Just a note on the potential allergy reactions you had with a couple of those - don't leap to assume that the likeliest suspects are botanical-sounding notes like dandelion or juniper, because those fragrances may not actually contain anything sourced from real dandelions or junipers at all. Unless you're buying from a specialist line that notes up front that they only use naturally-derived ingredients, then the odds are high that any scent you're buying, especially in conventional perfumery like these lines, is going to be composed of a mix of both natural and synthetic fragrance ingredients. And the listed notes of a perfume don't necessarily correspond directly to actual ingredients; many notes are actually accords, specific ingredient blends that when combined in the right proportion give the olfactory impression of some other thing entirely.
