The word "fragrance" or "parfum" on an ingredient list can represent a proprietary blend of hundreds of undisclosed chemicals. The fragrance industry is largely self-regulated, and companies are not required to disclose individual fragrance ingredients. Independent testing has identified phthalates, synthetic musks, benzene derivatives, and known allergens in fragrance blends. For people with asthma, allergies, or chemical sensitivities, synthetic fragrances are one of the most common triggers.
