When I was in practice I couldn't wear any scent, but now that I am happily retired I buy bath gel in fragrances which dissipate within an hour. Current favorites are Pomegranate Lime, Water Blossom and Freshwater Mist, all from ULTA.

I don't and cannot tolerate perfumes due to allergies and asthma.
I can't stand to be around people who bathe in the stuff. UGH!!!
:roll:

It seems like everything has perfumes of some sort in them. The hand soaps in the store restrooms are just overwhelming for me.

I had trouble finding bath products that I could use,
a nice lady makes unscented soap for me and I feel so much better. :-D

You are so lucky to be able to get the unscented soaps!

jan in steaming florida

i am keeping misquotes in just cause i like it, lol

I make few scents to wear myself and don't attract insects..what is your formula?

In your sandalwood, have you added vanilla or gardenia..yum....

How do you make perfume? I make everything else at home, haven't tried that?

I would love to wear a fragrance, but my husband and I are both highly sensitive to most fragrances. It is not worth the breathing difficulties/rash ... wish things were different.

My daughter came over about 2:30, it is 5'30 i can still smell her cologne. I like natural scents, she likes dept. store fragrances. Maybe by tomorrow it will be better.

Vanicream has lotion and soap; no scents! I buy them at Walgreens, a drugstore here. You can also go online for Magick Botanicals for shampoos and body washes. Anyone who is sensitive should look for non-scented as apposed to unscented. Unscented means they put something in to take out the smell.

I used to wear perfume, but decided that since I could not smell it on me, what was the purpose in wearing it.
