Imagine Gorgeous Scents without the Synthetics

Imagine being able to wear fragrances without the unfortunate side effects that often go along with them.

That's what I did. Because I was tired of perfumes that made me headachy, or itchy, or sneezy (or worse).

And I was tired of the samey-same fragrances that I smelled everywhere hijacking my nose with their flat, fake-smelling scents.

And I didn't want to be part of the problem, the way products that contain synthetics and petrochemicals are.

I wanted to be healthier than that. And more original than that. And more mindful than that.

So I started making my own perfumes. Rich, modern perfumes created exclusively with the world's finest botanical essences.

I call it aromatic luxury without compromise.

Each CUSANI fragrance is hand-blended in small batches with one-hundred percent green ingredients and no synthetic anything. There are no unpronounceable ingredients in sight.

Everything that goes into my perfumes — every sublimely aromatic natural essence — is meant to make your world less toxic, not more.

I’m totally driven by the desire to bring you both beauty and well-being through scent — not to compromise your health with the thousands of unhealthful (and often untested) synthetic fragrance molecules, aroma chemicals and “safe synthetics” that are used by the conventional perfume industry to maximize their profits.

At CUSANI, no corners are cut and no expense is spared in creating our pure, synthetic-free botanical perfumes.

Ironically, as a person with allergic sensitivities, the last thing I ever thought I would turn out to be was a perfumer. Because for as long as I could remember, I had avoided perfumes and all other scented products like the proverbial plague. I couldn’t even use scented soap or light a scented candle without negative health consequences.

Back then, it seemed the beauty and joy of fragrance — inviting, evocative, sensuous — was not meant for me. Or so I thought.

But that was before I learned about the crucial differences between natural and synthetic fragrances. Once I understood that my inability to tolerate scented products was entirely due to their fake scent ingredients, a whole new world opened up to me.

Wanting to immerse myself in the benefits of healthy and beautifully fragrant plant essences, I studied aromatherapy, and then developed an aromatherapy-based organic body care line. Eventually I took an even deeper dive into the essences and began creating fine fragrances using only botanical ingredients.

And finally, I was able to wear and enjoy perfumes — pure, plant-based perfumes that created no health problems for me.

Using my perfumer's palette of over three hundred natural essences from renewable plant sources (many of them rare and precious ingredients), I bring you truly luxurious fragrances that are totally free of synthetics and petrochemicals.

So if you love to wear fragrance but are concerned about being bombarded with toxic ingredients, or you care about the environment, or you simply prefer the luxury of the real thing — our perfumes are just what you’ve been looking for. — Claudia
