We’re all familiar with the eye-watering, nose-itching sensation of walking past someone with overpowering perfume. While it could simply be a case of overkill, some of us still can’t stand strong fragrances, which could last through the day and linger even with a spray or two.

This doesn’t mean you have to skip out on fragrances altogether. With creative alternatives such as lotions to oils, sprays and even bracelets, you can now carry your favourite scent wherever you go.

7 Perfume Alternatives Perfect If You Can't Stand Strong Scents
Jo Malone London Lime Basil & Mandarin Body & Hand Lotion, $110

Scented lotions typically have a lighter fragrance compared to traditional perfumes and many of them are formulated with natural botanicals, and tend to absorb into skin in a way that isn’t too overpowering. If you can’t get enough of Jo Malone’s signature scent, lather this lightweight yet deeply nourishing formula onto skin for a pampering treatment. You may even forget that you’re not wearing perfume.
