Re: Perfumes and headache.
i have the same problem :( especially colognes .. guys stop using curve its puke worthyy..
I still wear perfumes just a tiny bit once in a while
I have the same problem. It just varies from smell to smell and it's based on individuals. I hardly ever wear perfumes but I like to sometimes for special occasions.
What I did to choose them is smelt a couple in a department store and ten tried it on and wore it all of the day. Perfumes are different on diff people and they change throughout the day so you have to test it for the full day. If it dosent give you a headache then it's for you!
Re: Perfumes and headache.

Re: Perfumes and headache.
I think its called scent allergy…I have it too…jst some perfumes..and brand new car smell, and some “leather” shoes…they always make me wanna puke.
I normally can tolerate Victoria Secret body sprays..anything which is fruity and citrusy I can tolerate..other stuff gives me head aches…
I remember this one guy walked past me on the road..i felt like he’d taken a bath in perfume..I wanted to throw up the yoghurt I had just eaten!!!

Same is here 
but while smoking i never face this problem 
Re: Perfumes and headache.
the strong scents do it, like my eyes get all red and blood shot and the headache thing happens.
the only perfumes are like aaliyah said, maybe you can try the lightly scented floral or citrus ones, like i have a sample of dior's jadore, it's not as bad as some of the others. for me personally a lavender scent is all i can handle, perfume in general i can't stand.
Re: Perfumes and headache.
I have the same problem with perfumes.
Nisha, Jodore is a verrrrrry strong perfume for me, Romance is another one that I can't handle. Got both of these as gifts, but unfortunately havn't been able to wear them a whole lot.

Guys perfumes > Womens. In general.
Girls perfumes are really loud in terms of smell hence I can understand it leading to headaches.
For men perfumes only cheap ones give me a headache. Sounds bad I know but It's always those that I get headaches from.

Perfume doesn't give me a headache but Febreeze brings on a HUGE headache everytime someone sprays it... especially if its freshly sprayed.

It might be some kind of Allergy or something it just varies from smell to smell and it's based on individuals. I hardly ever wear perfumes but I like to sometimes for special occasions.
Re: Perfumes and headache.
I also suffer from headaches with strong perfumes like chanel, especially if in a confined space like a car. I am OK with delicates smells. Last year I got a perfume called Hypnose by Lancome. It is very very gentle, and does not give me any headaches. I love it! So maybe the trick is to buy very mild and delicates smelling perfumes.
