Versace Eros and Allure Homme Sport give me splitting headaches. Anyone else have that reaction to colognes? Doesn't happen with all fragrances, just those two in particular.

Sauvage doesn't affect me me so it's probably not the hedione.

Iso e? Gives me weird headaches

Just as listmate Kocik said that ISO E can be an allergen/irritant. Looking at the scent pyramid for Allure H Sport, it appears that there can be two problematic ingredients namely aldehydes and what they list as amber is actually ambroxan which is very popular in modern perfumes. As for the Versace what they have listed as tonka bean may also be ambroxan. Many people have been complaining about ambroxan in the fragrance community. Try going easier on the trigger, but if the scents still are bothersome you may have to discontinue their use. Your health is the most important asset that you have.
