hence "can be" rather than "is" a criminal offence) but it should be enough to make them rethink.

And if you want to quote the section - section 23 of the Offences Against the Person Ordinance
