I found several search results related to fragrances and their ingredients, but none of them specifically mention "Scent UK" or provide reviews of their products. However, I can provide some general information about fragrances and their ingredients.
What are fragrances? Fragrances are used in consumer products to create pleasing scents or to mask unpleasant odors. They are typically a combination of chemicals that give each perfume or cologne its distinct scent. Fragrance ingredients may be derived from petroleum or natural raw materials.
Are fragrance ingredients disclosed? Fragrance formulations are considered a "trade secret" and therefore protected from disclosure, even to regulators or manufacturers. Instead, one word, "fragrance," appears on ingredients lists for countless cosmetics, personal care, and cleaning products. A single scent may contain anywhere from 50 to 300 distinct chemicals. While most fragrance chemicals are not disclosed, some are linked to serious health problems such as cancer, reproductive and developmental toxicity, allergies, and sensitivities.
Positive aspects of fragrances Fragrances are used to create pleasing scents that can enhance our mood and well-being.
Negative aspects of fragrances Fragrances can contain chemicals that are linked to serious health problems such as cancer, reproductive and developmental toxicity, allergies, and sensitivities. Additionally, some people may be sensitive to certain fragrances and experience headaches, dizziness, or other symptoms.
Ingredients or materials Fragrance ingredients may be derived from petroleum or natural raw materials. However, fragrance formulations are considered a "trade secret" and therefore protected from disclosure, even to regulators or manufacturers. Companies that manufacture perfume or cologne purchase fragrance mixtures from fragrance houses to develop their own proprietary blends. In addition to "scent" chemicals that create the fragrance, perfumes and colognes also contain solvents, stabilizers, UV-absorbers, preservatives, and dyes. These additives are frequently, but not always, listed on product labels. In contrast, the chemical components in fragrance itself are protected as trade secrets and described on the label only as "fragrance".
