Hypoallergenic Perfumes & Fragrances
Hypoallergenic perfumes and fragrances are designed for people who want to enjoy scent while minimising the risk of irritation or sensitivity. These fragrances prioritise gentle formulations, reduced allergen exposure, and softer scent profiles that sit closer to the skin.
They’re a popular choice for sensitive skin, fragrance-sensitive individuals, and anyone seeking a more comfortable, everyday scent experience.
What Are Hypoallergenic Perfumes & Fragrances?
Hypoallergenic fragrances are perfumes created with a focus on minimising common fragrance irritants. This often involves careful ingredient selection, reduced allergen content, and avoidance of harsh or overpowering aroma compounds.
Many hypoallergenic scents are available in balanced concentrations such as Eau de Parfum, offering gentle longevity without aggressive projection.
Benefits and Features of Hypoallergenic Perfumes & Fragrances
Gentler on sensitive skin: Formulated to reduce the likelihood of irritation.
Subtle scent presence: Designed to feel soft, clean, and unobtrusive.
Everyday comfort: Suitable for regular wear in work and shared environments.
Minimalist appeal: Often favoured by those who prefer simplicity over intensity.
Why Are Hypoallergenic Perfumes Important?

They’re often chosen alongside minimalist options such as Fragrance-Free Products when building a low-irritation routine.
