Welcome to our first sustainability spotlight, our new series which will go into how each of our Reserve and Avant Garden fragrances are sustainable - ingredients, packaging, and all. Our promise? We never craft any fragrances with any ingredients that may potentially be linked to health or environmental issues (see our No-to list).
Our definition of sustainable:
- Responsibly sourcing our ingredients so that we’re not depleting the planet’s natural resources.
- Giving back to the farmers and their communities.
- Being eco-conscious in everything we do, through our recyclable packaging and green manufacturing.
