Help! Creed SMW giving me a rash!

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hi!

This is my first post, so hello to everyone here.

I appear to have a problem with my fragrance, which seems slightly odd to me as it's not new, and as far as I know nothing has changed. I have worn SMW by Creed for almost a year now; I love it very much, and feel quite underdressed without it. However, over the past month or so I have developed a nasty itch rash on my skin when I apply it, in particular around my neck and wrist area. It's got so bad I've had to stop wearing it, and it seems to be clearing up. I don't understand how it could have started affecting me now? This is also not a new bottle or anything, I've had it since before christmas. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Could this be a permanent problem? (I really hope not!). Thanks for your time!

It just sounds like you've developed a chemical sensitivity to one of the ingredients. I think the best thing you could do is not wear SMW or any fragrance for a while and use some hydrocortisone cream to help get rid of the rash.

Also, it might not be the fragrance. Have you changed soaps, detergents, body washes or other products like that lately?

Moral of the story: Don't Wear Creed

ha! Totally. Did you know that some of their fragrances - sold now as perfumes to be worn by humans - were previously sold as room sprays? Same scents, formulations, etc. Creed is shaaady.

It could really be anything in the fragrance that's causing a reaction. Does it happen when you wear other perfumes?
