I need a new brand of moisturizing conditioner, unless I explore buying some kind of leave-in or deep conditioning treatment, so I tried a sample of an expensive Swedish brand that's SUPPOSED to be primarily blueberry, but smells disgusting.
I'm allergic (throat closing allergic) to at least one perfume, and my nose is oversensitive to a lot of perfumes. This means I find the smell of some perfumes (maybe half?) super unpleasant - they make me choke and gag because it feels like I can't breathe if I'm trapped with them, like they're attacking my brain painfully through my sinuses. Just walking by someone wearing fresh or lots of perfume only produces a brief spell of coughing if it's one of the perfumes I'm sensitive to, not like, a huge emergency. Sucks on the bus though.
I'm very fond of the botanical scents (esp. lemongrass) of L:a Bruket's shampoos and conditioners, but they're not sulfate-, silicone-, and paraben-free, so I'm sampling other domestic (and Swedish) small brands.
Anyway, this brand was SUPPOSED to be blueberry, but it's some sort of musk. It smells like incense from one of those crunchy shops that sells tie dye and hemp shirts and piercing jewelry and Indian cotton skirts and pants, but stronger. So maybe it's patchouli?? I don't remember what that smells like. I immediately conditioned again with unscented, but it's been haunting me all afternoon. I'm afraid washing my hair again tomorrow won't banish it.
