Feel Good About Your Scent.


We adore the smell of perfumes, oils, fragrant scents of most kinds. It makes us feel pretty, feminine and is a great mood booster.

BUT, more and more we are reading that many chemicals found in traditional perfumes are potential neurotoxins, carcinogens, endocrine (hormone) disruptors, or else are environmental toxins. (See: http://www.care2.com/greenliving/toxic-effects-of-perfume.html; http://enjoysimplicity.com/2011/02/toxic-fragrance-in-your-perfume).

The good news is there are some very pretty lower-toxic options to consider.

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Pacifica® French Lilac™ solid perfume ($9.00 at Sephora.com) and most other of the Pacifica solid perfume scents. (French Lilac Notes: lilac, magnolia leaves, heliotrope, ylang ylang, hyacinth, nectarine.)


Tocca® also makes two solid perfumes, Brigitte and Cleopatra, that smell pretty and feminine. (Brigitte Notes: Rhubarb, Papaya, Ginger, Rose, Iris, Saffron, Sandalwood, Musk. Cleopatra Notes: grapefruit, lush greens, white jasmine, tuberose, patchouli, golden amber, vanilla musk.)

Fresh® Sugar Lemon Eau de Parfume is also a low-toxic, great smelling option. (Notes: Italian lemon, mandarin, lychee flower, orange blossom, ginger flower.)

Smelling Good Sweat-Pea!
