Sweets Perfume is a subsidiary of the Sweetly You Bath & Body Company. Sweetly You was established in 2008 with the goal to make quality bath and body products which help our customers feel like they can truly be themselves. With hundreds of unique fragrances created for our bath and body products, we receive many requests to make the fragrances themselves available as perfumes. We personally have been frustrated by the lack for perfumes on the market tailored to the sweeter side. It was just too hard to find a perfume to match a sweeter personality unless you wanted to rub candles all over yourself each morning. Sweets Perfume has created hundreds of fragrances in all categories, including: sweet, floral, refreshing, etc. We even have a men's line. With so many delightful fragrances, you’re sure to find one or more that is just right for you. One of the questions asked of us is why did you take so long to introduce a perfume line? It is something that has always been on our minds, but was not sure the best way to do so. The Sweetly You philosophy has been to not add anything to our products that don't contribute in some way. Virtually all perfumes are diluted in denatured alcohol, which is not in keeping with our philosophy. Denatured alcohol is predominantly ethanol with a number of other additives designed to make the ethanol undrinkable. Not only are the additives all considered hazardous to one's health, the denatured alcohol is the primary cause of sensitivity to perfumes, not the fragrance oil. In addition, because of the irritation the alcohol causes on the skin, it promotes the development of allergies to the fragrance itself in those with a tendency to develop allergies. The list of reasons not to use ethanol can go on for a while, so what is the reason ethanol is used? Predominantly to dilute the fragrance oil so that the consumer needs to use more and the fragrance is not stable as long (shelf life of 1 year rather than many years). It also makes it less expensive to manufacture, but those costs typically don't translate to the consumer. After long deliberations, we finally decided the easy solution to our dilema was to offer pure oil fragrances. Our fragrances offer the consumer the highest possible quality fragrance without colorings or other additives. In addition, because there is not alcohol in our products, our perfumes can be shipped by air mail making it possible for us to ship international and for domestic clients to get their packages faster.
