Perfumes and fragrance products often use chemicals derived from just about everything, including animals. For those who prefer perfumes made with no animal ingredients, vegan fragrances are for you.

Vegan products are items not made with animal-derived ingredients, but this does not mean they are cruelty-free. Read here to learn more about the differences between cruelty-free and vegan beauty.

If you're working toward a more vegan and animal-friendly beauty collection, we're happy to introduce you to some vegan perfumes. 

The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods Eau de Parfum

This is a super viral perfume that has been everywhere in the past couple of years. The 7 Virtues' Vanilla Woods is a warm and gourmand scent. This fragrance is both vegan and cruelty-free.

Vanilla Woods Eau de Parfum contains 22% fragrance oils, whereas a regular one has 10% to 15%. So, it's powerful in the best way. We love this smoky and sweet vanilla scent. It has notes of vanilla, caramel, amber,  pear, and rose. This is also a super long-lasting scent.

Ellis Brooklyn Salt Eau de Parfum

Another well-loved scent, Salt, was created to invoke the feeling of summer and salty skin on the beach. The perfume is described as sensual and complex, with notes of florals and salts. One of the reasons we love this product is that it was made in small batches in New York City and uses environmentally friendly packaging. This scent has top notes of violet and ylang-ylang. The heart notes use jasmine, magnolia, and Tahitian tiare. In the dry down, you'll find the warming scents of sandalwood, amber, and musk. 

Snif Sweet Ash Eau de Toilette

This scent is also both vegan and cruelty-free, like many on this list. When you smell this scent, it falls into the family of woody and aromatic. We love this scent because it is sweet, smoky, and earthy. We love the notes of juniper and bergamot you'll find in it. You will also find notes of vanilla, tonka, white moss, and cashmere woods. If you're looking to smell like a cozy forest, this is the scent for that. 

Glossier You

Chances are, you've probably come across someone on your FYP talking about how incredible this vegan and cruelty-free scent is. This perfume is a personal skin-scent enhancer, which makes it work with your body chemistry to create a smell uniquely you. It has top notes of florals paired with peppercorns, and as you get closer to the heart notes, you'll find a slight sweetness but nothing too gourmand. It will leave you smelling soft and familiar.
