Organic/Natural Perfume

Bunnie

Does anyone know of any brand that do organic or natural perfume?

Also, any shops that would stock them - like john lewis or debenhams? I need to smell things first before I can make a decision.

I know you can make some in a couple of weeks but Im just looking for a bit of a treat (not too expensive though)! However, if someone has any good recipies ill give them a try.

Well if anyone can enlighten me I would appreciate some help! Thanks

maybe bodyshop - the oils. or Islamic shops sell the oil - non alcohol perfumes, or perfume parlour - a webshop which do perfumes oils.

i can only think that the oils without alcohol could be an organic product. or if you look up aromatherapy books and magazines they could give combinations of essentials oils (holland&barratt or boots), to make perfumes or atomisers.

Have you tried the solid perfumes from Lush?

They have branches in most big towns and cities, so you should be able to have a sniff in advance....

Thanks for the replies guys.

I tend to stay away from Lush. I make most all of my own products and find that Lush put chemicals, like SLS in soaps and hair products, that having lived without them I find a bit unnecessary. I think Lush are more a 'handmade' company than a natural product one.

Also having looked at a few homemade recipes I think perfume should contain alcohol so oils on their own wouldnt work. Made one a while ago from alcohol and spices and left it to settle for a month. And after all that time waiting it smelt boggin.

I have seen some brands online which are selling for about £60 a bottle(don't rememebr the volume) but theres no opportunity to 'try before you buy' and I was a bit unwilling to spend £60 on something special and then hate it! Ooft so fussy.

I was just looking for some perfume, branded or not, that is available in the shops and doesn't contain any of those nasty chemicals - only the good ones.;)

Hi Bunnie,

The best thing to do is make your own blends, at least that way you get to make it with the natural essences tou like.

I like some of Lush's products, I am a big fan of their soaps. I used to buy my perfumes from the Perfume shop labeled natural but when I looked at the ingridients they didnt seem to be. I stumbled upon a website for Lvseven Naturals, they sells all natural perfumes which I quite like and they smell natural.

I saw some on Naturally Thinking website this week, I have just placed my first order with them as I thought their prices were really reasonable. They have 1/2 price natural shampoo (no sls or parabens) for £3 for a 250ml bottle. I ordered some oils and bases for making my own too. I saw the perfume and thought it looked interesting but I don't wear perfume, I just mix some oils in with a base and wear fragrance that way.
