Girls iv set a few boundaries for when my little lad arrives and a few family members are not happy at all with them and I can’t help feel nothing but guilt. It will be my 2nd child snd iv limited visits to 30-60min and this is one that one certain member of my family isn’t happy about and wearing perfume iv asked for no strong smelling perfume when they visit my new born and the same family member just isn’t happy at all with them. Am I being unreasonable am I being silly? I feel like im not being respected.

No not being unreasonable at all! Do not feel guilty.
Stick to with what you’re comfortable with. If they can’t respect that it says more about them

Those are such reasonable boundaries, you absolutely should not feel guilty.
You don't need to justify anything to anyone.

It's not unreasonable, to be honest in my view nothing that you want would be too much. It's your baby!! If they can't respect your rules for your new baby then maybe they shouldn't visit if they can't be respectful to you. Its hard enough recovering, managing a toddler and new baby then additional stress of family/friends not understanding your feelings.
