For those who get headaches, picking a perfume can be, well, a headache! Not only do you have to choose a smell that you’ll want to wear all the time, but you also have to consider how it will make you feel. Unfortunately, even the best scents can cause headaches!
Fragrances that smell like essential oils tend to be safe bets, but sometimes you don’t want to walk around smelling like a eucalyptus tree. Warm scents, light and citrusy notes and soft, subtle vanilla perfumes are great options if you want a perfume that smells like a perfume — not a straight essential oil — and doesn’t give you (or those around you) a headache.
If you want the highly specific perfume shopping done for you, it’s your lucky day: We gathered 6 of our favorite perfumes (some more natural than others) that will have you smelling great and feeling great, too! Most are made with minimal ingredients, soothing scents and high-quality extracts. You’ll get compliments on your scent — guaranteed!
