Perfume for sensitive noses?

Hi guys! I'm currently 18 years old and turning 19 next month. I'd like to start trying to wear perfume but, I find that many of them are too strong for my sensitive nose. Any suggestions?

Re: Perfume for sensitive noses?

@SerenityLuneYou can try a few things

 

  • Stick to eau de toilettes. These have a lower concentration and so will be less powerful. Sometimes it's written as EDT instead of spelling it out.
  • Try lighter, fresher, citrusy scents. These tend to be easier on the nose.
  • I am not sure there is any meaningful regulation around the term "natural" when it comes to fragrance. But you can try "natural" fragrances where the ingredients are just essential oils in a base oil. These will not last very long.
  • Try rollerballs instead of sprays.
  • Apply the fragrance further from your face, so wrists, backs of the knees and so on.

Good luck!

Ellis Brooklyn. The whole line in theory is supposed to be good for allergy, etc. sufferers. I personally own Musk and West. They're the only perfumes I have that don't make my wife sneeze.

the body shop.  I have the moringa one and people say it doesn't bother them.

This is one of the few perfumes that never bothers me headache wise. It seems heavier at first, but I find it to be really soothing once it dries down.
