“Clean” is used differently across the fragrance industry. At ao, we prefer to describe our compositions through the materials they contain and the care taken in their formulation.
We work with botanicals and aroma molecules, considering their character, purpose and suitability within each composition. Natural origin alone does not make an ingredient suitable for every skin.
Our fragrances are formulated without parabens, phthalates, sulfates, formaldehyde, mineral oil or animal-derived materials.
Yes. Our fragrances contain no animal-derived ingredients or derivatives and are not tested on animals.
Each composition has its own rhythm. Some materials make an immediate impression; others emerge gradually and remain close to the skin.
Our Eaux de Parfums on average may last from 4h to 8h. However, longevity varies with the formula, application, skin and environment. Allow time to observe how a fragrance develops on you.
