Allergies to fragrance

[leselhead]

I am allergic to practically everything but one of the worst for me has been my progressively worsening perfume allergies. I love, live, and NEED perfume. I have discovered that gourmands are ingredients that I seem to have no problems with (I guessing that’s because they aren’t derived from plant/flowers and are artificial, thereby removing pollen/allergy issues) and I now wear Prada Candy, and Lolita Lempika’s signature perfume. What other gourmand fragrances have you guys found that you like?

There might be specific aromachemicals setting you off but to be safe, you could try natural perfumes. They tend not to be as long lasting though.

Mugler's Angel is a classic.

Serge Lutens makes some lovely ones like 5 o'clock Gingembre and Bois Vanille.

Most designer fragrances are almost 100% synthetic so you might want to see a doctor and find out what’s irritating you. But YSL Black Opium and Guerlain little black dress are nice gourmands.
