Let's be honest - if you haven't made the switch to natural or at least cleaner fragrance yet, it's probably because you are totally hooked on the perfume you usually wear, and you're thinking there can't be anything near as good in the natural world, surely?
While it's true that natural perfume won't have the longevity or scent throw (sillage) that synthetic scents do, they also don't come with the health risks (think migraine, brain fog, anxiety, hormone disruption and more). And modern natural perfumes are simply gorgeous - offering depth, clarity and complexity to rival the big guys (and maybe even outdo them!)
So without further ado, here are our recommendations if you're looking for a natural perfume swap for some of the best-selling women's fragrances on the market.
