Fragrances are one of the most swampy areas of the cosmetic and personal care industries; there’s a lot of muck mixed in and it’s usually unclear what’s really lurking there. That’s because a delicious fragrance is considered a trade secret and is allowed to be kept under tight wraps. The unintended result is that all kinds of mystery ingredients can end up inside your perfume bottle and – if you’ve learned anything from us – you know that it ain’t all good.
Transparency and health consciousness are key for perfume makers that are interested in reaching our wellnessy crowd and we’ve picked seven products that are especially remarkable. This is a much requested story from you, our readers! We hope you try a few of our favorite picks. Leave a note on your on favorites in the comments…
PHLUR’s Hanami Perfume | We’ve tried most of Phlur’s sustainable fragrances and Hanami’s figgy unisex scent is our fave. This brand is one of the first high-design, luxury brands we’ve seen do fragrance right!

Honestly pHresh Roll On in Rose | This little product took us completely by surprise. It’s a retro chic roll-on deodorant with magnesium oil built into the formula for an instant dose of mineral supplementation when applied to skin. Genius! And the natural rose scent doesn’t hurt either. CHECK OUT
Odacite Rose + Neroli Hydra-Vitalizing Treatment Mist | We’re huge fans of a facial mist here at TCM (there’s a bottle on every desk).
