the company cbihateperfume.com is all vegan. Joshua wrote a post about him last year some time. At least all of their finished products are. Meaning that they do not contain any animal products, his squalene is plant derived. The raw materials used may have been animal tested at one time, but FDA rules being what they are- it’s difficult or impossible to find something that has not ever been animal tested. Almost everything has an LD50(look it up if unfamiliar).

I have his wild hunt fragrance. Smells really good. To me at least. Like a forest in spring.

Interestingly enough, the majority of fragrances are vegan- in the sense that they do not contain any animal products. The raw materials used follow the same guidelines described above.

Most fragrances made today are composed from synthetic sources or plant derived products. Animal ingredients are often prohibitively expensive. Take ambergris(whale vomit) it has been known to be more expensive than gold pound for pound.

So then, if all ingredients are the same, what factors go into buying? I believe this is where you have to look at where your money is going and who you are supporting.

Why not support an independent, thoughtful, and brilliantly creative individual? Instead of a mall. You don’t want to smell like some dude who pops the collar of his polo shirt right? Then don’t go to the mall.

I hope this helps.
