18 Scents for People Who Hate PerfumeDo most fragrances make you queasy or give you a headache? We searched high and low for scents that'll please even the pickiest noses |
Demeter Fragrance Library Salt Air, Laundromat and Sunshine Cologne Sprays, $20 each Here's a quick perfume lesson: most fragrances are a complex blend of scents that produce a range of "notes." Like tasting a fine wine and describing the "nose" or the "finish," perfumes have top, middle and base notes. Often, people who claim to hate all perfumes are actually put off by one or two notes within a scent.
Demeter fragrances are all one note, so you can find exactly what you like -- we recommend their wonderfully fresh Salt Air,, Laundromat and Sunshine varieties.
"We make cologne, which is by definition, less concentrated," explains Demeter CEO Mark Crames. "So by exposing the consumer to less of the active fragrance ingredients, we see less threshold allergic reactions." Demeter perfumes are also free of any artificial color, extenders and preservatives. "That is why most Demeter scents are clear," says Crames. "Any color is naturally derived from the ingredients of the fragrance oil itself."
