Fragrance, also listed as parfum or perfume, is a general ingredient declaration used for substances or mixtures added to products to provide or modify their scent. Fragrance formulations may contain naturally derived and synthetic aromatic compounds, along with supporting ingredients such as solvents and fixatives. In many products, individual fragrance ingredients are not fully disclosed on the label, making it difficult for consumers to identify all chemicals present. Some fragrance ingredients are associated with allergic reactions or other health concerns, although their hazards vary substantially. Fragrances are commonly found in perfumes, cosmetics, personal care products, cleaning products, air fresheners, and other scented household goods. Examples of individual fragrance ingredients include limonene, linalool, benzyl alcohol, and certain synthetic musks.
