For those who hold that ethyl alcohol of unspecified origin is treated as chometz, even if denatured. Is there a list of perfumes that are not chometz?

There are specific brands that advertise the source of their alcohol. Skylar Clean Beauty and Wicked Good Co say their alcohol is derived from sugar cane. Demeter Fragrance says their naturals line (no comment on their other products) is derived from alcohol naturally fermented from corn. Can this information be trusted?

You mean to tell me you can't go for 8 days without perfume? Yeesh.

Just because she asked the question doesn't mean she is desperate to wear wrfume and can't go eight days without it. There is nothing wrong with asking or wanting to wear. If she wants to smell nice let her, no need to attack her.

Yes, for some of us the thought of going without perfume for 8 days is hard.
People are different.
For me personally it's harder than going without bread.
OP, I do have a musk oil that I wear that has no alcohol.
I get sick of it though very quickly, especially if the weather turns warm, so I usually just end up wearing it for the first couple of days and then go on a 'perfume fast' until the end of the chag.

I love my perfume, but unfortunately, it's not going to be able to ship to any of you before Pesach.

OP, can you get your hands on essential oils which smell good to you? Roses, citrus blossom, cedar, or anything like that?

As far as I know, Marc jacobs, Versace and Burberry brands should be good for pesach.

I can. That doesn't mean I want to if I don't have to. Do you never use anything you can live without?

Marc Jacobs perfumes are good.
Went with DH to Macy's to buy a new one. Wink

Not sure if all Marc Jacobs and Burberry are good as they are listed individually in Rabbi Blumenkrantzs book (why would he not just say they are all good….?) I do know the Burberry London and Marc Jacobs Daisy are Kosher for Passover.
