Long shot, but maybe you know the answer.
There is some chemical in certain shampoos that affects me more than most. The sensation is less like smelling and more like something is penetrating into my nose. It doesn't feel quite like burning or heat, but it's intense in a sort of similar way.
Sorry that's vague, but maybe this is a well-known thing.

- flemhans 6y agoCould it be peppermint?
- _jal 6y agoOthers mentioned possible candidates, add eucalyptus to the list. Lots of people react to it that way.
