Perfumes are increasingly used in an ever wider variety of fields, including perfumes proper, cosmetic products, hygienic products, drugs, detergents and other household products, plastics, industrial greases, oils and solvents, foods, etc. Their composition is usually complex; it involves numerous natural and synthetic sweet-smelling constituents, more than 5,000 of which are known (13). Perfumes may produce toxic and, more often, allergic respiratory disorders (asthma), as well as neurological (10) and cutaneous disorders. They are the most common cause of skin allergy to cosmetic products (1, 11) and one of the most important causes of skin allergy to topical drugs or even to syrups which may reactivate contact dermatitis (24). People engaged in the manufacturing of these products may become sensitized to perfumes.
香水正越来越广泛地应用于各种领域，包括香水本身、化妆品、卫生用品、药品、洗涤剂及其他家居用品、塑料制品、工业润滑脂、油类和溶剂、食品等。其成分通常很复杂，包含众多天然和合成的芳香成分，已知的此类成分超过5000种（13）。香水可能会引发毒性反应，更常见的是导致过敏性呼吸道疾病（哮喘），以及神经方面（10）和皮肤方面的疾病。它们是化妆品引起皮肤过敏最常见的原因（1, 11），也是外用药物甚至糖浆引发皮肤过敏的最重要原因之一，糖浆可能会使接触性皮炎复发（24）。从事这些产品生产的人员可能会对香水过敏。
