Following a rigorous NATURAL, regimen calls for a few simple swaps, like vegan food, organic makeup and beauty products, and so on. However, there is one particular area in which most people struggle: eco-friendly perfumes.
Most of us believe that ‘perfumes are all about smelling good and have nothing to do with good ingredients, toxic-free chemicals, or being natural.‘ However, we at GoodGuilt understand the sense of guilt that comes with smelling wonderful, but with fragrances that include toxic ingredients and chemicals that can negatively impact the planet. So here, we’ve listed down the best eco-friendly perfume brands in the market that are all about being planet-safe and guilt-free!
1. Henry Rose
Henry Rose is hands down our most favorite eco-friendly perfume. It is a cruelty-free, hypoallergenic, gender-neutral perfume, that’s brand verified and certified by two clean and sustainable organizations – Cradle to Cradle and Environmental Working Group.
Toxic ingredients such as parabens and phthalates are not used in this natural perfume brand. And the bottles are made from 90% recycled glass, are 100% recyclable, while the caps are made from materials that are sustainably sourced.
2. Cultus Artem
Cultus Artem’s eco-friendly perfume is handcrafted in small amounts in the United States. It’s a gender-neutral perfume brand with safe ingredients and no toxic or questionable chemicals, a no-go for a guilt-free natural scent. Slow beauty is valued by this eco-friendly perfume brand, which works to eliminate waste at every production stage. Their packaging is appealing, and most importantly, sustainable.

For a guilt-free scent, Abel offers scents that are 100% vegan and natural. These natural fragrances are sourced from plants and are created with an organic, food-grade alcohol base. Natural oils and absolutes that are certified organic raw materials are used to make Abel’s fragrances.
The Cyan Nori by Abel, which is sweet, salty, and juicy with white peach and a salty deep-sea dry down, is by far the most refreshing non-toxic mist.

We hope the male readers are still reading as we’ve got you covered with this gender-neutral perfume brand that also makes cruelty-free cologne and solid perfumes for men.

These natural vegan perfumes are made with organically extracted oils from Germany that are left raw to preserve antioxidants.
The packaging of these eco-friendly perfumes is their most striking feature. Patchouli Rose is the cologne we recommend the most.
