Hong Kong's Consumer Council recently tested 40 perfumes and found that some luxury brands contain high levels of fragrance allergens. Gucci's "The Alchemist's Garden Tears from the Moon Eau de Parfum," Bvlgari Parfums' "Allegra Passeggiata," and Acqua di Parma's "Colonia Eau Cologne" each contained 10 types of allergens. The watchdog group cautioned that these allergens could worsen skin conditions, especially for eczema sufferers. The council advised women planning to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and families with infants or young children to use such products with caution. The perfumes in question received low ratings in the allergen category compared to other products tested.
