Our Fragrance Philosophy
At CYKLAR, we believe in creating high-quality, evocative fragrances utilizing safe synthetics and natural, botanical ingredients.
We love botanical ingredients for the character they lend to our fragrances, however natural doesn’t always equal safer. In some cases, synthetic ingredients can be less allergenic than certain natural ingredients.
Harvesting natural ingredients for fine fragrance can require tons of botanicals for a very small amount of material. Many natural ingredients are at risk of becoming over harvested and endangered. We partner with the world’s leading fragrance suppliers to ensure we are utilizing sustainable natural materials and we are being respectful of the environment.
With all this considered, we may choose to use nature-identical synthetics because it’s a more sustainable or thoughtful choice while offering broader fragrance possibilities to our perfumers to develop true fine fragrance creations. We follow current IFRA guidelines.
