Where are your products made?
Our fragrance oil is made in a magical place in the hills above Grasse, in the south of France.
We then bring our concentrates to the Cotswolds, a beautiful corner of England, where it’s blended with our natural, fermentation-grade alcohol, bottled, and assembled into its outer packaging.
Our packaging is produced by a small, family-owned printer in Kent.
We care about and have genuine respect for the materials we work with. Everything is small-batch and artisan
Are your perfumes tested on animals?
No.
We are a cruelty-free brand.
For this reason, we also do not sell in certain countries which require animal-testing
Do your perfumes contain animal products?
No.
We do not use animal-derived ingredients in our formulations
I’m vegan or vegetarian — can I wear your perfumes?
Yes.
Our perfumes are vegan-friendly and cruelty-free
Are your perfumes “clean” or “non-toxic”?
There are a lot of buzzwords in fragrance and beauty, and many are poorly defined. At worst, they can become ill-informed scaremongering.
We’re not interested in marketing gimmicks.
As the founder and creator, with years of experience in perfume-making, I take this incredibly seriously. I personally investigate every single ingredient used in our perfumes. We are strictly regulated by UK, EU and US cosmetic and perfume laws. And, we fully comply with the International Fragrance Association ( IFRA ) guidelines to protect both people and the environment.
Moreover, I develop our fragrances on my own skin, wear them daily, and give them to the people I love.
We work slowly, carefully, and transparently, within a small-batch production ethos
What we don’t use
Without getting too technical, we do not add:
- Silicones
- Parabens
- Harsh sulfates (SLS, SLES, ALS)
- Ethanolamines
- Formaldehydes or formaldehyde releasers
- Phthalates
- PEGs
- Chemical SPFs
By most modern definitions, that would make our perfumes “clean and non-toxic”
The term 'Clean Beauty' is a redundant marketing claim. In the fragrance world, if a product follows IFRA regulations it is already 'clean' by global safety and compliance standards. IFRA provides strict guidelines on restricted and prohibited materials to ensure consumer safety. Using 'clean; as a marketing claim implies that other regulated fragrances are in some way 'not clean' or 'unsafe' - which is simply not the case
What alcohol do you use?
We use natural, fermentation-grade alcohol
What does “ethical and sustainable” mean to you?
As a small independent business, behaving ethically and sustainably is at the heart of what we do.
We try not to reduce ethics and sustainability to labels that can be bought (for example, by self-appointed commercial organisations with nicely designed stamps) or jazzy corporate statements
For us, it’s about behaviour:
- Working in small batches - so we avoid waste and over-production
- Paying our partners on time for their work, or the raw materials they produce for us
- Building mutually respectful long-term relationships
- Knowing the people we work with - both in our supply chain - and also with all partners we work with
- Taking the time to do things properly. Slow perfume
Above all, we choose to work in a slow, respectful and thoughtful way
