Do you wear perfume/cologne?

Post Reply New Topic

I can't stand odors on other people's bodies, including my own. I'm speaking of spray on odors like cologne or perfume.

Some people wear so much perfume it makes me feel sick to my stomach. I used to work with a lady that wore so much that I could tell she had been in the room even after she had left it.

I am extremely smell sensitive. The most I can put on is a very lightly scented body lotion, I refer vanilla. (very calming)
There have been so many times that I have smelled a product on the shelf only to get it home and have to give it away or throw it because of the scent.
I get serious headaches with other peoples odors.

The smell of fragrance is so grossly magnified in me that I have become allergic to it.

can't stand them--make me sneeze, have asthma attacks, and get headaches.

I'm hypersensitive to smells (eg, I had to drop my photography class because the chemical smells made me feel sick and triggered off migraine headaches), therefore I don't wear scents and I hate having to be close to people wearing strong scents. Unfortunately my brother uses a LOT of really pongy cologne.... I can't go into the bathroom after him if he's been in there recently using the stuff.

I refuse to wear anything that has an odor/scent (they give me headaches), but if I absolutely have to be around somone wearing perfume or cologne, I can stand it, but I won't be able to anything else but focus on not getting upset at the smell. Why do people need that stuff, anyway?

The worst for me is fragranced powders. And the person who decided it was a good idea to put fragranced powder into aerosol cans should DIE!! !

I use perfume. I don't have a sensitivity to it unless it's the cheap stuff, which tends to have a lot of alcohol in it, or if someone's loaded it on.

For the most part, the only thing I wear is deodorant. If I wear perfume, it's only the tiniest ammount.

I don't wear anything but on the rarest of times. Right now I do not even own any cologne.

Occassionally I might put a little bit of perfume on but otherwise I don't bother. One time I remember wearing perfume and it giving me a headache and making me sneeze and feel horrible so I avoided it for a while after that. I'm okay with wearing it during the day but if I go to bed with it on then I cant sleep and feel sick, so I have to wash it off completely (which is hard to do ) beforehand so I don't transfer it to my sheets.
There was a certain relief teacher at school who wore so much perfume you could smell her halfway down the corridor - I never wanted to sit in the front of the room when she was teaching because I had a headache within 2 minutes of the class starting.

Currently using a dove Pomegranate deodorant which I love, smells lovely and is moisturising. Very few perfumes last on me such as marks & Spencers Florentyna. Prada candy. Love Perfumes from next too. Yardley flowery soft powdery scents.
