INGREDIENTS

We don’t play team natural or team synthetic — our loyalty is to the nose, not the label.Naturals give us soul, synthetics give us stamina, and together they keep our perfumes sexy, safe, and sustainable.

Every formula is cruelty-free, vegan, IFRA-compliant, and registered with both the EU CPNP and UK SCPN regulatory bodies.

No greenwashing, just good intentions and good scents. 

I’ve always treated perfume as an art form — Say Less, Smell More.

As part of EU and UK cosmetic regulations, we list any fragrance allergens that occur naturally in essential oils or are present in safe, IFRA-approved aroma molecules. 

These allergens are standard across the fragrance industry and don’t make a perfume unsafe they’re declared so people with sensitivities can make informed choices.

Why We Share This

These lists are about transparency, not alarm. Fragrance allergens are often found in everyday ingredients like citrus peels, rose oil, or spices — they don’t mean a perfume is unsafe. If you have known sensitivities, you can check the lists above for peace of mind before wearing our perfumes.

Yes!

All of The Virtue’s scents are genderless and can be worn by anyone and everyone.

There are no rules.

The Virtue started because we wanted to create rich sensory photographic experiences, with emotive scent to bring our stories to life. Now image making and scent-creating are soulfully linked.

Our products are lovingly hand made in New Plymouth, New Zealand, our fragrances our compounded in France.
