Purpose Of Review: The main aims of fragrances are to create pleasing scents or to mask unpleasant odors. We hereby review their main exposure sources, presumed benefits, and unwanted effects, with special attention to allergic contact dermatitis (prevalence, regulatory environment, risk assessment methodology, and preventive measures).
Recent Findings: Fragrances elicit positive emotions and presumably have therapeutic benefits related to stress reduction and memory enhancement.

The standard procedure for photopatch testing includes 24-h occlusion of the allergen, followed by irradiation at 5 J/cm2 ultraviolet A (UVA). Due to the timing, a separate visit to the clinic is needed for UV irradiation. The aim of this study was to determine whether a reduction in occlusion time from 24 h to 1 h, in order to simplify the testing procedure, influences test results when photopatch testing with ketoprofen.

Since predictive differentiation of photoallergenic from phototoxic reactions, induced by low molecular weight compounds, represents a current problem, we tried to improve the differentiation between the two reactions by using a modified protocol of the local lymph node assay (LLNA). Briefly, groups of female BALB/c mice received compound solution or vehicle alone on the dorsum of both ears on 3 consecutive days. Immediately after compound application indicated groups of mice were exposed to a UVA light-dose of 10 J/cm2.

This review summarizes published and unpublished data of our 15-year experience with sunscreen allergy and photoallergy. From 1981-1996, 402 patients with suspected clinical photosensitivity were patch and photopatch tested with the commercial sunscreens and facial cosmetics that they had used and with chemical UV absorbers, fragrance materials, preservatives, and emollients. 80 patients (20%) (28 men, 52 women) demonstrated allergic and/or photoallergic contact dermatitis to 1 or more UV absorber(s).
