synthetic fragrances

Synthetic fragrances are man-made, chemically-created scents designed to mimic natural odors or create entirely new fragrances. Used extensively in perfumes, cosmetics, and household products, they are formulated in laboratories rather than derived directly from plants, flowers, or other natural sources. These synthetic scents allow manufacturers to produce a wide variety of fragrances consistently and often more affordably than natural options. While they can enhance product appeal and stability, some synthetic fragrances may cause skin irritation or allergies in sensitive individuals. Overall, they serve as versatile, controlled components in the creation of many scented products.
