Who uses perfume/cologne?

I’ve seen a few people on here suggest we stay away from using perfumes/fragrances. Does anybody here use them regularly without problems?

That doesnt makes any sense. Dont believe everything man

I say this largely because I purchased a fragrance the other day containing coumarin. After googling coumarin I’ve found it’s a 5ar inhibitor so I’m quite concerned that I may have done myself some harm.

If you are so concerned, spray it on your clothes, not on your skin and you will be fine.

In future I will mate but I’ve already used it on skin unfortunately. Both today and yesterday. These reactions usually take a few days to set in.

Agreed, I’ve read cologne and perfumes are made from whale fat I believe or something that increases estrogen levels, I read this years ago so don’t remember exactly except that it can increase estrogen levels, so if used spray it on clothing and not on your skin.

I used aftershave yesterday and have developed a new symptom as a consequence.

What aftershave did you use and what symptom have you developed mate?

I used diesel and 1884 mate. sore nipples is a first. Sprayed it on my neck. Also got worse anxiety,headaches sore shoulders, gums, mouth, itchy eyes agitation. Maybe a coincidence but the nipps are new

Sorry to hear that mate. Think we’re definitely best off spraying on our clothes as others here have suggested. Keep it away from our skin.
