So far no ...ColoradoSun, I couldn't agree more. So far no one has banned peanuts from food, even though I understand that peanut allergies can be life-threatening. It's left up to the person with the allergy to avoid foods that contain peanuts. It must be that the peanut industry has more political clout than the oakmoss industry!<br /><br />If someone knows they get a rash from using perfume with oakmoss, they can easily avoid it. It would probably not be a bad idea to list all materials used in a perfume on the box or on a tag, just as food ingredients are listed on the label. At the very least, there could be a package insert, but the down side of an insert is that the consumer would not see that before buying. <br /><br />You're right that there's a big difference between cheaply made (not necessarily cheap) commercial perfumes and those made with high quality materials, including naturals, which have a much more complex scent than single aroma chemicals.Doc Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376377441504529063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-26376353458711877582011-12-01T20:30:27.603-08:002011-12-01T20:30:27.603-08:00Perfume in my opinion is a luxury item rather than...Perfume in my opinion is a luxury item rather than a necessity like food, so it’s not like the entire population has a demand for the product like they would for a product that may have been processed in a facility that processes food that may cause an allergic reaction. So why not continue using oakmoss and have an allergy warning on the label? In my personal experience, I have found that more refined perfumes are more tolerable and much more pleasant and enjoyable to experience. I thoroughly enjoy trying different colognes and smelling different perfumes, but while doing so I have found that more refined and expensive products have a fragrance that is deeper and more interesting. The less refined fragrances have more of a sharp, in-your-face fragrance that often arrives in a room long before the individual wearing it does, which can be quite unpleasant.ColoradoSunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418197000483063671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-44271158630660868502011-02-08T20:41:25.277-08:002011-02-08T20:41:25.277-08:00Kjanicki, a chypre is on my to-make list!
