Health and perfume

Hey gents,

Do you ever consider the potential of endocrine/hormone disrupting compounds found in perfumes?

We understand how certain chemicals like parabens and phthalates found in personal care products disrupt the endocrine system.

But in perfume Its kind of tricky for me as they usually have a complex fragrance mixture. Possibly not all ingredients labeled, and if they are they could be grouped under “fragrance/parfum”.

Even then who will actually read and research before purchase or use.

Not suggesting perfume itself is necessarily harmful. But as men we understand health comes first. So im more interested in how you guys optimize for health by minimizing unnecessary exposure while still enjoying fragrances.

I sometimes just spray on my clothing, maybe arms and avoid the neck.

I feel more confident with Roll ons / attars on the neck, although im not sure wether oil based fragrances are actually any safer than sprays.

What are your thoughts on this?

Do you have any advice or tips?
