Natural perfumes are becoming popular again. They cater to people with skin sensitivities or high ethical standards and smell just as good, if not better, than regular perfumes. Reputable natural perfume brands include Aftelier Perfumes, Roxana Illuminated Perfumes, Florascent, A Perfume Organic, Rich Hippie, Pacifica Perfume, Providence Perfume Company, and Ganesha's Garden among many others.

The Rebirth of Natural Perfume

The rebirth of natural perfumery has brought along a host of benefits, both to the wearer as well as the environment. Let's take a look at some of these advantages.

•Using natural essential oils instead of synthetics to create a scent brings physical and emotional healing properties that can be energy-enhancing, mood-lifting, relaxing and calming.

•Natural perfumes do not contain elements grown with toxins, pesticides, or other chemicals that lead to environmental damage and skin sensitivity.

•Synthetic scents derived from petrochemicals can result in nausea, irritation, and migraines.

•Unlike perfumes that contain synthetic components, natural perfumes are cruelty-free and are not tested on animals. Ingredients in mass-produced scents include musk and phthalates, which are believed to have led to the terrible mistreatment of animals.

•Combining two synthetic fragrances can smell pretty bad while natural perfumes made from essential oils can be layered or worn separately to create different scents, depending on your mood.

•Non-organic fragrances mask the skin while natural and organic perfumes create a more tailored scent on the person wearing it.

•Responsible organic brands avoid using unethical practices when creating their fragrances. Plus, all ingredients used are natural and of quality, such as rose, jasmine, violet, and lavender essential oils.

Natural Perfumes

Natural scents, made from blends of essential oils offer a more diverse range of unisex possibilities. These blends are made in a way that they naturally smell more masculine on a man and more feminine on a woman. As compared to alcohol-based perfumes, oil-based organic perfumes are non-drying and preferred by people with skin allergies. Dry skin has a difficult time retaining a scent. Some wearers with dry skin have found success with oil based perfumes.

Plus, oil-based perfumes tend to be more personal and intimate scents that are not overpowering to those people around you. Perfect for office use where scent and chemical sensitivities can be prevalent.

Last but not least, natural perfumes are actually better for your health. As per research, 60% of chemicals applied to the skin get absorbed into the bloodstream and end up in the liver. Long-term use of such chemicals can result in liver disease. On a much brighter note, natural perfumes are a great way to smell oh- so-good without all the chemicals. That's it for this week.
