The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term.
For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance by INCI standards.
One example is Calendula flower extract. Calendula is an essential oil that still imparts a scent or 'fragrance'.
Depending on the blend, the ingredients in the mixture can cause allergies and sensitivities on the skin. Some ingredients that are known EU allergens include linalool and citronellol.
Parfum can also be used to mask or cover an unpleasant scent.

I was really hyped by all the advertising, saying it was good for acne prone skin knowing the 4 different hyaluronic acids.
Sadly, it gave me huge breakouts that still follow me weeks later.
On top of that, my skin felt sticky and it is hard to set with powder.
That is my personal experience. I sincerely hope this product works out for other people.
