'Wide Society' is the name of a new environmentally focused brand from The Different Company that is offering a fresh perspective on high-end travel perfumes.
Throughout the fragrance brand's product line, plastic is used incredibly sparingly and can only be found on the pumps, which can be unscrewed for refilling. Otherwise, the brand favors recyclable materials like aluminum, cotton, glass and linen, as well as certified recycled materials such as cardboard.
For the mindful traveler who wants to reduce their footprint, Wide Society offers kits like the Weekender, which pairs six refillable 10-milliliter bottles with a metal funnel. Some of the scents offered by Wide Society include choices like Acqua Travelis, Up in the Air and Suite#6, which are also sold in larger bottles that may be left in one's bathroom and used to replenish the smaller, portable bottles.
