If you have a scent sensitivity, it's a good idea to use lotions, laundry detergents, and other products that are fragrance-free; however, be careful when choosing products. You want to make sure you are getting a product that truly lacks the chemicals that can trigger allergic reactions for people with a scent sensitivity.  If a product is labeled "fragrance-free," this means it does not contain any chemicals or compounds known to trigger allergic reactions. If a product is labeled "unscented," it may contain compounds and chemicals that contain potential allergens even if the product itself lacks a smell. Certain chemicals are likely to affect scent sensitivity. When purchasing a product, scan the label for the following chemicals:  Acetone Alpha-Pinene Alpha-Terpineol Benzyl Acetate Benzyl Alcohol Benzaldehyde Camphor Ethanol Ethyl Acetate g-Terpinine Limonene Linalool Scented candles are best avoided if you have a scent sensitivity. They often contain chemicals that can trigger an allergic reaction. Do not use scented candles in your home, or air fresheners that contain similar chemicals. If you want to freshen up the smell of your house, try bringing flowers in from outdoors. Natural scents may be less likely to bother your sensitivity. Smells can be a huge problem around the holiday season. Artificial scents and natural scents are present during this time of year. Work on minimizing your exposure to cope.  It may be better to use an artificial tree, as pollen from natural trees can cause allergic reactions. Go for a tree that is fragrance-free. If you're invited to parties, politely let the hosts know that you have a scent sensitivity. Inform them what they can do to help, such as avoiding lighting scented candles. Take precautions when going  shopping around Christmas, as stores may use a lot of artificial scents during the Christmas season. You may want to bring any medication a doctor has prescribed for your sensitivity with you when shopping.
