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 have been wearing this perfume for about a year now. I use to purchase it at the large retail chain and paid double the price for it. Great price, the real product, great size as well.

It does have a good strong smell if you put enough on. When I first smelled it, a guy on my cruise had it on and I could smell it whenever he was around. When my boyfriend wears it I can't smell it when he walks in the room so I told him to put a little more on.

it's not great. I prefer essential oils but this is probably synthetic fragrance. That said I am pretty sensitive and I can tolerate it.

I appreciate where you are coming from. People act like you are crazy or just overly sensitive. I am shopping for a filter for the same odor problem. The building management sent someone over who could not smell anything. I could not smell the original odor over "her perfume". Managed to offend one more person. Hard to work with a headache and itchiness. Anyway, thanks for your question and the reply of D. Cunningham. This has been a tremendous help to me. Think I am going with the rabbit. Good thing the boss is buying.

Julie, I am also very sensitive to fragrances and I have not had a problem with this product. It has a very light scent that dissipates very quickly.

I can't answer that question. All I know it smells very nice and is my favorite. I also have a alot of allergies and so does my husband to most perfumes and this one has never been a problem. I also can use the bath powder and its really nice also.

Actually, it all depends on the person's sense of smell. To most (like myself who do not have a sensitivity to fragrances) I would answer no, there is no smell. However, knowing someone had asked this question, the next time I used it I double checked and there is a slight scent (that may bother some with a strong irritation to ANY aromatic scent). But does it "stink"? NO! Would someone be able to detect (smell) that you had this on? Absolutely not!

I think it is possible because it ionizes the air around your face. It does that for me with my allergies to perfumes and colognes.

Not for me and I am also very sensitive to perfume. It has a short lived rubbing alcohol smell that dissipates quickly and no residue odor.

I'm very sensitive to scents too. Unlike most people. Unfortunately, this does have a slight scent. It irritated my eyes a little too.

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 have allergies and can't tolerate fragrances or perfumes and this did not bother me. It does have fragrance in it but you dilute 1 oz. in 32 oz. of water so it really just leaves a clean smell, nothing irritating.

As a guy with an allergy to MJ I would say definitely NO. Maybe you are hyper-sensitive to herbs? That can sometimes mix=up scents.
