No. We will never use fragrance oils in our products. We use natural essential oils, absolutes, CO2 extractions, and tinctures in addition to the same aromachemicals used by the major fragrance houses around the world. While there is nothing inherently unsafe or morally wrong with using fragrance oils, we feel that these products are inappropriate for use in fine fragrance and better options exist.

No. But we do list most of them. I will specifically be sure to list any ingredients that people are commonly sensitive to like super ambers or cinnamon oil. Additionally, common allergens are listed separately in order of concentration for all products. We are not members of the IFRA, but do voluntarily follow IFRA concentration guidelines in an effort to ensure that all of our products are skin safe.

Yes. Most orders will receive one or more free perfume sample(s)! These are typically chosen at random by me - or I will occasionally choose a sample that I think you will like based on your purchase. Samples are not guaranteed, but will almost always be given on orders totaling $40+ 

If you would like to request a specific free sample, please write it in the order notes when checking out. I will make an effort to accommodate any requests, but specific requests cannot be guaranteed due to available supply.

The vast majority of our formulas are fully vegan. We do not work with any materials that are extracted directly from animals. Synthetic alternatives will always be chosen. However, there are certain materials we do use (beeswax absolute and butter extract for example) that are extracted from animal products. In this case, we ensure that the materials are coming from a supplier that follows sustainable, cruelty-free practices. If a product contains these types of raw materials, “NOT VEGAN” will be printed prominently in the product description.

Short answer is yes - but the long answer is that nearly all perfumes meet these requirements, and they are not meaningful measures of a product's safety. 

For example - diethyl phthalate (DEP) is the only phthalate that is commonly used in fragrance, and it is uncommon to find in independent artisanal fine fragrances like Cirrus products. DEP is most commonly used in fragrance oils (functional and home fragrance products used in candles, soap, lotion, wax melts, plugin and reed diffusers) and the kinds of inexpensive dupe fragrance concentrates that are diluted by amateur perfumers. With that said, DEP has been extensively researched and was NOT one of the phthalates (a broad category of chemicals that are used in everything from vinyl flooring and fabrics to IV tubing and blood bags) that was of concern for safe use and endocrine disruption. It has been proven safe for use on the skin over and over again.
