Thread: Smell good ?

Tweet

There is a fantastic seller who used to be on Etsy, but now she sells on ArtFire. Her company is One Hand Washes the Other. If you google it, you can read tons of great reviews on her stuff. She makes these amazing solid perfumes that you can throw in your purse and not worry about spilling and they're amazingly affordable. I know she's working on her 2011 Fall/Halloween currently, but all year round she has a scent called Pumpkin Eater which makes me think of Halloween every time I wear it, which is quite often!

I like the same kind of stuff. I will definitely have to check that out! Thanks for the info!!

None of it is good for those of us that get headaches from it.

I hear ya! My husband has a hard time with anything too strong too. Another reason why I mainly stick to body sprays. Speaking of which...have you ever tried a body spray? They are much lighter then perfumes and may not give you the headache.

I used to be able to when I was younger, but it's gotten worse over the years. Now I get headaches from other people wearing it. I have co-workers that have problems, too. One has asthma, one gets headaches like me, and one gets the watery eyes, etc. Lucky for us, we have a boss who's daughter has the same problem, so he's been trying to curb the fragrances. If I'm in someone's personal space and can smell it, I'm ok with it. If I can smell it in my personal space, then I have a problem. It's really fun when a lot of people are wearing something - then it's the battle of the perfumes. People just don't realize just how strong it can be and how it can effect other people.

I get nasty headaches from most perfumes too and even if I pass by someone wearing a strong perfume, but not all body sprays bother me. I've found that the ones that are least likely to give me a headache are ones that smell like spices or foods without any flowery elements and are not too strong.
The one I mentioned which is pumpkin spice I can wear with no problem, and I have another body spray I use which is ginger and orange scented (uses essential oils). I also got that one on etsy, from a seller that does custom scents. What I did with those is ordered small sample-size containers first so I could try them out and see if they would be ok, then when I did not get a headache and liked the scent I ordered a bigger bottle.
