Why Your Scent Might Be Sabotaging You

Head hurts? Recurring headaches becoming a usual affair? Feel dazed and drowsy many times in a day?
 Could be the weather. Could be your inbox. Could be the fact that you haven't had water since 9 a.m.
 But… if it always shows up on the days you wear your fav “Vanilla Dream Noir” then your scent might be the real culprit.

You spray it on in the morning and you feel fabulous, put together.
 By afternoon, you have mild headaches or crashes, your sinuses feel stuffed, and you're wondering why the “good vibes” wore off so fast.

Let’s Talk Facts:

👉 A migraine clinic study in India found that nearly 3 in 10 patients linked perfume or other strong odors to their headache episodes, often worsening the pain or triggering a fresh attack.

👉 And across dermatology clinics in India, perfume ranks among the top allergens, not just irritating the skin, but also triggering headaches and respiratory discomfort in sensitive individuals.

In short? Your perfume might be doing more than just making you smell nice. It could be messing with your head, literally.

Here’s the truth:

A lot of mainstream perfumes are packed with synthetic chemicals that your body might not love as much as your nose does.
 These hidden ingredients can:

      Overload your senses

      Trigger headaches or nausea

      Irritate your skin or breathing

      Be especially harsh for asthmatics or those who are scent-sensitive

And since the word “fragrance” on a label can legally hide over 3,000 different chemicals, many of which aren’t disclosed, and some of which are known allergens or irritants. So even “clean-looking” bottles may still come with mystery ingredients.

So... Do you have to ditch the scent altogether?

Absolutely not.
Smelling good should feel good. That’s why we made Nytarra’s
Perfume Balm- a clean, gentle, essential-oil based alternative that’s easy on your senses.
