With the modern woman of today being more aware of the environment and the ingredients in her cosmetics collection, it is no surprise that many people are now turning to organic perfume as another beauty option. There are quite a few companies that make all-natural and organic fragrances that smell amazing but do not contain chemicals that cause many headaches and allergies. Some people may have trouble distinguishing between botanical perfume, organic perfume and natural perfume. Basically, a botanical perfume is vegan and all natural (it contains no animal products). Natural perfume is made from all-natural ingredients as opposed to synthesized ones, while organic perfume does not contain petrochemicals, synthetic perfumes and is free of dyes, coloring agents and animal by-products.

LaVanila is the best natural perfume. You don't have to worry about chemical burns if you have allergies and you will come away smelling divine.

This is a great article because it explains the differences between natural, botanical and organic perfumes. However I wish it linked to more earth-friendly perfumes.
