Natural perfume is fragrance made entirely from plant-derived ingredients such as essential oils, absolutes and resins. VAHY perfumes are 100% natural, created with world-leading perfumers using premium naturals, with ingredients sourced sustainably, like our Australian Sandalwood. Our spritz perfumes use a base of organic raw sugar-cane ethanol. Every scent is vegan, cruelty-free and genderless, and made in Melbourne, Australia.
Is VAHY perfume non-toxic?
Yes. VAHY perfumes are free from phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde, petroleum-derived ingredients and denatured alcohol, as well as the more than 1,400 chemicals banned or restricted in personal care products in the European Union. Our full Free From Promise is published on our site, so you always know exactly what you're wearing.
Is VAHY perfume long lasting?
VAHY is made without synthetic fillers or solvents, so our scents behave the way natural ingredients do. They stay close to the skin rather than filling the room, and evolve beautifully through the day. Each fragrance is designed to sit naturally on the skin for long wearing, while still being 100% biodegradable vs bioaccumulating. To anchor your scent further, apply to moisturised pulse points or layer over an R-OIL roll-on.
What does "fragrance" or "parfum" mean on a perfume label?
On most labels, "fragrance" or "parfum" is a single word that can stand for a blend of many ingredients that aren't individually listed. At VAHY we believe you should know what you're wearing, so every perfume is 100% natural and made to our published Free From Promise.
Is VAHY an Australian perfume brand?
Yes. VAHY is a natural fine fragrance house founded in Melbourne, Australia. Our perfumes are made in Australia with world-leading perfumers, and Ember Haze won Gold at the 2023 Global Green Beauty Awards. VAHY means "balance" in Czech, which guides every scent we make.
Can I wear natural perfume with a natural deodorant?
Yes. Many people who switch to an aluminium-free natural deodorant also look for a perfume made to the same standard. For the cleanest result, pair VAHY with an unscented natural deodorant and apply perfume to your pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) so the two scents don't compete.
