Floral Street Vegan Eu De Parfum
Clean perfumes and a business that is sustainable every step of the way was the vision Floral Street founder Michelle Feeney had in mind when she first started her brand. And her collection of perfumes and other scents have stayed true to her original vision ever since.
Environmental Impact: Every brand begins with raw resources and Floral Street ensures that the flowers, plants and other ingredients that they source from suppliers and growers are sustainably and ethically sourced.

When it comes to packaging all paper used is FSC certified including the pulp cartons which are also compostable.

Sana Jardin Sandalwood Temple Eau De Parfum
Scent with intent or a perfume with a soulful purpose; Sana Jardin offers a perfect mix of the chic, captivating scents that also focus on sustainability.
Our aim is to give fragrance lovers the opportunity to be conscious consumers.
Environmental Impact: Sana Jardin is a brand that believes in solving environmental and social problems from the ground up. When female harvesters from a rural flower growing region in Morocco were facing economic problems, Sana Jardin collaborated with them to create a cooperative to train women to harvest and upcycle the flowers for zero waste products like flower water and candles. This is one of the many ways that the brand contributes to the greater good.
Ellis Brooklyn Bee De Parfum
Ellis Brooklyn crafts clean perfumes that are focused on using the finest ingredients that are good for the planet.
We believe that global standards… are the ideal starting point for clean beauty…. the U.S. barely regulates beauty products–only about 30 ingredients are banned. Instead, our starting baseline is the European Union rules, which bans more than 1300 ingredients.
Environmental Impact: The perfumes are phthalate-free, paraben-free and PETA-certified vegan and cruelty-free. Each ingredient, whether its synthetic or natural is carefully chosen, not only for its scent but also its impact on the environment and the wearer’s health. All scents are packaged in glass bottles than can be recycled and the brand focuses on being carbon-neutral whenever possible through carbon-offseting programs.
