Description
Fragrance (Parfum) is a complex blend of natural and synthetic aromatic compounds used to add scent to products. While it may offer mood-enhancing and stress-reducing benefits through aromatherapy, it poses risks of allergic reactions, respiratory irritation, and skin sensitivity. The specific composition and concentration are key factors determining the severity of these effects. Some fragrance ingredients are also under investigation for potential endocrine disrupting properties.
