There are many great reasons why it did not take long for me to realize that TSVGA PARFVMS needed to go all natural. Watch my video for some of my thoughts on it and check out some of these great articles written by other natural perfumers.
Here are some great resources to read more about natural perfumery and why it is so important and different than synthetic perfumery.
Check it out before jumping on to the bandwagon of outrage based on myths. If you find you are immediately triggered just by seeing this, I challenge you to open your mind for a second and educate yourself. Yes there are some inhumane practices out there… SOME. I do my own due diligence to not support those. I actually source several different animal musks directly from a state-hired trapper which helps the animal population and their habitats. My interview with him can be watched here:
Here is a link to a great read about the ethics of using natural musks.
”In the case of Siberia, the species of deer being hunted is not a species threatened with extinction, and the hunting lottery system means that only a finite number of musk deer are killed in the region each year. The most valuable by-product of the Siberian musk deer is indeed its musk sac, but not a single part of the deer is wasted: the meat is eaten, the hide is made into clothing and leather, and the hooves used to make glue.
During a legal, licensed hunt, the kill is as humane as possible (shooting instead of trapping) and the proceeds help support local families who live off the seasonal hunt. Hunting has always played an important role in the local economies of wherever a valuable resource lies, be it salmon, deer, oud, or sandalwood.”
