Perfumes that aren't too strong?

I love perfumes, but I don't react well to certain perfumes that are too strong. I get migraines and I get very dizzy. I'm looking for a perfume that isn't too strong, but has a scent that will stay all day. Peaches and floral scents are my preferences. Thanks!

They are very good one by Atelier Cologne! They are a pure fragrance and they're all citrus based! Try the new Clementine California it's amazing ! and they also have floral scents !

I totally agree! Atelier has a good number of trial and mini sets, so you can try a few out before investing in a larger bottle. This one has a good mix of florals, citrus, and deeper scents. Many perfumes give me headaches as well, but I've had good luck with both the light and fuller Atelier scents.

You might be sensitive to certain chemicals being used. You can try perfumes based on more natural ingredients or even essential oils although they will generally break down faster. Companies making these types of scents are Saje, Aveda and others.

 

Rollerballs might also be a better choice because you can just dab them on and have greater control over the application.

 

You could also try applying further away from your nose e.g. back of neck, backs of knees, wrists, etc.

@Anonymous Philosophy makes some gentle ones, and the price doesn't break the bank (as much!).  I used to wear their Fresh Cream, and just tried Amazing Grace Ballet Rose and really enjoyed it.

 

I've also read that Crabtree & Evelyn makes some light scents.  I've often hypothesized that L'Occitane scents would be light.  I also wonder if CLEAN would  be a good brand for light scents...

@Anonymous I found the brand Yves Rocher in Germany and bought some of their travel size perfumes because I am also sensitive to scents. I had no issues with their Rose, Lilac, or Lily of the Valley scents. I've since ordered online and had great experiences. They have fruity and floral scents

Hi @Anonymous . You might like Calvin Klein Eternity Now. It's surprisingly long lasting for such a fruity summery fragrance. It definitely has notes of peaches and lychee. I like layering it with Fresh Sugar Lychee.

Thank you so much! I'll definitely take a look at that perfume.
