sample size vegan perfume + aromatherapeutic oils

Just the Goods' range of gender neutral aromatherapeutic and perfume oils are made with essential oils, absolutes, and attars that blend with the wearer's natural chemistry to create a personal scent that holds close to the body.  Artificial scents, chemical fixatives, propellants and/or preservatives are never included as they are associated with allergies among other health risks that simply do not meet Just the Goods' high standards for safe cosmetics. 

Developed with the careful balance between safety and affordability in mind, and generally created over 14 years ago when Just the Goods was in its infancy, it should be noted that many of these scents are not complex and many reflect principles of aromatherapy more than developed perfumery. Wild Woods is the one exception in this category as it was the last one I created (perhaps 10 years ago) before only exploring new scents on a limited edition basis. Limited edition and occasional re-releases are offered on a rather spontaneous basis, so there is no predetermined schedule; however, if you are interested in finding out when they are offered, please subscribe to Just the Goods’ newsletter, which publishes 2 - 4 times per year. 

Please note: These are not diffuser oils. The essential oils and attars in these perfume and aromatherapeutic oils have been blended with a carrier oil (medium chain triglyceride coconut oil) to skin safe ratios, which means they should not be used in a diffuser or atomizer or any kind as to do so will cause damage to that device. Thank you.

What's the difference between perfume and aromatherapeutic oils?

Aromatherapy is the practice of using scent to support emotions or energy levels. For example, lavender is calming; peppermint is invigorating and energizing.

JTG's aromatherapeutic oils are developed taking into consideration how a scent will encourage someone to feel, rather than how the scent will wear on the body, especially since some people will choose to use the oils not as perfume/cologne, but as something to smell directly from the bottle.

JTG's fragrance line is designed more conventionally like perfume/cologne to be worn on the body.

All JTG scents are gender neutral. The best way to choose an aromatherapeutic oil is to consider the name of the variety, while also checking to see which ingredients appeal to you most. The best way to choose a perfume/fragrance for your body is to see which ingredients appeal to you: citrus, fresh herbs, woods, florals, etc.

Samples of JTG's primary range of aromatherapeutic and perfume/fragrance oils are made available so folks can try them on their bodies and decide if they like how it smells with their unique chemistry.  From time to time Just the Goods makes limited edition aromatherapeutic and perfume/fragrance oils, but they often don't have sample sizes because only a small quantity is made available for purchase, and because they often sell out quickly.

Just the Goods aromatherapeutic and perfume/fragrance oils are blended using essential oils and never contain synthetic fixatives or propellants. This means JTG's oils will smell different on each person because they'll mix with the individual chemistry of the wearer -- the way they smell inside the bottle doesn't necessarily smell the same way on the body. As such, it is always recommended to try samples first before diving into full size products, especially if you're not sure which ones you'd like best.

Please note that the absence of propellants and fixatives means scent will wear close to the body, and will need to be reapplied more frequently than conventional synthetic scent.

Out of stock notices

Please note that all perfume samples are made from batch ends. If any are out of stock, particularly during the holiday season (or any other busy time of year), it is because attention has been directed to making and filling full-size products. Restocking samples is not part of our regular production schedule, so we're unable to estimate when out-of-stock items will return to inventory, other than to suggest checking again in a few weeks. Thank you! 

Note about "Playful", Just the Goods' now discontinued vanilla scented perfume

For over a decade Just the Goods offered a perfume variety called "Playful" -- it featured natural vanilla absolute made from real vanilla beans, and clove essential oil. It has been discontinued for a few reasons, which are as follows:

First: vanilla absolute is an alcohol extraction, which means it has a substantially different density than the other ingredients in the formula. This makes it very difficult to blend and package so each bottle has the same distribution of ingredients. It has, unfortunately, become too time consuming to continue making this product.

Second: Because the vanilla absolute has a different density, it settles in its packaging, and this has been mistaken as defect and/or damage, even though it is not

Next: The vanilla absolute used in this formula was a natural plant-based ingredient, not a synthetic/artificial vanilla. This means it smelled like real vanilla extract, not artificial vanilla flavour. An increasing number of folks have expressed preference for a vanilla scent that is reminiscent of cake, ice cream, or candy and were disappointed when this product did not meet that expectation, despite a scent profile/description conveying that this product was a warm, heavy natural vanilla scent and did not smell light or sweet like artificial vanilla flavouring.

Finally, on a more personal note, I don't enjoy vanilla scented things and didn't enjoy making this formula. 😅

But! Good news! Playful is still available in three formats: body butter, massage/body oil, and sugar body scrub. You can find them listed here: https://justthegoods.net/products/vegan-body-butter , here: https://justthegoods.net/products/vegan-nut-free-massage-oil  and here: https://justthegoods.net/products/vegan-raw-sugar-body-scrub 😊

The final 25 full sized vials of playful perfume were bottled and listed on January 8. If still available, they may be found here: https://justthegoods.net/products/vegan-perfume-aromatherapeutic-oils

Thank you!!
