A person with Fragrance Additives allergy may experience skin irritation or redness. This can be in the form of rashes or hives that itch and burn. Often, these reactions could occur several hours after coming into contact with the allergen.
Fragrance Additives allergy can cause respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, or a tight feeling in the chest. This occurs because inhaling the allergen can cause the airways to constrict.
Sensitivities to Fragrance Additives can trigger severe migraines or headaches in some individuals. These headaches can often be accompanied by nausea or sensitivity to light and sound.
Exposure to some Fragrance Additives can cause eyes to become irritated, leading to symptoms such as excessive watering, redness or itching. This is typically a reaction to airborne allergens.
Individuals with a Fragrance Additives allergy may experience nasal symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and post-nasal drip. This is a reaction in the nasal passages to the allergen.
Contact dermatitis is a red, itchy rash caused by direct contact with a substance or an allergic reaction to it. In the case of a Fragrance Additives allergy, the rash may occur at the site where a fragranced product was applied.
Recognize your symptoms?

Am I eligible?
The first step in avoiding fragrance additives allergy is being keen on the personal care products you use. Fragrance is often found in products like shampoos, soaps, and cosmetics. Look for labels that indicate a product is fragrance-free. Note that "unscented" doesn't necessarily mean fragrance-free, as some companies use masking fragrances to cover up the scent of other ingredients.
Ensure to always read labels before purchasing any product. Products labeled as "fragrance-free" or "free of perfume" are safe, but don't be deceived by those labeled as "unscented." They may still contain fragrances with the purpose to mask the scent of other ingredients. If a label lists fragrance but does not indicate what the fragrance is, it's safer to avoid the product.
It's not only personal care products that contain fragrance additives. Household products like air fresheners, candles, and even some cleaning products can also contain them. Opt for fragrance-free alternatives whenever possible and open windows to ventilate areas instead of using air fresheners.
If you suspect you have a fragrance additives allergy, consult a dermatologist. They can conduct a patch test to identify specific allergens. Once you know what specific fragrances you're allergic to, it will be easier to know what products to avoid. And never forget to inform your healthcare providers about your allergy to prevent exposure during treatments.
