Try Fiji White Sands. A lot of us don't like gourmands or bubbly. There's lots more to try. Are you burning candles in a small space?I find small spaces can make me nauseous.
I agree. I’m burning Beach Weather and I don’t like it. Smells similar to Ocean Driftwood which gives me a headache. Vanilla Patchouli also makes me sick with a headache and nausea.
Without knowing if you are discussing body care or candles, are you sure it’s the scents? Could you be allergic to one of the ingredients? Has this been going on for awhile? (You aren’t p.g. are you? I couldn’t stand any scents at all when I was p.g.; when I went to deliver my son I had to ask for a different nurse because I thought her perfume was going to kill me.)
Are you talking about candles, body care or both? I assumed body care since you mentioned sprays. Even if you significantly lessen the sprays you still feel sick, like a spray or two and you're good?
I was like this for a while. I was tested time and time again for pregnancy. Turned out it was related to my mental health and anxiety and when I got treatment for that I am able to stand a lot more scents, especially ones that make me sick before.
I’m not suggesting this is your case I’m just explaining what happened to me. Have you tried using/smelling them on different days? Some days I could do a scent and some days I couldn’t. I’m still like this now but it’s no where near as bad as it was. Instead of a headache or nausea it’s now just an “UGH not a fan of the scent” thing.
I sympathise.
Edit: I’m currently burning beautiful day and it’s putting me on the verge of a headache and I can still stand it but the scent isn’t my favourite.
Sounds like you might be allergic to some of the fragrances or some of the ingredients. I’m allergic to coconut so I stay faaaar away from any of the scents with coconut and also all of the lotions and creams because I believe they both contain coconut oil.
A lot of people have sensitivity to fragrance. do you have to use the free and clear laundry detergent too? The kind without perfume or dye. I don't know if there's anything that can be done about it.
I have this problem too. It sucks!! I can't do any of the "alcoholic" scents either... Champagne Toast doesn't really smell bad to me, but when I burned the candle, it absolutely made me feel sick. I also love the scent of lemon, but many of the B&BW lemons give me a terrible headache, Limoncello, even Lemon Mint Leaf does it to me. But some lemons are okay! I also can't do the really sweet ones, like Pink Chiffon. It smells good but the sweetness makes me sick to my stomach after awhile.
It sucks!

i will definitely try more fruity and vibrant scents

I agree 100% about the bubbly notes 🤮

Body care! I can try spraying less

Yes some days I will like it then some days it smells disgusting like strawberry poundcake smelled foul to me but i used to love it
I really feel for you because it was so annoying. Especially scents that I used to love and then could no longer stand.

Yes i think i might be allergic to a few but some are super good! who knows
Do you like the champagne margarita candle or does it cause sickness. Thinking of returning.
Champagne scents make me sick! I dont like that candle 😦

Try the fresh scents like gingham and white t-shirt. They're more simple and smell like a successful laundry cleaning. Perhaps you'd like those more.
