Why should we not gift perfumes?

In a practical sense, perfumes can sometimes cause allergic reactions or headaches to sensitive people. That’s another reason why it’s not always a safe gift.

Some people believe gifting perfumes brings bad luck in relationships. It’s a cultural superstition in many places. However, it’s not universal—many still gift perfumes without worry.

Perfumes are very personal choices, since everyone has different preferences for fragrance. A scent you like may not suit the receiver. That’s why some people avoid gifting perfumes unless they are sure of the person’s taste.
