No, anything scented makes me sick, even when I love the smell. It's frustrating, because I would like to at least wear a lightly scented hand lotion. The one lotion I do use is Davies Gate Quince, but I don't slather it on. And I can manage some raspberry oils, used very lightly.
No scented air fresheners, candles, potpourris, incense, soaps or laundry detergents, either, though I can manage Bounce dryer sheets.

My parents both suffered from COPD, so I stopped wearing any perfume. Even though I didn't see them every day, I wanted to know that I could .. whatever happened on any given day, I could respond as needed. They are both gone now, and I can't seem to get back into the habit. I also don't like heavy scents and try to teach DS that just because a little is nice, doesn't mean more is better! lol

Can't in an allergy office :)..... Never did get in the habit so it never bothers me. Also, agree that some take a bath in their favorite fragrance..... DH works in hospice so he doesn't wear cologne either, not at problem here...

I don't wear it..and am very sensitive to it...have even had to get up and move in church if near someone who is wearing it....I sometimes will wear a scented lotion but some of those even bother me.

I can only wear clean, crisp, light scents. However Mark Jacobs has one out called Daisy that I do wear and get so many compliments because i wear it sparingly. Jessica McClintock (sp?) is another light one I wear. Anything heavy or musky I cannot stand. I have migraines and have to be particular. Light is the key with me. For me, it is a part of being dressed and feel feminine.
