PUBLIC SCENTIQUETTE
Guidelines For Public PerfumingAs much as you love, love, love your Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker so much you could bathe in it, some might hate it. Not only that, but others might be allergic.
For the sensitive, a fragrance allergy can cause breathing or skin problems, coughs or hives—- or worse: severe asthma attacks. Perfumes may have started innocently as crushed flower petals in soft oils; but today’s fragrances carry such levels of synthetic (read: chemical) ingredients that a new level of social consideration must be applied.
Besides jammed public transportation cars, the workplace is one of the most vulnerable places for your scent to cause trouble—- eight hours in a poorly-ventilated space can turn the most pleasant smells into nasal assaults by the third or fourth hour.
There are four simple rules of fragrance etiquette that break down how to keep from inducing asthma attacks in the more scentsitive snouts of people. Recall these simple rules to keep the peace when perfuming for the public.
