Kierin NYC Launches in the UK

Perfumes are definitely something people tend to struggle with when they switch to a vegan lifestyle. Most popular fragrances on the high street either contain animal derived ingredients or are from brands that sell in China. So, naturally, I was thrilled to see Kierin NYC bring their vegan fragrances to the UK. Their vegan-friendly, lingering scents inspired by city lives and vibes are a welcome treat to the UK perfume market.

You can find the entire range stocked on the Perfume Shop’s vegan section.

The Fragrances

Kierin NYC has launched with 4 signature scents capturing different events and environments, understanding the impact scent has on our mood and outlook;

  • Nitro Noir is sweet, spicy and intoxicating. It’s a sexy scent for those that love to stand out in a crowd. Best suited for a night out.
  • Santal Sky is a warm scent of peace. This intense, milky sandalwood scent fills your lungs with gentle smiles. This can really help you unwind and relax; great for cosy days in or slow, mindful adventures.
  • Sunday Brunch is like bucksfizz and earl grey on a summer’s morning. Full of optimism and youth, the start to a day full of adventure. It’s zesty and energetic; the perfect start to any day.
  • 10am Flirt is romantic but subtle. With a dash of ‘come hither’ it’s airy and fresh with a summery gardenia scent to it, with a hint of fig. Inspired by a magnetic moment of attraction between two strangers passing in Central Park.

My favourite is Sunday Brunch; I was surprised to find I loved the mix of zest and earl grey tea but it’s beautifully uplifting. It smells of fun, youth and spontaneity, so I’m more than happy to have this fragrance lead my head and choices.

Vegan & cruelty free

Kierin NYC are proudly vegan and cruelty free. Their formulations are never tested on animals and they don’t use animal products.

Not all perfumes are vegan-friendly; they can contain animal products like milk, honey, leather, beeswax and civet. The latter of these, civet, comes from the anal gland of an endangered animal and bizarrely doesn’t need to be declared on the back of a product. It can be hidden as “fragrance”, “perfume” or “parfum” on the ingredients list. Beyond ingredients, most mainstream perfume brands sell to China which means their products aren’t cruelty-free.

White Bottles and Clean Ingredients

The perfume bottles are made from recyclable glass and coated with a layer of white opaque natural paint. This protects the fragrance from sunlight and stops them from using allergy flaring perfume colourings or UV filters.

They keep their ingredients clean and create perfumes that are formulated without sulfates, parabens, phthalates and formaldehyde.
