Cruelty free perfume anyone?

[Fluffycloudland77]

Nice ones. I miss perfume.

Not ones like Floris.

What part of perfume production involves cruelty? Genuine question

Animal testing. I buy cruelty free with skincare, makeup, hair care, house stuff but perfumes a sticking point so far.

I’d love to waft around in a cloud of Chanel Chance like I used to.

You could have a look at Ffern. They are Organic and cruelty free

I’ve spent a lot of time on this one over the years…especially since Stella McCartney sold to Coty and high ruled out her options!! I struggled to find anything great but good so far are Shay and Blue (can buy on M&S), Glossier (my favourite so far as also can get a solid for the handbag), I’m told Fenty beauty do a perfume and Primark does some cheap ones but they don’t last long.

Stella was going to be my saviour too.

Liz Earle does one too, and I looked at m&s ones, they do get good reviews.

I buy Eden Perfumes.

Two that smell similar to my old favourite Chanel Allure and Gabrielle.

Eden perfumes are fab! They do a lot of dupes too so if you have a signature scent you can keep it.

I like Liz Earle, nos 1 and 15. Body Shop? M&S?

They spray animals with perfume?

What’s the cruelty-free alternative - testing on humans? And is there a safety tradeoff with cruelty-free products?

Sorry for derailing the thread but I’ve been genuinely scratching my head about this all night. Happy to be educated.

No they lock them in restraints and drop it in their eyes.

Do you always lack imagination?

Yes I suppose I never imagined anyone would do THAT.

Hardly necessary for perfume production. Esp since nobody sane would spray perfume into their own eyes.

What’s the source please?

Liz Earle and Floral Street (John Lewis).

Eden perfume

@Mrcpy do you need to be given a source? Testing cosmetics on animals has been going on for YEARS. Surely you know that?

I’m asking about what part of perfume production involves animal cruelty.

I don’t believe that it’s dropped into their eyes.

@Mrcpy I will assume the best in that you are just naive so here is more information - www.crueltyfreekitty.com/bath-body/cruelty-free-perfume/

There is also the issue that many pefumes use animal derived ingredients, which I prefer not to use in anything in my home, where possible.

So it is always important to check as cruelty free (i.e. not tested on animals) does not mean something is also vegan. And vice versa (vegan products may be tested on animals), although I question the morality of that, I wouldn’t put it past some of the larger brands. So I always check for both.

Thanks. I literally said it’s a genuine question and I want to be educated.

That website is helpful. Where can I find more details? I want to know that the “cruelty-free” label isn’t a form of green-washing (bearing in mind everything impacts the environment and destroys habitats, including packaging and distribution of vegan products). Also I’m absolutely fine with an animal being sprayed with Chanel no 5 (not in the eyes of course) or creams being tested on animals kept in comfortable conditions. I also would like to know why some countries legally require animal testing, and why we don’t, and what are the alternative ways of making sure products are safe for humans.

I’m not a troll and not naive. I’m asking because these questions are important to me and I haven’t found anything online that provides enough detail.

And just to clarify “comfortable conditions” would be conditions that we’d be happy to keep a pet in - food, space, stimulation, and to be put down humanely at the end of life.

I use beauty pie. Not a huge choice, but cruelty free.

I've got Mood Vibes from Boots cruelty free. There are three other ones. Only a few pounds.
It annoys me that most of the big brands aren't cruelty free as my dc have their favourites and I would like to buy them for Christmas presents.

Any cosmetic product sold in China must be tested on animals. M&S, L'Occitane and no doubt many others sell their cosmetics in China.

I’m sorry I was bitchy @Mrcpy, dh is very ill on palliative care and I’m intolerant of everyone at the moment.
