Fragrances
During former CSW Director Rachel C. Lee’s tenure, CSW pursued a fragrance-free initiative. As part of the initiative, all CSW events were fragrance-free. We asked all participants to refrain from wearing scented products such as perfumes/colognes, hair products, cosmetics, and scented lotions while attending CSW events. We also requested participants to avoid using scented soaps, shampoos, and detergents prior to the event, as these products can trigger serious health issues for those with fragrance allergies and/or chemical sensitivities. CSW provided fragrance-free seating sections for those who required an additional precaution during an event. When possible, fragrance-free hand soap was provided in restrooms for the use of all CSW guests. While the initiative is now archived, CSW is happy to accommodate fragrance-free needs upon request, as part of our commitment to make our events inclusive and accessible.
More information on being fragrance-free can be found on our Share the Air page. You are also welcome to download our free toolkit “Accessible Spaces: A Fragrance-Free Toolkit.”
