I actually just ordered a scent locket the other day off ebay but I'd like to try and avoid buying any imps in future that contain things I know have allergens that affect me in them...
(Does anyone have any thoughts on Xiuhtechtli notes for brain allergies?)

Yeah, I've tried cross referencing it with other imps I have but haven't found anything that has the same notes (crazy, eh? With all of those, nothing listed is the same).
So that's why I posted this thread.
As for my symptoms, it got red and burning sensation immediately and I had to wash it off right away with soap, water and alcohol.
I get migraines easily too so I've had to wash off quite a few very quickly but the only one I couldn't get off fast enough for head-type allergies (rather than skin allergies) was Xiuhtechtli -- holy songs that one exploded off my skin.
I literally had to wash it with alcohol over a dozen times before it started to go away but again, I don't know what caused that reaction either.
I actually emailed the lab about that too because I know they don't list all of the notes but as I said, I never heard back from them
So I just wanted to get a general sense from people, but I know "head" allergies can be very different for different people (skin allergies too but not as widely variable as headache triggers).

Wet: this smells like those soft plastic Strawberry Shortcake character toys that were scented like the characters' fruit (can't remember which character specifically this reminds me of). Eugh.
Dry: the plastic smell goes away (thankfully) but now it just smells like those rose shaped, scented soaps you'd find in a dish in a grandmother's bathroom...

I'm wondering if there are any notes that more commonly cause skin allergies than others? And more specifically - has anyone had an allergic reaction on their skin to Himerus?
I did and I'm trying to figure out what note(s) from it to avoid in future, but I'm a newbie and can only rule out Bergamot as a non-factor since I've tested others with that note with no problems...
I emailed the lab weeks ago with my question but never got a response 😞

I've never been able to wear "regular" perfume and was so excited when I came across bpal... Some work, some don't but I'd love if the elimination process were made a little easier for those of us with serious reactions to certain notes...
