perfume or fragrance allergy happens when you have an allergic reaction after being exposed to a perfume that contains an allergen.
Symptoms of a perfume allergy can result from:
1. Touching the perfume liquid or substance
2. Getting sprayed by the perfume
3. Inhaling some of it
If you are allergic to perfume, we would strongly recommend that you do not wear it. If you find yourself developing redness, rashes, itching, breathing problems, or coughing, right after you wear any kind of perfume, it is best to avoid it and look for an alternative way to wear fragrance. Many people with allergies will prefer to spray perfume on the inside of their clothing, like under the lapel or on a cotton pad that can be tucked inside the pocket.
Most ingredients in perfumes that cause a reaction aren’t actually allergens. They’re usually synthetic or chemical irritants that your body finds… well, irritating.
Allergens, on the other hand, are technically proteins that the body reacts to with an inflammatory response that causes allergy symptoms. In short, a true perfume allergy happens when an organic protein in a perfume ingredient causes the reaction. The heavy majority of reactions people endure are simply perfume sensitivities.
