Are you worried about Perfume and allergies?
Dermatologists believe around 1% of the population could be, or become, allergic to perfume.
All allergies are dependent on exposure to the allergen and how much allergic potential it has. Also, the more you come into contact with an allergen, the worst the allergy is likely to become. This is why nut allergy sufferers are advised to avoid all nuts as soon as an allergy is identified.

The food we eat can indeed effect how Perfume smells on us.
The skin is the biggest organ of the body, with millions of pores, or tiny holes that allow moisture and odour to escape. Odours associated with food that we eat can be secreted through our skin.

Skin type can effect how perfume smells.
Normal pH of healthy skin is slightly acidic at around pH 4- 6.4 (neutral pH is 7). The acidity of your skin is useful as it offers protection against micro-organisms, i.e. germs!
The biggest changes in the smell of a perfume occurs if your skin is alkaline, with a pH above 7, which often can adversely affect the smell of the perfume, or at least alter it. Under these circumstances it is even more important to test the perfume on your skin to make sure it is still liked.

It’s sadly true. Perfumes can go off or stale.
When a perfume goes off it get’s what could be described as an ‘old lady perfume’ smell. This is due to the alcohol in the formulation reacting with the perfume oil, forming ingredients which change the perfume.
Also the perfume ingredients themselves react with each other over time causing changes in odour and even colour. These changes are not always unpleasant and could even be considered a natural maturation (as with wine!). If the perfume still smells nice, it’s ok!
Oil based perfumes, without alcohol, generally are less reactive mixtures, therefore last longer.
