Cruelty-Free Scents You'll Love
We’d say that cruelty-free fragrances are pretty hard to come by, aren’t they? While there are a surplus of cruelty-free skincare, haircare, & makeup companies, fragrance companies have been slow to catch on. That’s why we’re here to help make your perfume shopping trip a lot easier. Follow this guide and discover our top 10 cruelty-free & vegan perfumes that we can’t stop wearing this season.

Ellis Brooklyn
FAWN
We are starting off this article with one our all-time favorite lines of cruelty-free perfumes: Ellis Brooklyn. This company creates the most exquisite cruelty-free fragrances. Their FAWN perfume is our ultimate on-the-go scent when we’re feeling light and florally. Our tiebreaker scent? The Ellis Brooklyn scent in MYTH.
Molton Brown
Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel




The 7 Virtues
Blackberry Lily Perfume
Another favorite that we are loving for the Fall season is The 7 Virtues perfume in Blackberry Lily. This fragrance has a warm & spicy scent with a dash of fruity goodness. Oh, and this company is also 100% vegan, too.
Glossier
Glossier You
Glossier only has 1 scent so far, but it’s a killer. The Glossier You perfume is not only cruelty-free, but it’s 100% vegan, too. This perfume contains creamy base notes of (vegan) musk with a hint of spice. This scent is long-lasting & will wear evenly all day long.




Clean Beauty
Reserve - Radiant Nectar
- Family: Florals
- Scent Type: Fresh Florals
- Key Notes: Ambrette Seeds, Pear Nectar, Vegan Musk



Clean Beauty is another one of our favorite cruelty-free perfume brands. Clean Beauty is also 100% vegan, too. Their new Radiant Nectar perfume is the perfect transitional scent from Summer to Autumn. Our tiebreaker scent? Flower Fresh.
DefineMe
Disney Ariel Princess Perfume
As you can see, we tend to gravitate toward warmer scents. However, we love this 100% vegan, Ariel inspired perfume from DefineMe. Formulated with Citrus, Jasmine, Coconut & Driftwood, you’re sure to feel like a real Disney Princess.




Pinrose
Gilded Fox
What can we say – we love warm scents, especially for Fall. There’s nothing better than when your perfume makes you feel like you’re wrapped up in a soft blanket, and so the Pinrose perfume in Gilded Fox makes our list of favorites. Notes of Vetiver, Cocoa, & Rum are all we need to feel happy and cozy. Pinrose is also 100% vegan.
PHLUR
Olmsted & Vaux
We’ve made it clear that warm scents are our jam. That doesn’t mean we don’t like to mix it up with fresh, leafy aromas. PHLUR’s Olmsted & Vaux contains Bergamot, Shiso Leaf, & Maté Tea. It’s light and airy with a touch of sweetness. Phlur is 100% vegan.




Pacifica
Natural Origins: Kindred Spirit
Pacifica is a long-time favorite on Mind Over Mango, as they are cruelty-free and 100% vegan. Their Kindred Spirit fragrance is formulated with Crushed Rose Dust, Myrrh, Piney, & Lemony Palo Santo. It’s slightly floral and slightly sweet – the perfect balance.
Juliette Has a Gun
Vanilla Vibes
- Family: Fresh
- Scent Type: Fresh Florals
- Key Notes: Sea Salt, Natural Vanilla, Sandalwood



No matter what you can’t go wrong with a simple but yummy vanilla fragrance. The Vanilla Vibes by Juliette Has a Gun is easy to reach for when we can’t decide our scent of the day. Even more, notes of Sea Salt & Sandalwood give us the ultimate beach vibes.


Feel Good About Cruelty-Free Perfumes
While cruelty-free perfumes are certainly more difficult to find, there are a ton of amazing options on the market. It’s easy to succumb to delicious scents from big, non-cruelty-free brands. However, it’s important to keep in mind that animals often undergo torturous chemical testing just so you can smell nice for a few hours. Make good choices by following this cruelty-free perfume guide. If you’re ever unsure as to whether or not a company is truly cruelty-free (and vegan), make sure to stop by our Cruelty-Free Company Directory to find all of the answers you need.
