About Us and Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
While there is no standard cosmetic industry definition of 'clean,’ all Sif Sniffs fragrances are formulated without phthalates or parabens. We are dedicated to ethical formulations. While our fragrances are not entirely natural to avoid using animal byproducts, Sif Sniffs fragrances are all formulated to be as natural or naturally derived as possible.
-
Melissa, our perfumer, originally started formulating fragrances based on her stores of essential oils. While many essential oils are not skin-safe and don’t meet IRFA regulations, commonly used fragrance-safe essential oils, such as lavender, are widely used. Melissa also uses ingredients like ethyl vanillin and hedione, which have been used in the fragrance industry for decades.

Sif Sniffs does not believe in reproducing someone else’s art.
Fragrances are frequently discontinued due to the nature of their ingredients. When an ingredient is banned, and companies are no longer allowed to use it, some fragrances are discontinued rather than reformulated. As a result, reproducing them is impossible without violating those same guidelines.

The Sif Sniffs Team
Melissa Sifjardóttir, CEO, Perfumer, Wonder Woman
A tarot reader for over 20 years, a witch for just as many, as well as a therapist, fitness instructor, occasional stand-up comedian, and now perfumer and business owner, Melissa has spent a lifetime finding her passion (or living wildly as an unmedicated neurodivergent).
When not reading Tarot cards for people, making perfumes, or researching and editing her podcast, Sillage and Sorcery, Melissa reads way too many books about the social and behavioral sciences (with some dystopian sci-fi peppered in), plays with her Havanese puppy Bennett, cuddles with her Maine Coon cat Bryce, and occasionally tolerates her husband of over seven years, Chris.
