Anyone else get headaches from perfume?

ClubDead

I realised years ago that I just can’t wear perfume or heavily scented anything really. Does anyone else on here have the same problem? Have you found a perfume that you could wear despite is problem? I would love to be able to wear a nice scent

Not from perfumes but I do from heavily scented candles, the cheap ones are the worst.

The Body Shop do gorgeous body mists for €13.50. I got this one recently and it's not too overpowering.

I do from some. Lancome's Miracle irritates my sinuses no end.

I do, from strong ones - or what I consider 'old woman perfumes'. I only wear very light fragrances like Ralph and they don't bother me. I couldn't spend time near someone wearing, for instance, Chanel No 5 or anything along those lines.

This is exactly what I was going to say. I can only stand light, sweet smells. Anything else actually hurts my head and makes me nauseous.

I got a headache from wearing the utterly vile White Diamonds by Liz Taylor (unwanted Christmas present) and because I only spritzed it once, I was able to pass it on to someone else.

Should this be in the Stingiest thing you've seen people do thread?

Dear god Liz Taylor perfume :pac: I wish my problem with perfume was limited to the cheaper kind but moderate to expensive kinds have the same painful effect.

I do the very strong and artificial scents drives my head bonkers. I prefer fruity or flowery, sweet or herbal scents.
