The Fragrance-Free Experiment

Theo Grant

Perfume aisles, dryer sheets, scented candles: synthetic fragrance is woven into daily life so thoroughly that most people stop noticing it. This account walks through thirty days of cutting it out, what actually changed in headaches, sleep, and mood, which products were hardest to replace, and what the label word "fragrance" is legally allowed to hide. A grounded, first-hand look at a simple experiment, not a crusade.
