Versatile, gourmand fragrances with transparent formulas

Its formulas are short, 47 ingredients at most, and published in full. The roll-ons are alcohol-free, with a plant-oil base of almond and wheat germ; the 30 ml sprays are made with organic wheat alcohol. All formulas are vegan and free from BHT and BHA, colourants, UV filters, phthalates and CMR substances.
