Your Guide to Natural Perfume

To me there is nothing like spritzing yourself with your personal favourite perfume to make you feel well put together and ready for the day! Designed to provide long lasting scents without the headachey strength often associated with synthetic fragrances, natural perfumes are formulated with plant-derived ingredients, and there's now truly a scent for every preference. Whether you prefer a light and fresh fragrance, warm florals or essential oil blends, there are natural perfumes to suit everyone, as well as trial packs for those who can't decide or simply love them all!

Benefits of natural perfume

Formulated with botanical extracts, herbal ingredients and essential oils, natural perfumes actually utilise plant-based scents instead of synthetics to create beautiful, light and refreshing fragrances to suit every preference. Synthetic perfumes can actually cause headaches and nausea in those who are sensitive to strong artificial smells, making natural perfume formulas ideal alternatives to mainstream fragrances. Read more about synthetic fragrance sensitivity in my blog post Is your perfume making you sick. Another is that many of these ingredients also feature naturally aromatherapy qualities, helping to calm both the mind and body with every application.
