Do you have a fragrance allergy or a sensitivity to perfumes?
A fragrance allergy or sensitivity is life-changing.
It used to stress me out massively when I got diagnosed. Still tough at times – shops, being near people wearing fragrances, being careful in large social settings, travelling, walking around, the costs of buying fragrance-free products and the awareness and communication you have to have in ALL situations – work, events, places, home, travelling and social.
Hopefully, this will help explain what I’ve learnt about having one.
A fragrance allergy is an allergy to synthetic fragrances, aromas, perfumes, parfum, certain essential oils and problematic ingredients used in fragrance.
