More luxurious, sweet & cruelty-free perfumes for your wish list
In the first instalment, I recommended You by Glossier, Pop by Stella McCartney, The Coveted Duchess Rose by Penhaligons and 101 by Bon Parfumeur. These beautiful scents prove that you don't need to go against your morals to wear a luxury scent. As I referred to previously, many famous luxury brands, including Chanel, Armani and Dior, still sell in mainland China (where animal testing of products is usually still a requirement). However, there are many cruelty-free choices that deserve more appreciation and are worthy of being your signature scent.
1. Delicious Rhubarb & Rose by Molton Brown.
The ultra-feminine fruity and floral notes make this perfume a summery, mood-boosting scent. I would recommend this as a cruelty-free alternative to Armani Diamonds, as they both feature raspberry, lychee, rose and vanilla.
2. Tiger by her Side by Sana Jardin
Tiger by her Side is an exotic and head-turning 'floriental' fragrance. As well as being cruelty-free, Sana Jardin seek to empower women through sustainable movements, including helping Moroccan female flower harvesters to upcycle flower waste. According to Cult Beauty, this strong and empowering perfume is inspired by the myths of Ancient Egyptian High Priestesses, whose powers allowed them to walk with tigers by their side.
3. Flower Moon by Pacifica
Released in 2021, Flower Moon is a dreamy, musky and ultra-sweet scent by Pacifica. Pacifica products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. They have a wide range of scents available and many of them are fruity and/or floral. With Flower Moon, I particularly love the combination of jasmine and peach and the pink and purple ombré bottle.
Please share in the comments if there are any more cruelty-free perfumes that you recommend. I plan to share a part three to this post in the coming weeks. Thank you for reading, Gina.
