Have you considered that the policies are working correctly for most people with a “normie” communication style? I agree that they should be clearer. However, when I read your description of what they are saying, I think the rule makes sense. It isn’t that everything must be entirely fragrance-free. The intended rule seems to be nothing strongly scented. For example, I’ve met women who use scented shampoo, but you don’t notice it on them even when you are close to them. I’ve also met women who you immediately smell the scent of their shampoo from 3 feet. It seems they are basically asking that people use reasonable judgment. That may not be sufficient for extremely sensitive people, but it will address a lot of the problem. By having it in their code of conduct, they can ask people to leave if it is a problem.
Your Beantown Stomp statement seems to be the proper way to communicate the actually intended policy.
