Bottom line is, it’s pretty hard when you live with a fragrance allergy. But it’s manageable when you know-how to deal with it.
A fragrance allergy is when you have an allergy to all scents, perfumes, synthetic perfumes and fragrances. Including some essential oils. Things like diffusers, fragranced toilet roll, scented candles, bath bombs, fragranced products, kitchen cleaners, and basically anything that smells of anything really!
Unless it’s completely organic, natural and hardly any fragrance/ scent at all. Even catching a whiff of a scent (when running for example) can affect someone with a fragrance allergy.
I’ve put a video together explaining what it feels like to have a fragrance allergy and things you can do to avoid fragrances and some key tips to living your life perfectly well.
It’s taken over 10 years of learning this so hopefully it’ll help you if you’re starting out on a fragrance-free journey.
I’ve also written about what is a fragrance allergy and what products fragrances can be found in. Hope you find it useful. Thanks for watching and reading!
