BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Fragrance Watch out for fragrance ingredients

A friend of mine received a bottle of perfume for Christmas. She loved it and wore it proudly.

Guess what? One of the fragrances in the recipe was rose. Now - this woman is very allergic to roses, rose fragrance oil, etc. Her skin and body reacted very badly.

Before buying any fragrance, look it up on line by typing in the fragrance name and the word review. You should be able to see all components that make up the fragrance. If you see anything that you are allergic or sensitive to, obviously, look elsewhere for a fragrance.

This took my by surprise because rose is just one of the many scents that make up the final one.....but it did bother her.

thank you for this information, I myself have skin reactions to perfumes

I am allergic to nuts but thankfully it is not a very severe allergy, it has to be inside my mouth to be a danger to me so I can still use beauty products with nuts in it (except brazil nuts which is the 1 that started my allergy) but still I rarely do buy any.
