Introducing the new natural, plant-based perfume range
Narrative Lab is thrilled to announce it has launched a new parfum oil range using natural, plant-based oils with refills to reduce waste.
Ever wondered why you sneeze or get headaches from a fragrance? According to Narrative Lab, this is usually the body reacting to the toxins and heavy chemicals in the perfume.
The scented ingredients in perfume are infused into these alcohols as a way of preserving and stabilising the product's desired scent. That musk-like fragrance in perfume may be something else entirely, concocted from any number of the fragrance industry’s 3,100 stock chemical ingredients; the blend of which is often kept hidden from consumers.
Staying away from nasty fillers and alcohol, the new Narrative Lab parfum oil range contains a nourishing blend of plant-based oils, including jojoba, grapeseed and safflower oils. It is also vegan and nut oil free.
Narrative Lab launched in 2019 with a range of innovative solid fragrances for men and women that are customisable. Each comes in a metal vessel that swivels open to reveal a palette of solid wax containing three versions of the same base fragrance, and can be refilled utilising the clever magnet system.
