What causes fragrance reactions?

Question

I get sneezy and my nose and eyes itch when using certain perfumes or skincare. But with perfume it only happens with scents with woody notes (my favorite types 😩).

Does anyone know if there are particular ingredients I can watch out for?

These days I mostly use fragrance free skincare and don’t wear perfumes at all. But just been wondering if I can still give some scents a try if I can tell what to skip just by looking at an ingredient list. Thank you 🙈

Everyone has sensitivity to different ingredients so I'd suggest to first check the ingredient lists of perfumes that have triggered you and see if they have any commonly known allergens. Then compare which ingredients those perfumes have in common and perhaps also cross-check with perfumes that have not caused a reaction.
