Fragrance ingredients

We believe in being transparent about what goes in the products you use.  That’s why we share the ingredient palette that our perfumers currently select from to create our scents. 

Our fragrance ingredient palette encompasses all of the possible ingredients from which our perfumers can choose when formulating our fragrances for our products. This fragrance ingredient palette is not just for our fine fragrances but is used across our entire range of beauty, fashion and home products.

Safety is non-negotiable for all of our products. And we go above and beyond regulatory requirements worldwide.  We comply with the standards set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) and independently review the safety and environmental impact of our fragrance ingredients. We are proud to share information on our fragrance palette in the interests of helping our customers increase their confidence in the safety of our products.
