The expression perfume allergy covers such a wide range of problems, we should first try to divide them into categories, as there are some quite distinct areas of difficulties.
The three main areas are contact with the substances themselves, irritations, for want of a better expression, caused by scents in the air, and allergic reactions, again to airborne perfumes.
Contact with irritants or allergens is where wearing perfume or using perfumed toiletries or cosmetics causes skin irritation, rashes, itching, or more severe allergic reactions such as breaking out of the skin and excema symptoms.
