# Eco Perfume Pouches Floratropia Approaches Personal Fragrance with "More Perfume, Less Packaging" By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-07-07 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-fragrance References: [premiumbeautynews](https://www.premiumbeautynews.com/en/floratropia-the-startup) & [floratropia](https://floratropia.com/) Purchasing a product in a beautifully designed bottle seems like an integral part of the personal fragrance experience but Floratropia is a start-up that's challenging this notion by approaching perfume in a different way. The brand is not only committed to [100% natural and vegan perfume](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvetvelo) products but also eco-friendly solutions that deliver "more perfume, less packaging." Notably, on the subject of all-natural perfumes, creator Karine Torrent says that, "We even had a lot of very negative feedback. There is this firmly anchored conviction that a beautiful perfume cannot be completely natural." Rather than packaging its product in luxurious bottles that will ultimately be thrown away, the brand creates [flexible refill pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragrance-refill) and [travel-sized sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parfum-intense-purse-spray) that can be replenished as needed.
