Vegan and Natural Fragrances

The question of ethics and the environment has profoundly transformed part of the fragrance industry over the past decade — pioneering brands have shown that it is possible to create fragrances of exceptional quality without using animal-derived ingredients, without practices harmful to biodiversity, and with total transparency in the supply chain. Natural or high-natural-content fragrances offer a different olfactive experience — more alive, more fluctuating, less uniform than entirely synthetic fragrances, but of a beauty and authenticity that the best chemical reconstitutions cannot always equal. Commodity, a minimalist American house, offers pared-back fragrances evoking natural textures — paper, milk, moss — with remarkable formal purity. Hiram Green, an artisan perfumer based in Amsterdam, works with exceptionally high percentages of naturals. Atelier Cologne builds its cologne absolues on the idea that exceptional natural raw materials can speak for themselves.
