I guess this is something that is very regional but the use of perfumes is not really considered acceptable in most public settings where I live. Most workplaces are scent free, for example. Not that I don’t enjoy scented products that don’t linger! I tend to ecylypus, citrus or lavender for body soap. Patchouli or eucalyptus for deodorant, but I can basically only smell it when I apply it. It’s still nice lol. Anything aerosolized or carried in alcohols gives me migraines (and nausea). Even my spouse’s beard products will make me feel sick so he’s got to look at the ingredients before buying. If I want to wear a scent at home to feel nice or whatever it will be something solid. I love jasmine and sandlewood. I have a few solid perfumes with the following profiles: patchouli/pepper/vanilla jasmine/vanilla/rose mint/neroli/sandlewood/

I do sympathise with you having migraines triggered by aerosols/alcohols, my bf used to love my perfumes, but he had surgery which has affected his breathing and now finds fragrance suffocating He’d rather smell BO (not mine) than anything scented Solid perfumes are quite unusual though, I know Diptyque makes them, but I’ve never come across any other brands selling them.
