Our fine fragrances center around core essential oils, chosen for their mood-enhancing qualities. Each fragrance deepens your connection to both your emotional self and the world around you. Belnu guides you towards your most positive feelings.

Founder's note

Scent is a tool I’ve consistently used to tune into my emotions and show up as the most confident version of myself. By channeling the functional healing powers of natural aromas into our fragrances, scent becomes a medium for mood enhancement and personal empowerment. I hope you’ll find beauty in creating your own Belnu ritual to Turn Inward and Connect Outward.

Formula FAQ

Are you a clean brand?

Our brand was created out of a desire for cleaner, safer luxury fragrance. We select ingredients and formulate based on a combination of factors, including quality, safety, efficacy, stability, and functional properties. We choose to formulate our scents with natural, upcycled ingredients, and notes derived from green chemistry. We operate with full ingredient transparency and formulate without listed EU allergens, parabens, and other toxins—you can see our full no list in the "Formulated Without" section above.

How do you decide what ingredients will be upcycled?

We use upcycling technology where it is both available to us and additive to the formula. Upcycled ingredients will have a slightly different scent. Ingredients' scent profiles shift based on where they are sourced from and this always plays a role into the selection process.

Are your fragrances 100% natural?

We consciously choose not to formulate with 100% natural ingredients. While we use many naturals and essential oils, contrary to popular belief, heavy concentrations of natural and raw substances can cause severe reactions. By incorporating green chemistry, we are able to pull inspiration from nature and create synthetics that are gentler on your skin and the environment.
