Why We Use Both Naturals and Safe Synthetics

Modern perfumery relies on a thoughtful combination of both.

Essential oils bring natural complexity and character.

Safe synthetic aroma molecules allow perfumers to:

  • Improve fragrance longevity
  • Create smoother blends
  • Reduce allergen exposure
  • Protect endangered plant species
  • Maintain consistent quality from batch to batch

All Cypress Cove fragrances are:

• IFRA compliant for safety
• Free from harsh solvents and unnecessary additives
• Blended with organic sugar cane alcohol
• Handcrafted in small batches in Texas

Transparency Matters

We believe customers deserve to understand what goes into their fragrance.

That’s why we openly share the types of ingredients used in our perfumes — combining the artistry of traditional perfumery with modern safety standards.

Favorite memories, bottled.
