12 CLEAN FRAGRANCES THAT ARE PERFECT FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON

The most anticipated time of the year is now closer than ever. It can’t be helped, we all love the holiday season. You might have started getting decorating materials, buying gifts for your loved ones, sending invitations out, looking up recipes, and just getting all the necessary shopping done. You want preparations to start early so everything will be perfect and absolutely nothing will be left out.

If you are thinking, “I don’t have enough time to figure out the perfect scent and where do I even start?”, keep on reading. In this article, I have compiled a list of 12 fragrances that are perfect for the holiday season. Whether you like musky, floral, or light fragrances, I’ve got you covered as I have recommendations for all three categories.

Why Clean Fragrance? 

Before I get into the recommendations, let’s touch on why it’s crucial to opt for CLEAN fragrances, rather than mainstream ones, formulated with harmful chemicals. Although the term 'clean' is not regulated, nor clearly defined by any entity, we look at it through the lens of 'less toxicity' than mainstream fragrances. Any product is bound rot have toxic chemicals, but some are better than others. 

Did you know that brands are able to hide hundreds of harmful chemicals under the words “fragrance” or “perfume”? Many of the ingredients included in these products have the ability to disrupt hormones and cause allergic reactions, eye irritation, contact dermatitis, some have been linked to cancer! Read this article and this one for more explanation on mainstream fragrances and how they contain harmful chemicals. 

Considering the risks involved with using many of these fragrances, it’s prudent to consider cleaner fragrances. Clean fragrances (or products) avoid the use of many harmful chemicals typically used in standard formulas, hence have the potential for less side effects.
