In Hong Kong, the Consumer Council conducted a study that revealed high levels of allergens in some popular fragrance products, including scents from Gucci and Bvlgari, according to information provided by Kazinform and based on data from SCMP.
Experts tested 40 different fragrance products, and in three of them, they found 10 different allergens that could negatively affect the skin, especially in people predisposed to eczema and other dermatological conditions.
The most expensive among the fragrances tested was the Gucci perfume called The Alchemist's Garden Tears from the Moon Eau de Parfum, priced at 2850 Hong Kong dollars (approximately $365) for 100 ml.
The fragrance Allegra Passeggiata from Bvlgari Parfums was also found to contain 10 potentially allergenic components, with a price of 2260 Hong Kong dollars per bottle. Colonia Eau de Cologne from Acqua di Parma was also included in the list, priced at 997 Hong Kong dollars.
It is important to note that the presence of allergens does not necessarily mean danger for all consumers. However, people with sensitive skin and chronic skin conditions are strongly advised to carefully examine the product's ingredients before making a purchase.
