[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  I dislike it when people say they’re allergic to fragrance, aka scented products.  They should say they’re allergic to some molecules is some scented products.  I don’t think anyone can say they’re allergic to thousands of molecules.

The other thing is many non scented products have a scent, but it’s more subtle.  It masks the unpleasant scent of the functional ingredients which typically are not scent free.

l was very sensitive to certain scents while pregnant, one coworker had a cologne l could smell from over 100 ft away.  I explained and he graciously stopped wearing it immediately.

My advice to OP is explain your allegery but in a more honest way so people don’t discount you as hysterical.  And don’t sleep with a guy who still wears cologne after you ask him not to - totally not cool.

Do you also dislike it when people say they're allergic to peanuts or shellfish instead of certain molecules in peanuts and shellfish? What about people who say they’re allergic to cats instead of proteins in cat dander/saliva. How do you feel when people say they have hayfever instead of an allergy to the proteins in some pollens?[/quote]
