Can I use perfume with nut notes if I have a nut allergy?Updated 2 months ago

Yes, you can. Perfumes with notes like almond, hazelnut or other nuts do not contain real nuts. It’s not possible to extract a usable perfume oil directly from nuts – instead, synthetic fragrance molecules are used to replicate the scent character.

As a result, these perfumes do not contain the proteins that trigger allergic reactions, and are considered safe to use even if you have a nut allergy.

This does not affect the quality of the perfume. On the contrary, synthetic ingredients can sometimes be more stable and help the scent last longer over time.
