I am incredibly sensitive to scents. But, what I have learned, is that I am sensitive to CHEAP scents, as in; those watered down with alchohol.
Pure oils, no problem. Add alcohol to increase volume, I'll get a migraine. Parfum, no problem, but Eau de Cologne (parfum with alcohol) will kill me dead in my tracks. I can actually feel it flip the migraine trigger in my head.
Some laundry detergent will do me in.
Suffice it to say - this is painful and scary enough that I don't often buy candles and I have NO Airwick type anything in my house.
