Perfume is like torture to me. My head begins to pound and my sinuses ache almost immediately when I come in close proximity to it. If a man is wearing a cologne, I can even taste it! I have had to have some uncomfortable conversations with my dad, mother-in-law, and colleagues because it really “stunk” to be around them. When you start doing research, you will see how toxic the chemicals in perfume are. They are reported to be skin allergens, respiratory irritants, cancer causing agents, and hormone disrupting chemicals. So being such a fragrant sensitive and health conscious individual, finding a green and tolerant “perfume” was hard. Luckily I came across this great company called Auric Blends about a year ago. They have essential oil blends are are very reasonably priced. So far I have tried three; the jasmine, rose, and Egyptian goddess with the jasmine my favorite so far. I really wish they would make a gardenia since that is my favorite aroma, but I am looking at one of the other mixtures since it does have gardenia in it. Look over all their lovely choices and consider a green choice for you olfactory pleasure! If your friends are sensitive like me, they will desire and pleasure in your company more!
