I have never tried oils, and yes its because of my asthma. Perfume affects me as bad as smoking does, so I hate to be around people who plaster it on their bodies, straight inhaler time at that point.
SS oils are cool, they can either have a strong smell but some can be very subtle in smell and it might not mess with ya. If you wanna try something a little strong to see if you can take it start with Kush. My moms always liked Blue Nile and Egyptian Musk- I think BN is the milder of the two. Sex on the Beach is pretty tame as well.
