A: Natural fragrances are essential oils and isolates derived from botanical ingredients that are harvested from the earth and not from a lab (synthetic). The majority of perfumes in the commercial marketplace contain high amounts of synthetic fragrances, which are manufactured inexpensively and derived from petrochemicals and other chemical enhancers to create a stronger, longer lasting fragrance.
A: All the ingredients in our fragrances are 100% natural and synthetic free. Pour le Monde is currently only one of two companies with fragrances awarded certification by the esteemed the Natural Products Association. All of our parfums are free of the harmful chemicals found in many synthetic fragrances such as phthalates, parabens, sulfates, chemical sunscreens, formaldehyde and petrochemicals.
A: The shelf life is like most commercial fragrances, 3 years and even longer if stored in a cool, dark place without humidity. On the skin, natural fragrances gently evolve and last around 2 or more hours, depending on how dry or oily your skin type. Every body’s skin is different so the longevity and the spirit of the notes smell and last differently. What we love about natural perfumes is that the fragrance is not overpowering and will stay within a few feet of your body. Basically, when you leave the room, so will your fragrance!
A: It depends on your sensitivity. Many people who get headaches, allergies or skin reactions from fragrances, typically have a sensitivity to the synthetics used in so many of the perfumes on the market. However, if you have allergens to certain botanicals like flowers, etc. you may still have sensitivity with natural fragrances as well. It is always best to patch test products before you use them and we suggest experiencing our samples pack prior to purchasing our full sized product. If you have any concerns, we suggest that you consult with a medical professional prior to usage.
