Let's Talk: Non-toxic Fragrances (+ why they matter)

Ever picked up a perfume, taken a whiff, and immediately gotten a headache? You’re not alone. The world of fragrance can be a minefield—full of synthetic chemicals, undisclosed ingredients, and allergens that don’t belong anywhere near your skin (or lungs).

Many of the fragrances we’ve grown up loving are filled with not-so-lovely stuff like phthalates, parabens, and synthetic dyes. These ingredients aren’t just irritating—they can mess with your hormones, trigger sensitivities, and contribute to indoor air pollution. Not exactly the “signature scent” you were going for, right?

But here’s the good news: clean, non-toxic fragrances do exist—and they actually smell better because they’re made with care, intention, and ingredients your body can recognize.

At Jaffi’s, we’ve been intentional about curating fragrance brands that not only smell amazing but are safe to wear and enjoy in your home. Here are a few of our current favorites:

Summer Hours

Founded in 2021 by creative director Beth Maloney, Summer Hours was born out of a desire to bottle up the essence of summer—and do it safely. The brand’s four signature scents are crafted using clean, vegan, cruelty-free, and sustainable ingredients. They’re globally sourced, then compounded and bottled in the USA. No harsh chemicals. Just fruits, flowers, vines, and woods at their peak.

Editor’s note: Summer Hours has been featured in Vogue, Goop, and beyond. And yes, it’s that good.

Essential Faith

Simple. Sheer. Sexy. This cult-favorite oil-based fragrance is hand-bottled in small batches in California. It’s made with just a single, all-natural ingredient and adapts to your body’s chemistry, making it completely unique on every person. No alcohol, no fillers—just a timeless scent that’s as effortless as it is intoxicating.

Tyler Candle Co.

Yes, candles count too—and this brand goes way beyond just candles. Tyler Candle Co. is known for their room-filling scents that are anything but artificial. Their soy-paraffin wax blend creates the ultimate burn experience, but they also offer room sprays, car air fresheners, and even glamorous wash detergent (trust us—your laundry will never smell better). Every product is made with high-quality fragrance oils and hand-poured or blended with care to give your space that luxe aroma without the junk.

Why It Matters

Your skin is your body’s largest organ—and your home is your sanctuary. What you put on your skin (and breathe in daily) matters. Non-toxic fragrances allow you to indulge in the ritual of scent without compromising your health or your vibe. And no, clean fragrance doesn’t mean boring. It means better.

We love helping you discover scents that feel personal, thoughtful, and safe. Whether you’re spritzing your pulse points, lighting a candle, or freshening up your car—make it something you feel good about.

Come smell for yourself.
