I am allergic to most perfume. It gives me headaches, makes it hard to breathe, etc. Do you think I can wear this without it bothering me?

I wish someone had been able to answer your question because I have the same problem. My preferred brand of stick deodorant is discontinued, so I'm considering the Lavanila Grapefruit one, but it's kind of pricey if I buy it only to discover that it triggers my asthma (which is what happened when I tried two new off-the-shelf brands). Since you asked your question several years ago, have you tried any of these products since then?

Yes I agree, it is very strong so i have to apply very lightly and be very selective on where you wear it because of its over-powering affect. Crowded places seem to be the right environment and/or where many fragrances are being worn by others because of its standout affect. In fact, I purchased a large bottle and will probably have it for a lifetime because I cannot wear it more often - not so good of a selection on my part. I should have tested it before purchasing. Good luck!

No...i would not use it as a perfume because it will make you sleepy. one drop on your neck at the top of your spine or one drop on the bottom of your big toe (and only ONE drop) will make you sleep like a baby.

Thanks for posting this. This was the reason I wanted to buy one - perfume. We have a lot of really heavy perfume wearers in the office and esp. during the winter, it kills me.

Yes you can. I would not recommend to pour it into your perfume, but instead to wear it and then put your perfume on.

I never bought this device, but people in the office still continue to wear excessive amounts of perfume and cologne. I do wear a tiny amount of natural oil that does not cause me headaches. The offenders in my area are primarily men - two in particular. The cologne is so strong and there seems to be some particular ingredient in these colognes and perfumes that bothers me; not all scents give me headaches.

Absolutely false. The fragrance was strong enough that I could not use it due to my allergies.

Yes, people do tend to look at your like you're nuts. I think they would change their tune if they started getting daily headaches from how *I* smelled! You're lucky that yours is getting paid for - how wonderful. I can't wait until more places put a ban on perfumes!

I found it somewhat challenging to breathe...it got hot and dampish, but still blocked the dust, which means it worked. Not amazing, but beats breathing dust. Hope that helps. I don't wear it for long consecutive periods of time.

I don't think so the fragrance to me is pretty strong. I normally use hypoallergenic stuff but this doesn't bother me. I could be wrong though.

Ann, I feel your pain! I have many, many dollars tied up in products to which I have had a reaction. There is no way to know if you will be successful with this product. However, In will advise a visit to your dermatologist to ascertain the cause of your issue. I have allergies to fragrances and certain ingredients that are not contained in this product, so have had success in using it(along with dietary changes and discontinuance of other hair products)and will continue using this.

Probably. It looked really good on me. The only problem was that it burned my eyes. It may be that I'm much more sensitive to those things.

Only if you want to smell good enough to eat! ;) Seriously though, yes. The essences are pure and, unless you are allergic to that particular one, you should have no problems at all.

I didn't notice any odor when I used it for an entire day at the Mall of New Hampshire a month ago nor in my room I store it in. I'm pretty sensitive to scents, fragrances or odors of any kind, because I get a migraine, but it seems good to me. However, you might be sensitive to something that I am not. I do use this stuff called "Zero Odor" to get rid of scents on things. Their web site is www.ZeroOdor.com and phone 800-526-2967. Hope this helps.

Haver never tried it there! But if it's any indication, I have sprayed all kinds of chemicals while wearing it and did not smell anything, just make sure it fits snuggly around your face and you should be fine.

I didn't think it smelled bad if at all. I used it on my porch but I stood with it for a few hours and didn't notice anything or get a headache. I'm pretty sensitive too to smells; perfume usually annoys me and gives me headaches but not the fog :)Hope that Helps

I can't believe people still wear heavy perfumes/colognes to work. So many people have allergies to these things, it amazes me that HR is not more understanding. Good luck E. Orchard! Please post back when you have results!
