Do you have an Allergy or Sensitivity to certain fragrances?
Fragrance sensitivity is also known as a Perfume intolerance or a Perfume allergy. A condition wherein people exhibit sensitivity or allergic reactions to ingredients in perfumes or fragrances. Some people are especially susceptible to fragrance sensitivity. It can be triggered by a wide variety of both organic and artificial chemicals in a variety of scents that find their way into the air you breathe
Symptoms may include part of the following: Most allergic reactions typically give you an itchy red rash that goes away quickly after you've been exposed to the fragrance or perfume. Some mild symptoms can last for a few hours, days or even weeks after a brief exposure. A few mild symptoms of a perfume allergy can also include itching, even where you don't see any rash, redness or irritation. Other symptoms may include watery, itchy, or red eyes.
Fragrance allergy or sensitivity is common and does affect around 1% of adults and about 1.8% of adolescents and children. Fragrance allergy is second only to Nickel allergy as a cause for contact dermatitis. Fragrance sensitivities are on the rise, which could, in part, be because of the rise in scented products. Scent can be found everywhere, and those who are exposed to these allergens daily can see increased symptoms.
