Difficulty finding quality perfumes without any phthalates

[Melaphant]

Ever since I was pregnant and found out the chaos that fragrance that contains phthalates causes to our hormones, I've been scent free. I love perfumes and I love smelling good, but all the research shows how harmful these fragrances are especially to pregnant women. Studies show that it's one of the reasons boys are born with lower levels of testosterone and there are more fertility issues among men. I've tried a few different "clean" perfumes made of natural fragrance but I've found that they either 1. smell like straight up alcohol or 2. the smell is faint and doesn't last. Anyone know any high quality clean perfumes? Also, did anyone else know about this issue with synthetic fragrance?? I feel so lied to and now I understand why most perfumes don't come with an ingredient list...

@Melaphant Look into Henry Rose. I have several of their perfumes and find they have decent staying power for a clean perfume.

@Melaphant The unfortunate reality is perfumes that don't use synthetics tend to have very poor performance. Agreed, the ingredients lists always end with "fragrance" which is frustrating. Phlur used to list every single aromachemical but since the house changed hands, I'm not sure it does that anymore.

I think Eccentric Molecules makes scents that are just one aromachemical, so it's quite overpriced for what it is, but there's an option.

I think your best bet is contacting a company directly and inquiring about phthalates.

My favourite "natural" house is probably Hiram Green but I don't think they list everything. The performance is decent for a "natural" house. That's in scare quotes because I honestly don't know what goes into their perfumes. LUSH is another one where the performance is decent but again, no complete ingredients list.
