I'm a total contradiction: I love fragrance because it's such a memory trigger for me, but I struggle with horrible migraines. And while smells don't trigger my migraines, I become hyper-sensitive to scents when I'm in the prodrome or attack phases.
My husband loves it when I smell like food. <snicker> So I tend to wear things like apple or vanilla or peppermint or cinnamon body sprays from Bath & Body Works. I love the scent of amber (Amber Romance by Victoria's Secret was my signature scent in my late 20s & early 30s) and my latest obsession is bergamot.
But something that doesn't bother me at all on a good day can suddenly make me seriously nauseous when I'm migrainey. Blech.
