My honest response to this is: " natural " is a highly

subjective term. I've gone through lengths (personal

purpose and research of differing views) to try to

come to an acceptable " definition " across the board,

and (in short) have found there to be none. I have

found it to relevant only in context ie: 1) who is

asking 2) from what school of thought.

'Wellness' is the new trendy term... Your comment on this was quite

right Anya: another one jumping on the 'natural' bandwagon...

Disgraceful!! I sell very uplifting or relaxing pulse-points perfumes

in fractionated coconut or jojoba oil bottled in 10 ml roller bottles

for £10 ($20) to my private clients! Maybe I should call

them 'wellness' perfumes and sell them at 10 times the price:)

I think, if it doesn't say " from essential oil " or " from absolute " in

the list of ingredients, I don't believe it is all-natural. Most of

those listed notes are inexpensive enough to be real, but I start

doubting their authenticity when they list " musk " instead of

specifying " ambrette seeds. " (And what, exactly, do they mean by

" leather? " ) The general public is not educated enough to be

skeptical about such an ingredient list. Nor are they experienced

enough to identify, for example, orange blossom as opposed to orange

peel. I suppose they take it on faith. I don't.
