I don't know

Why does Polly say: "That doesn't really concern me"?

She is too cool to talk to people like Richard

This is incorrect. Polly is "cool", there's no doubt, but she is not "too cool".

She doesn't care that Richard's wife likes Delavigne perfumes

Polly says that she is not concerned with Richard's wife's affection for Delavigne perfumes because this information does not help her resolve the technical problems of the company. It should be clear from Polly's tone of voice that she is disinterested in Richard's remark. The expression "that doesn't concern me" in English conveys a sense of disinterest or lack of concern.

She is not worried about Richard's wife's observations

This is incorrect. Although "to be concerned" is synonymous with "to be worried" in certain contexts, it is not the case in this dialogue.

She does not participate in Delavigne's perfume production

Polly's phrase is unrelated to her participation in perfume production. The expression "that doesn't concern me" does not express that one is not involved or "implicated" in an action.
