Hello,

The itching and burning sensation in vagina after use of fresh scent do indicates sensitivity and allergic reaction to the content. Following measures will help you:
- Avoid further use of such scent in future
- Sitz bath with lukewarm water added epsom salt and lavender oil
- Local application of aloe vera gel
- Use of emolient such as calamine lotion
- Anti histamine tablet as Cetirizine, Loratidine or Montelukast
- Avoid intercourse, sex toys if involved
- Maintain hydration with plenty of liquids

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
