My skin is also quite sensitive to certain things containing heavy perfumes. Some have caused me to develop rashes. Again, not usually natural scents. I think that if I get one just for sniffing now and then, it will be nice. I doubt I'd want to put it on my skin, even so. I usually use Dove soap or a chamomile bath wash. Shampoos tend to mostly be OK for me, but I've had a few cause irritation. Whenever I've started a new medication, I've been sure not to change products for a while. That's important.
Some essential oils are more pure than others.

BirdDancer, you might do well with a diffuser or a similar method.

I use Dove unscented, too. I often use glycerin based soaps and/or Dr. Bonner's products.

Fern is more up on the essential oil facts. It has been awhile for me and things change.
