The time has come to update your perfume collection and make the change to safe perfume. Some synthetic ingredients are known carcinogens and can kill your reproductive system. You owe it to your body and your health to use products that are safe and even beneficial to your health. The great part is that there are predominantly natural, safe perfumes that would rival any synthetic perfume.
If you have visited our site before, you know The Safe Perfumery advertises perfumes focusing on natural formulas with minimal use of known safe synthetics. We do not advertise perfumes with questionable ingredients. Sadly, what many are willing to call a ‘natural’ perfume stretches the friendship with this term. We have seen many advertised ‘natural’ perfumes with way more synthetic ingredients than natural ones. This doesn’t sound ‘natural’.
Don’t fall into the trap. This article contains our top-reviewed, highest quality, genuine, safe unisex perfumes perfect for men or women. We will always specify if they are a 100% natural formula or whether they use minimal safe synthetics so that you can make an informed choice.

#1 Blonde by Dedcool
Price Guide: $$$$$
Fragrance Family: Leather
Notes: Juniper berries, pomelo, saffron, accord cuir, black violet, crystal rose, blonde woods, raspberry and vetiver
Vegan, natural ingredients plus safe synthetics.
A perfume that will feel like it was crafted especially for you. Blonde is fresh, cozy, leathery, deep and sweet. Long-lasting formula that projects without being overwhelming.
Dedcool say that Blonde is:
“Dewy and spicy. What if you could bring time to a stop? Smells like narcotic leather and blooming black petals. Feels like silencing the noise.”
The reviews speak for themselves:
“I just love it. It’s smoky, it’s woody, it’s sweet.”
“My favorite fragrance of all time!!! its such a lasting scent and smells so good, its the perfect fall/winter staple.”
“Smells amazing! Great for fall. Can smell on my clothes for days and lasts all day on my skin.”
“This is the most unique perfume I own and a top 5 favorite. It’s slightly sweet, slightly fruity, a spicy cold floral that isn’t unapproachable due to the coziness the leather adds. It’s also woody and fresh. No one else will smell like you and everyone will be asking what you’re wearing.”
We definitely think Blonde is a safe perfume you should consider for your rotation. At such an affordable price it would be a great choice if you are looking for something new.

#3 Dirty Hinoki by Heretic
Price Guide: $$$$$
Fragrance Family: Citrus
Top Notes: Lemon, Cedar, Nutmeg, Thyme, Pine
Mid Notes: Hinoki, Cypress
Base Notes: Elemi, Wormwood, Fir Absolute, Ambrettolide, Balsam, Frankincense
Vegan, cruelty-free, natural ingredients plus safe synthetics.
Dirty Hinoki takes you on an exhilarating sensory journey.
Imagine trekking through the wild hinoki forests on the Japanese Island of Yakushima. Deep in the forest, you find your own nature shower and relax among the trees as you take in all the scents of nature. This journey is the inspiration for Dirty Hinoki.
Earthy notes swirl through your nose, and much like bathing in the forest, Dirty Hinoki is designed to give you a multi-sensory experience that will clear your mind and allow you to appreciate the beauty of the world around you.
Dirty Hinoki will take you on a unique journey, providing the perfect escape. What is even better is the non-toxic, all-natural ingredients with carefully selected, safe synthetics.
We will leave you with this review to decide whether you should make this your next safe perfume choice.
“Dirty Hinoki has all my favourite wood tones, plus a hit of citrus, herbs, and Hinoki cypress (which I'm now obsessed with) - already blended to perfection. I can wear this fragrance any day, anywhere, and invariably someone mentions how "clean" I smell...but that it's low-key sexy too. This parfum is now part of my permanent collection because it contains a balance of the fragrance notes I already love to wear, plus an unexpected hint of Hinoki - which makes it even better!”
#4 Santal Vanille by The 7 Virtues
Price Guide: $$$$$
Fragrance Family: Woody
Top Notes: Coconut Milk, Cardamom, Violet, Myrrh Absolute
Mid Notes: Olibanum, Cedarwood, Vanilla
Base Notes: Kashmir fushion, Cocoa Absolute, Sandalwood
Vegan, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, natural ingredients plus safe synthetics.
Santal Vanille will bring to mind a cashmere sweater, doused with creamy coconut, vanilla, and infused with myrrh. After all this, the woody base notes of sandalwood leave a lingering impression.
The sandalwood used in this perfume is sustainably sourced from Sri Lanka and provides environmental education for women in Sri Lanka.
We think Santal Vanille is great for mentally refocusing, letting go of tension and finding peace. The 7 Virtues are committed to the mantra of “Make Perfume Not War”, and these words are moulded in the cap of the perfume bottle. The perfumes are made with sustainably sourced oils, and you can read on the bottle where the fragrance oils come from and the aromatherapy healing benefits of each.
“Boy, oh boy, it is heavenly!”
“Omg, if I could bathe in this I would. Sandalwood-y, warm, cardamom-y, vanilla-y, super long lasting and real smelling. Spicy, sensual, but not overpowering. Divine.”
Santal Vanille has been described as similar to Santal 33 by Le Labo, except maybe even better! If musky sandalwood is your jam, this might be your new favourite safe perfume.
#5 Dirty Coconut by Heretic
Price Guide: $$$$$
Fragrance Family: Woody Amber
Top Notes: Cedar, Vanillin (derived from clove)
Mid Note: Coconut CO2
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Vanilla Absolute, Ambrettolid
Cruelty-Free, Plant-based, Natural ingredients plus safe-synthetics.
Dirty Coconut is the seductive and relaxing scent you need for summer! (Or any time of year really). Based around the creamy scent of coconut, this sensual masterpiece combines coconut with sandalwood, exotic woods, and dreamy vanilla. The end result; a seductive, milky fragrance that is robust and rejuvenating. Dirty Coconut is also packed with natural aphrodisiacs and stress relieving ingredients to bring you the most peaceful escape.
This fragrance was inspired by the rare coco de mer palm tree and its beautiful round fruit. The fruit was first given the name Lodoicea Callipyge by early explorers. This name literally means “beautiful buttocks” in Greek. Each fruit weighs 25kg and is the largest seed in the plant kingdom. This rare fruit has powerful healing properties that have been coveted by nobility throughout history.
Dirty Coconut is quickly becoming a favourite with 4.3 stars from over 1000 reviewers!
Here is what a few of those reviewers have to say about this scent:
“The combination is like nothing I’ve ever smelled…I thought this was going to be another one of those super summery, bright coconut perfumes, but it’s truly the complete opposite. It has a super dark, mysteriously gorgeous dirty coconut scent, kind of giving me a billionaires ballgown private resort party vibe, with no hint of any slightly childish coconut scents. I’m addicted and you’ll definitely be catching me buying a full size of this and making it my signature fragrance this fall.”
“Love love love. This is beyond sexy. Wear it anytime and anywhere - this is such a unique coconut scent...it packs enough punch that it gets you from the beach to a night out in the city.”
Heretic never fail to produce a clean perfume that captivates the wearer. Dirty Coconut will be your perfect new safe, natural perfume to add in to your collection.
