I think I’m allergic to Gucci Envy for men
First of all I’d like to apologize for any problems with my English. Here’s the situation:
I went to the store to try Gucci pour homme, applied about four sprays to the neck and a shot of Gucci Envy to my right wrist. I remember the smell of a harsh/bitter note and that something was wrong about it, but it dried down on me very quickly and in a few hours the scent of Envy was completely gone from my wrist. Two weeks later I went to the store again and did the same thing, except this time I sprayed envy only on a card and took an additional card with gucci pour homme on it. I remember sniffing both cards all the time – the rest is history: within 4 hours all of these things, began to occur, except skin rashes and asthma: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allergy#Signs_and_symptoms
Keep in mind that my favorite scent is Gucci pour homme and I still haven’t bought it – just tried a few times. The thought that I might be allergic to GPH too, just kills any interest in colognes to me. It’s like getting an STD after having your first sex. I’ll keep my fingers crossed hoping that I’m allergic to Envy only. Of course I tried to remember what exactly happened 2 weeks ago, and I’m 100% sure that what I took as a cold back then, was actually a weaker allergic reaction to Envy, It wasn’t so irritating, because I had Envy on a wrist (not on a card).
Any conclusions you can make, based on what I said? The main thing I’m worried about is that I might be allergic to pour homme too. Do people usually get allergy from particular chemicals or from entire components? e.g. amber, incense/olibanum, ginger – these are the ones both of these scents share.
I suspect that if a particular component of Envy is to blame, then its probably the one which stays for a longer time on a card. If I’m allergic to pour homme too, then this component is less likely to stand out on a card, because I remember smelling a card of gph a month ago and I don’t remember having any problems during that day.
By the way, what exactly happened with Envy’s formula? I’ve read some threads about it. Does it smell cheaper or worse?
I'll appreciate any replies. Thank You.
P.S. I'm not allergic to anything else (as far as I know)
