Oh god, I hear you so hard on the fragrance sensitivity thing. It's the absolutely surest and fastest way to trigger a migraine for me.
Even just getting a couple whiffs of a few things that I'm sensitive to can do it. :( This makes testing out new products really ... not good.
My mom has it worse, but we're sensitive to the same things, so that's handy, at least--I can usually tell if something is going to trigger a reaction in either of us. But for example, I literally just went into Bath & Body Works, did NOT smell anything intentionally, picked up two items that I then bought for my sister, and walked out, and that was enough to trigger a migraine.
