I'm enamored with the idea of perfume and with your concept and aesthetic here... Tragically, however, perfumes have always made me unbearably sick. I have tried so many over the years. I was curious if there was anything of the more gentle and natural variety that you could speak on behalf of? I've not yet found any that I like that fit said description

I am so sorry to hear that, how awful! I’m afraid the only natural perfumes that I’ve tried are the ones that I’ve made myself (solid perfumes). They’re extremely gentle and kind to the skin, and I’m going to be uploading a tutorial for a solid perfume recipe in a couple of days.

Is your problem related to headaches/sickness caused by perfume or allergies?

But, I know that Aftelier perfumes are all-natural. I’ve read Essence and Alchemy by Mandy Aftel and I loved the book, so I really hope that the perfumes are equally good!

A few more natural perfume stores are: Grasse Au Parfum, LUSH, MCMC and I know Korres perfumes are made without several harmful ingredients. 

This article lists more. 

If you would like me to make a moodboard for any of the natural perfumes, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I’d love to learn more about them (and I’m sure several non-allergic people would also be happy to try out something healthier!).
