Also called "fragrance", this ingredient can be a blend of hundreds of chemicals or plant oils. This means every product with "fragrance" or "parfum" in the ingredients list is a different mixture.
In the US, the alternative name for parfum is 'fragrance'.
The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term.
For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance by INCI standards.
One example is Calendula flower extract. Calendula is an essential oil that still imparts a scent or 'fragrance'.
Depending on the blend, the ingredients in the mixture can cause allergies and sensitivities on the skin. Some ingredients that are known EU allergens include linalool and citronellol.
Parfum can also be used to mask or cover an unpleasant scent.
The bottom line is: not all fragrances/parfum/ingredients are created equally. If you are worried about fragrances, we recommend taking a closer look at an ingredient. And of course, we always recommend speaking with a professional.

Good Drugstore Option on the go
This Micellar water does the job, whitout burning in the eye. I feel it struggles a bit with long-lasting make up, but when I need forget a travel size / product and I only see a drugstore this is my go-to option, as the small size is very affordable.

Nice for waterproof makeup
I have oily skin, so I only use this micellar water to remove my waterproof mascara and my eyeliner. I don't use it for my whole face because I don't usually wear foundation, I mostly just wear eyeliner, eyebrow filler and mascara. Works great if you wan't to remove your eye makeup without pain, irritation or having to scratch your eyelashes, I just use a cotton pad and press gently my eyes two or three times each.
