Did you know the perfume you spritz on every morning might be doing more harm than good? When it comes to menopause, if you’re going through it (or have a loved one who is) you’d know the usual suspects that stir up symptoms—hot weather, spicy foods, or even a stressful day at work. But did you know your beloved signature scent could be quietly adding to the chaos? Yep, it turns out that many mainstream perfumes are packed with synthetic fragrances that can disrupt your hormones and intensify those pesky menopausal symptoms. Here’s the scoop. Synthetic fragrances are a cocktail of chemicals—sometimes hundreds of them—hidden behind the vague label of “fragrance” on your perfume bottle. Many of these chemicals are endocrine disruptors, which is just a fancy way of saying they can mess with your hormones. For women navigating menopause, when your hormones are already doing the cha-cha, this interference can amplify symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and even fatigue. Here’s how it works: these synthetic compounds can mimic or block your natural hormones, throwing your delicate hormonal balance even further off track. And since our sense of smell is linked to emotional regulation, spritzing on a scent that’s chemically loaded can also play tricks on your mood—something no one needs when menopausal moods are already a rollercoaster ride. But don’t worry—there’s a way to smell amazing without compromising your well-being— non-toxic perfumes- and now there’s one that’s been specifically formulated to support women navigating menopause. Vanessa Megan’s Metamorphosis skincare collection specifically tailored to enhance peri-menopausal, menopausal, and post-menopausal skin, and support women through this significant life transition have just released their very first perfume- Forme. Pronounced for-MAY, the new scent designed to harmonize with the body, rather than disrupt it is a 100% natural perfume combining a bloom of florals with ceremonial woody notes. ‘Developed using some of the world's most precious essential oils, this 100% natural fragrance is designed to help reduce stress and anxiety, while boosting mood and libido. Using aromatherapy to aid in supporting hormonal imbalances, this perfume not only smells divine but also may help support your mental and physiological health when worn. Alcohol-free and phthalate-free, this perfume is based on floral hydrosols, adding to the opulent complexity of this scent.’ Learn more about the new perfume and it’s formulation here or if you’re ready to spritz away shop it here.
