Across the world, more people are starting to ask what goes into their perfumes, leading to a growing interest in clean fragrances made with safer, more transparent ingredients. Unlike traditional perfumes that often hide chemicals under broad “fragrance” labels, clean perfumes focus on simple, plant-based ingredients that are gentler on the skin and the environment.
This shift is also encouraged by rising concerns about waste, with the beauty industry producing billions of units of packaging every year. As a result, many brands are rethinking not only what they put into their perfumes but also how they make them. In India, this shift has been especially meaningful because the country already has a rich history in natural perfumery, from centuries-old attar-making in Kannauj to the cultural significance of sandalwood. Today, a new generation of Indian fragrance brands is blending this heritage with modern, cleaner approaches.
For instance, Naso Profumi uses traditional cold-pressed attar methods while keeping their formulas simple and transparent. Embark creates gender-neutral perfumes that adhere to safer global standards without compromising their modern appeal. Boond works closely with rural distillers to preserve traditional attar-making practices while promoting ethical sourcing. ISAK, with its roots in a 100-year-old Lucknowi perfume family, mixes classic recipes with responsible ingredient choices and recyclable packaging.
Together, these brands show how clean perfumery doesn’t have to be boring or restrictive — it can still feel luxurious, thoughtful, and deeply connected to nature. As more people look for products that are better for them and the planet, clean perfumes are becoming a new expression of simple, conscious luxury, and Indian brands are playing a major role in shaping this movement.
