yep this happens to me, I also suffer from migraines.I'm a perfume whore so I have a few tried trues that won't trigger a headache. Also when I wake up if I feel a migraine/headacje coming on I won't wear any perfume. Here's a few of my faves:

 

1) Lovely , by our homegirl, SJP 

2)Ralph Lauren Blue

3)Narciso Rodrigues

4)Kiehl's Original Musk................

 

one perfume I've loved but can REALLY give me a headache is Miracle by Lancome

Hey-thanks for the recommendations-I will give those a try.  BTW-and you'll get a kick out of this because you are my fellow homegirl-I used to sell fragrances at McAlpin's Kenwood, and I never had this headache issue except when I went into the Lancome section and everything they had was headache-inducing to me so I know how you feel about Miracle!

i'm very picky/sensitive about perfumes too.  i hate anything too heady because it just makes me feel nauseous.  i'd love to wear all those super-sophisticated scents, but i just can't.

i wear the White Musk body spray from The Body Shop, cause it's not too heavy, being a body spray rather than perfume.  but i don't even wear it everyday...i find some of my body washes leave a scent that isn't too strong, especially the Philosophy body washes and 3-in-1s.

for special occasions, i wear Trish MacEvoy #3 which is so light and nice and not overly potent.

I know what you mean.  Some perfumes are just WAAAY too strong.

I love Hiris by Hermes - it's very clean and very light.  Sometimes a little too light, but the smell is just so clean and crisp.

Sweet but light is Petite Cherie by Annick Goutal.  It's fruity and sweet but not cloying.
