"  In college my roommate wore a perfume with notes of jasmine, tuberose, and cedar. Her morning spritzes served as my alarm clock, waking me up and sending me into olfactory shock and quickly out of our studio apartment. My ultrasensitive nose and I have spent the intervening years avoiding overwhelmingly smelly places, especially aromatic stretches of Fifth Avenue, crowded elevators, and the local florist. I am a staunch perfume hater, and for the past 10 years I have worn nothing at all. But even though I have such an easily offended sniffer, the allure of a signature scent is not lost on me. So I set out to find one that was neither cloying nor heavy, but subtle and memorable instead. First I visited downtown perfumeries Aedes de Venustas and Lafco New York, inhaling my way through popular notes. I quickly confirmed that I can&amp;#039;t handle heavy scents such as amber, patchouli, and tobacco. Anything with overpowering gardenia or vanilla tended to knock me out too. I then spent months testing close to 50 of the lightest eaux de toilette, sheer fragrances, and a new category of skin scents marketed specifically to the perfume-averse. I dutifully wore one of them every day \u2014 even sitting through a two-hour ballet with one I couldn&amp;#039;t wait to wash off \u2014 and whittled the list down to 12 favorites, many designed for unisex use. I discovered green scents and embraced clean, powdery blends. Some, like Escentric Molecules&amp;#039; Molecule 01, are a total departure from typical perfumes, with no scent until you put them on. Some are classics, some are brand new, but all are now worn by someone who can no longer say she hates perfume. Click through to the slideshow for our top 12 perfumes for sensitive noses.
