Fragrance-Free Nation: The Perfume Gauntlet

A high majority of the population cannot tolerate scents and fragrances, yet retail stores constantly scent the air and overdo it on fragrances. If I were to search for fragrance-free products in your stores, I doubt that I could find one product.

We enjoy looking at the merchandise in your store. We would like to shop there. However, we cannot. I would like to see a "Fragrance-Free" floor for those people, like my mother and myself, who cannot handle the perfumes and scents.

Obviously, your store is not the only one who does this, but it could be the first to offer "Fragrance-Free Zones" and a selection of fragrance-free products. Now, I have to buy fragrance-free products from websites because retail stores don't see a need to carry this type of product.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Sharon Rorem"

I am not one to just complain and not act. In this instance, I DID something about the problem. This series of articles, "Fragrance-Free Nation" will inform you about the problem of Fragrance Pollution, and -more importantly-help you to find fragrance-free products and websites dedicated to fragrance-free living. Future topics include:

Malls and Scents-How Retail Stores Use Ambient Aromas. How Do Fragrances Affect Our Health? Can You Sue Someone For Fragrance Pollution? Does Fragrance Change Our Environment? What's In My Perfume?

As we look deeper into this topic, other sub-topics will emerge. Please join me in my study. Become a member of our Fragrance-Free Nation.
