Perfumes are like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae, giving you that finishing touch that evokes the senses. However, if you’re taking great pains to keep your beauty routine clean, they may be working against you.

Thankfully, clean fragrances have come to the rescue, though you’ll need to follow more than your nose to sniff them out.

When you get a whiff of certain aromas, they can whisk you into different feelings. Warm vanilla may bring you right back to your grandmother’s kitchen where you baked cookies as a child. Flowery geranium may transport you to summers spent by the lake.
