Fragrance Sensitivity

[kyra_ojosverdes]

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.)

Dean is very sensitive to smell. Laurana is allergic to anything floral. The best bet around here is light vanilla, cinnamon apple, or the fresh apple air freshener. Candles are about the same thing. Vanilla seems to be pretty safe, unless it's overwhelming.
