If you want to reduce or eliminate the use of synthetic fragrances in your daily life, here are excellent alternatives that are kinder to your body and more respectful of others who may have sensitivities:
Personal Care Products
- Deodorants: Use fragrance-free deodorants or those scented with natural essential oils. Look for brands specifically labeled “unscented” or “hypoallergenic.” Or go a step further for not just fragrance free, but totally clean.
- Lotions & Creams: Choose unscented body lotions or creams made with simple ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or aloe vera.
- Cosmetics & Skincare: Opt for clean brands like VRAI Cosmetics (combining cosmetics with skincare) (use HELLOVRAI20 for 20% off your first order), or other reputable brands that prioritize fragrance-free, clean formulas.
- Shampoo & Conditioner: Go for fragrance-free versions or products scented with 100% pure essential oils, avoiding those labeled with “fragrance” or “parfum.”
Home Care Products
- Laundry Detergents: Use natural, unscented detergents or those with mild scents derived from essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus.
- Dryer Sheets: Swap dryer sheets for wool dryer balls, which reduce static and can be scented with a drop or two of essential oil if desired.
- Household Cleaners: Many cleaning products are available in unscented or naturally scented varieties using ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon.
Personal Fragrances
- Genuine Essential Oils: Replace traditional perfumes with a dab of essential oils like lavender, orange, or sandalwood diluted with a carrier oil. These can be customized to create unique, subtle, and natural scents.
- Essential Oil Blends: Companies like Young Living offer blends formulated for gentle aromatherapy instead of overpowering fragrances.

Air Fresheners
- Essential Oil Diffusers: Instead of air fresheners, use an essential oil diffuser with calming oils like bergamot or lemongrass.
- Natural Sachets: Freshen up small spaces with sachets filled with dried herbs like lavender or rosemary.
- Homemade Sprays: Create a room spray with water, witch hazel, and essential oils.
