Please note, our perfumes are inspired by designer scents and are not affiliated with or replicas of the original brands. Our perfume list references the original names purely as a guide, helping you find your starting point on your scent journey with us.

Due to individual skin chemistry and the natural dry-down process, fragrances may vary slightly from person to person, making your experience truly unique.

At Scented Affair Fragrances, your skin’s safety is our top priority. Every perfume we handcraft is made using high-quality, cosmetic-grade ingredients that meet international fragrance safety practices.

What’s Inside Our Perfumes

We keep our ingredient list simple, transparent, and skin-friendly:

1. Cosmetic-Grade Ethanol (Perfumer’s Alcohol)

We use high-purity cosmetic ethanol that is safe for direct skin application.

No methanol. No industrial solvents. No harmful additives.

2. Fine Fragrance Oils (Extrait Quality)

Our perfumes are formulated with 30%+ fragrance oil concentration for rich, long-lasting scent.

We source our fragrance oils from trusted suppliers who follow international IFRA-aligned safety guidelines for skin-contact products.

3. Distilled Water

Used in small amounts where needed for blending, purity, and stability.

4. No Hidden Ingredients

We never use:

🚫 Methanol

🚫 Industrial alcohol

🚫 Candle/diffuser oils

🚫 Harsh chemical fixatives not approved for cosmetic use

🚫 Paraben or phthalate–containing additives

🚫 Unknown “mystery blends”

Your perfume contains only what is needed for a safe, beautiful, long-lasting scent.

🛡️ Our Safety Measures

We follow a strict internal safety process to ensure every bottle is clean, safe, and skin-friendly.

✔️ Cosmetic-Grade Raw Materials Only

Every ingredient we use is intended for skin-contact cosmetic products, not home-fragrance products.

✔️ IFRA-Guided Sourcing

Our fragrance oils are sourced from reputable suppliers who follow IFRA and global cosmetic standards for restricted ingredients and safe usage levels.

✔️ Batch Testing

Before any fragrance is released, we test each batch for:

• Skin sensitivity (patch-tested)

• Clarity & separation

• Longevity

✔️ Hand-Bottled in Clean Conditions

All perfumes are bottled in a controlled, sanitized environment to ensure quality and product integrity.

✔️ Heat & Stability Monitoring

South African temperatures can be extreme, so we test our perfumes under heat to ensure they remain stable and safe even in summer.

✔️ Customer Patch-Test Guidance

Because all skin is unique, we encourage patch-testing—especially for sensitive skin, eczema-prone skin, or very hot weather.

🌿 Safe, Transparent, Honest Perfumes

We believe luxury shouldn’t come with risk.

That’s why every Scented Affair bottle is crafted with care, tested thoroughly, and made with ingredients you can trust.
