What You Should Know About Synthetic Scents

For Our Family, Thoughtful Fragrance Is Personal.

When Robert, my father, was diagnosed with leukemia, our family’s priorities changed. Through his continuing cancer journey, we began paying closer attention to everyday routines—including the products we wore on our skin.

For me, that curiosity became a purpose: creating fragrances we could enjoy together, with thoughtful ingredients, beautiful compositions, and care behind every bottle.

That purpose became DeCuzzi Fragrance.

Understanding What We Wear

Fragrance is a blend of art and chemistry. Both natural and synthetic ingredients have a place in modern perfumery, and we believe each deserves thoughtful consideration.

Our approach starts with questions: What does this ingredient contribute? What safety information is available? Is it appropriate at the concentration used?

We call this clean science—a commitment to informed formulation, clear communication, and continued learning.

The Care Behind Our Fragrances

Every DeCuzzi fragrance reflects deliberate choices:

- No parabens, phthalates, or formaldehyde

- Carefully selected natural and synthetic fragrance ingredients

- Vegan and cruelty-free formulations

- Hand-filled, inspected, labeled, and finished in New Jersey

We value ingredients for their quality, suitability, and contribution to the finished scent. “Natural” alone does not guarantee safety, and “synthetic” alone does not indicate harm. Fragrance can cause sensitivities, so we encourage customers to consider their individual needs.

Made With Family and Community in Mind

Building this business together has given us something meaningful to share through difficult days: creativity, connection, and reasons to look forward.

We carry that spirit into our community—through conversations, encouragement, and the relationships we build with the people who wear our fragrances.

For anyone navigating illness, supporting someone they love, or working toward a new beginning, we hope our story offers encouragement. There is still room for joy, confidence, and something beautiful in everyday life.
