Yes, our perfumes are all-natural. We follow ISO standard 9235 on natural perfumery materials.

We personally make our perfumes in small batches in Virginia. Once we’ve made our perfume concentrate, we allow it to sit for at least 2 months, then dilute the perfumes with alcohol and allow them to sit for at least 1 - 2 months. After they’re ready, we chill filter them until they’re clear and pass stability testing, and then we bottle, label, and package them by hand.

Because each person’s skin chemistry impacts how long a perfume will last on them, it’s hard to say. However, our fragrances have a long stance because we formulate them with longevity in mind. They won’t typically last as long as synthetic (mixed media) fragrances will, but you should get several hours of wear from a light spraying of our fragrances. To help them last even longer, we recommend spraying on moisturized skin.

You can, but please remember that natural perfumes can stain light-colored clothing and temporarily stain light-colored hair. We recommend spraying only on darker clothing and doing a test spray in an inconspicuous area before spraying more liberally.

We’d recommend consulting your physician before using our perfumes in this case.

Our perfumes are non-toxic and free from synthetics, phthalates, parabens, formaldehydes, and nitromusks.
