Fragrance Sensitivity: A Softer Approach to Fragrance


Fragrance sensitivity affects around 
1 in 3 adults (Source: Based on population survey research by Dr. Anne Steinemann), yet much of the fragrance industry continues to focus on stronger projection, higher fragrance concentrations and longer-lasting scents.

At Iseult, we created something different.

Our fragrances are designed specifically for scent-sensitive individuals and for those who simply prefer a softer, more understated way to wear fragrance.

 

Why Fragrance Concentration Matters

Traditional perfumes are formulated with much higher fragrance concentrations than ours.

  • Parfum (Extrait): 20–40%
  • Eau de Parfum: 15–20%
  • Eau de Toilette: 5–15%
  • Eau de Cologne: 2–5%
  • Iseult Fragrance Mist: 1%

With just 1% fragrance concentration, our fragrance mists offer a lighter fragrance experience. Rather than projecting across a room, they're designed to sit close to the skin, creating a subtle skin scent that feels personal and comfortable to wear.

 

Two Skin Scents

Every Iseult fragrance is carefully composed with softness in mind.

Cairngorms is a soft woody musk fragrance inspired by the Scottish Highlands. Delicate florals and warm woods come together to create a subtle skin scent that feels calm, grounding and effortless.

Siena is a clean citrus fragrance inspired by the Mediterranean. Bright citrus, soft florals and warm amber create a fresh, understated scent designed for everyday wear.

Both fragrances were created to be enjoyed up close, offering a low-intensity fragrance experience without overpowering the space around you.

 

A Different Approach to Fragrance

When we created Iseult, we couldn't find a fragrance house dedicated to scent-sensitive individuals.

That's why every decision we make, from our 1% fragrance concentration to our carefully selected scent profiles, and clean formulation begins with the same philosophy: fragrance should feel personal, comfortable and never overwhelming.

For those who've always loved fragrance but wished it could be softer, welcome to Iseult.
