Anyone out there have it? I'd like to burn candles in the front office at work, but one woman (that I know of) is sensitive to many fragrances.

Does anyone know if natural scents (ya know, from natural oils as opposed to synthetic chemical stuff) make a difference for fragrance sensitivity?

Does anyone know of a source for candles made with natural ingredients? I'd love to find some soy-wax candles which are scented with natural oils.

(In other 'natural oil' news, I used some calendula baby oil to clean off the mascara that I'd applied last night. Now my eyes are all puffy and a little irritated. I Googled calendula, and it's used widely to *reduce* eye puffiness and irritation, so maybe I have a specific sensitivity to the stuff.)

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.
