Thierry Mugler Angel a drug?, part 2

Posted by Robin on 19 November 2007 9 Comments

For anyone interested in another angle on the NTEF vs Clarins story, see More on NTEF and Angel Perfume at thearomaconnection blog.

The article was written by Tony Burfield of Cropwatch, and contains a link to an older article of his that might be of interest to those of us who ponder the health risks associated with synthetic fragrances: Chemophobia.

    Maybe it would make sense to only choose perfumes from perfume houses that have their own Nose and that have no link with a big multinational?

    It is all so much information, it's almost suffocating.

    In the end the responsabilities are in the hands of the companies and of course no customer wants to buy a health risk in a bottle!

    I don't know what difference it would make to only buy from houses that have their own perfumers. There is no reason to think the materials used would be any safer, and further, just because they have their own nose, doesn't mean that one of the big Fragrance & Flavor companies isn't producing the juice.

    That is true too.

    I just don't know what to do with all this information.

    A spritz is just such a small amount and part of it goes in the air instead of touching the skin. Maybe we breathe it in maybe not?

    What is the alternative?

    I can't escape the fumes of city life and these are much more concentrated and probably equally as dangerous.

    Perfumes have been created for thousands of years and I don't want to give up these pleasures. Pleasures and dangers often go hand-in-hand.

    Did you read the article “Chemophobia” linked to above? Might set your mind at ease, at least a little.

    Read it and will put it aside me. Quickly went to Marionnaud and tried some Burburry Brit for women. (By the way, the basenotes of Karma were rather nice).

    Actually it was Burberry Brit Gold, tried the wrong one, anyway.

    I think it's all a bit of a tempest in a teapot for us recreational fragrance users. We're simply not exposed to significant amounts of chemicals with a spritz here and there through the day, regardless of the fume we're using. It's sad, really. What next? Ban the evil chocolate cupcake?

    Certainly all a tempest in a teapot for me! Love the term “recreational fragrance users” 🙂

    Although I'm closer to an outright addict, I'm afraid to say!
