Ambroxan Sensitivity

I've talked before how certain fragrances have led to me getting powerful headaches. In particular, Imagination, L'Emmensite, and a few others. I've been documenting the notes of everything when I get a headache like that, and then talked with my doctor about it. We did a couple of sensitivity tests, and it turns out I am sensitive to Ambroxan, especially in higher doses.

Turns out my body was trying to tell me something when I was expressing a dislike for a lot of Blue fragrances like Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel, Tygar, Ganymede, etc. That "grapefruit" accord that was giving me such a hard time seems to be especially present in these fragrances and is how my brain is interpreting the smell.

I figured I would share with y'all in case anyone else is experiencing the same issue. Listen to what your body is telling you. That visceral reaction may be more than just a simple dislike of something.
