So I don't know about many of you but I am super into healthy / organic / natural products but I don't want to have to sacrifice being the girly-girl that I am! I still like to smell like a flower on a day to day basis so I am naturally drawn to things that smell good!

One of my favorite places to buy natural perfumes is Little Batch Botanicals. They have a website www.littlebatchbotanicals.com OR you can order from their shop on Etsy.

They are roller-ball fragrances that cost $10 for .33 FL OZ or (10 ML) of product. The Ingredients include: Triglycerides of Caprylic/Capric Acid (Coconut Oil), Fragrance. 2 INGREDIENTS! Coconut Oil & Fragrance.

For those who are allergic, have sensitivities or prefer to use products without fragrance then this isn't for you!

This seller offers a super wide variety of scents and the scents wear close to you. They will be lovely for those and those around you but no one will smell you as you walk into a room! The scents are beautiful and light and I own a few of these. There are a couple other places to get natural perfumes, this is just one I'm loving at the moment.

Some other places to get some awesome natural perfumes:
- Flourish Bath & Body (Etsy seller!) (Basically the same thing, roller-balls around $10 with only 2 ingredients!)
- Pacifica (A more main-stream brand, offers bottles, roller-balls & solid perfumes! Ranging from $9 - $45). Also offers body lotions / body butters, etc. The ingredients on this brand might be a little more sketchy - just do your research! I have one item from them coming in the mail as I type this! So I'll let you know how I like it & any information I have on ingredients & safety.

If anybody else has some information on natural fragrances / perfumes. Or the health / safety / toxicity information on perfumes or perfume ingredients, please feel free to share! 3nodding

Using an essential oil like Indian Neroli, Jasmine, pure Rose, etc would make excellent personal fragrances.

Here is a link to some essential oil fragrance recipes. Very simple to make and use.
