Translating to 'balance' in Czech, Váhy is a fragrance house whose greatest source of inspiration is nature. Using 100% natural and cruelty-free ingredients, the range of scents are made in Australia without any synthetics. It’s something Melbourne-based founders Kate Macdonald and Anna Weatherlake are passionate about; they’ve compiled a list of over 1,400 chemicals that they’ve vowed never to use in their products. This concern for ingredient transparency harks back to Kate’s days as a corporate lawyer. She was shocked and surprised to find that many fragrance brands were misleading about what their products contained, either obscuring certain ingredients or using blanket terms like ‘parfum’ to describe others. The Váhy formulations are housed in signature black glass bottles and recyclable packaging. Complex, sophisticated and positively intoxicating, these small-batch and gender-neutral fragrances prove that a signature scent can be sustainable.
