Perfumes ect.

I have only just been diagosed . However when I look back, I have always disliked strong smells all my life. Whenever someone would say smell this I would always prefer not to . Has any one been in the soap shop called Lush that sells all the different soaps? I lasted only 60 seconds . Anyone elses like me?

Hi susan like you I was only dianosed in May this year but have had hayfever for a numbe of years. Pefumes I can't do except gio which i can cope with but I can't even do being in a room with someone with highly scented perfume. The shop LUSH i avoid like death walk on other side of road and hold breath. Same walking in department stores whee they want you to try perfume and spray it around I don't go there. Nose is very sensitive and would normally end up with a sneezing fit or like a bad cold if anyone near me wears perfume. Have same prob with some fabric softners and washing powders as well so my mum can't change things very easy.

I don't even go neer Lush! It is far too strong!!!!

I have only just realised that perfumes are setting off my asthma! Over the years people have sugested that I look into it and I have passed it off. Cleaning fluids with strong smells and some air freshiners are not good for me either!!!!

Its such a pain because I LOVE perfume and have so many!

Hi Susan,

Welcome to AUK. Never heard of Lush but I avoid all perfume shops like the plague. i even find it difficult to go into a chemist on a bad day which is difficult when I need to pick up my scripts. I have had several instant bad allergic reactions when I start to swell to strong scented flowers and perfumes. Starting to get more scary with each reaction I have. I can't even use a scented soap these days. Love the smell of the fruit-scented soaps though they don't set my asthma off the same.
