@MickeySegal according to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557437/ it is not just fragrances, but also dyes. Possibly Exposure to cosmetic allergens or Use of cosmetic products ?

We've separated the skin contact reaction from the fragrance reaction, and use the fragrances reaction also for asthma. It seems odd, though, that a skin reaction can be caused by a fragrance in the air, and the inclusion of fragrance at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557437/ may actually be a contact phenomenon. But regardless, we'd want to use the fragrance part for asthma, where volatile organic compounds such as perfume are one of the major triggers of asthma, and these VOCs do not produce a skin reaction in asthma.
