10 Natural Perfumes for a Stunning Scent

If you’ve ever been looking through fragrances and been hit with something that seems just right, only to realize the ingredients list is filled with toxins and artificial fragrances you don’t ever want to touch your skin, this collection is for you. Use it to discover the best choices for natural perfumes and fragrances.

But what does “natural” mean to the perfume industry? Well, like a lot of things, there is a spectrum for fragrance. It starts with conventional synthetic perfumes composed almost entirely of petroleum by-products and ends with essential oils. In other words, natural perfumes lay far away from their conventional synthetic lookalikes as they most typically use botanical extracts, sugar-cane alcohol, and safe synthetics. Therefore, the brands we curated for you here value sustainable, vegan, and ethically-sourced ingredients. They’re leading the way for the best non-toxic perfumes with innovative formulas. Read on for a closer look at some of our favorites.

Pour Le Monde

Pour Le Monde is known as a true innovator in the all-natural perfume industry. That’s because their formulas are some of the very few that are completely synthetic-free, relying on essential oils and grain alcohol to create their signature scents. We feature their Together perfume here, which, like each Pour Le Monde fragrance, gives 5% of sales to charity.

Skylar Fragrance

This brand features hypoallergenic perfume made with botanical extracts paired with safe and clean synthetics. For example, check out their best-selling eco-friendly perfume, Isle Escape, to enjoy a vegan formula made without phthalates, parabens or synthetic dyes.

Phlur Perfume

Similarly, Phlur creates their perfumes with botanical extracts and safe synthetics and without parabens, phthalates, or sulfates. We feature Phlur’s Hepcat fragrance, made with vetiver responsibly sourced from Madagascar.

Floral Street Perfume

Floral Street is decidedly a part of the slow beauty movement. With ethically-sourced and vegan ingredients, they keep their signature non-toxic perfume formulas clean and cruelty-free. Not to mention their chic packaging, which is all recyclable. The boxes go a step further with biodegradable materials from FSC-certified forests.

By Rosie Jane Perfume

Like Skylar, By Rosie Jane formulas feature organic cane sugar alcohol, a high-quality alternative to the conventional alcohols used in other perfumes. For example, cane sugar alcohol doesn’t dry out the skin like it’s counterpart, and the organic certification ensures no chemicals were used in it’s growing, so no harmful toxins will end up on your skin. We’ve featured their eponymous natural, non-toxic perfume, Rosie.
