Time here is moss-grown and damp. Abundant waterfalls create wide moving waves of mist. Fog sits on its silent haunches while treetops of bigleaf maples, Douglas fir, and western hemlock commune in vaporous gestures.

Finding a vegan, ethical fragrance can be tricky. Popular designer perfumes are often not considered cruelty-free. On top of that, some fragrances on the market also contain non-vegan ingredients, like beeswax. But all is not lost. Plenty of conscious, cruelty-free brands prove it is possible to make deliciously scented, guilt-free fragrances. Here are some of our favorites.

This joint is jumpin, the piano’s thumpin’ and this here spot is more than hot. It’s a summer night in Chicago, round about 1922. The heat steams, rising from the asphalt like an entourage of frisky ghosts. Sweat beads like tiny diamonds on flapper foreheads as they dance a furious Charleston in one of the Andersonville dance halls. But down the street, tucked into the back of an alley where the men light their cigarillos in the shadows and their women purse their lips in bee-stung pouts, there’s a speakeasy where a ballad is being hammered out on an old, yellowed piano.

Whitney Swales of Wit & West Perfumes
Profile: From as early as I can remember I have had a passion for scent and the world of perfume. Growing up, perfume and everything scented including body oils and perfumed body powders, soaps and candles were a staple in my life. My mom wore Chanel No. 5, Youth Dew and Private Collection by Estee Lauder and my dad wore Polo by Ralph Lauren and Lagerfeld by Karl Lagerfeld.

Be sure to check out the intriguing Rosé L.A. eau de parfum by Wit & West Perfumes. “A rousing fruity scent that demands attention. Rose otto adds fresh drama and character while amber and sandalwood smooth out the experience with a honey-like butteriness. Reminiscent of a weekend in West Hollywood spent soaking up the sun in a rooftop pool with a glass of bubbly. A scent that doesn’t take itself too seriously, a fun and sparkly chic scent that can only be described as Rosé L.A.”
