Meet Carter+Jane: The Art of Clean, Conscious Perfume
At Scentient, we believe perfume should do more than smell beautiful—it should be made beautifully. That’s why we’re proud to introduce Carter+Jane, a pioneering clean perfume brand crafting small-batch, oil-based, alcohol-free fragrances that meet the highest standards of purity, sustainability, and ethics.
Co-founded by Susan Carter and Sara Jane Pirok, Carter+Jane is a love letter to the power of plants and proof that natural fragrances can deliver both luxury and integrity. Every perfume is vegan, cruelty-free, and transparently formulated, showing that performance never requires compromise.
Whether you’re new to clean fragrance or a long-time advocate of natural beauty, Carter+Jane offers a uniquely sustainable, conscious perfume experience that is as captivating as it is responsible.
A Mission with Meaning
Carter+Jane began with a bold idea: that truly clean, high-performance beauty should not be a niche—it should be the new normal.
Their journey started in skincare, with the launch of The Everything Oil™, a revolutionary face and body oil based on USDA-certified organic prickly pear seed oil. This multipurpose formula quickly earned cult status for its effectiveness and purity. But the brand didn’t stop there. Carter+Jane expanded into natural fragrance, applying the same meticulous care to every drop of essential oil and botanical extract.
From day one, their mission has been guided by three principles:
Never harm people
Never harm the planet
Never harm animals
This ethos flows through every product they create—from their nourishing base oils to the sustainably harvested florals and resins used in their perfumes.
What Makes Carter+Jane Stand Out
Carter+Jane’s perfume oils are more than clean—they are radically transparent, deeply intentional, and exceptionally crafted. Here’s why they stand out in the world of fragrance:
✅ 100% Natural Ingredients
Each scent is made with essential oils, absolutes, and CO₂ extracts—never synthetic aroma chemicals. If it isn’t plant-based, it doesn’t go in.
✅ Alcohol-Free & Skin-Loving
Instead of alcohol, Carter+Jane uses organic grapeseed oil as the base. This makes their perfumes moisturizing, gentle on sensitive skin, and perfect for layering without irritation.
✅ Vegan & Cruelty-Free
No animal testing. No animal ingredients. Just nature in its most nurturing form.
✅ Non-Toxic & Hormone-Safe
Their formulas are phthalate-free, paraben-free, and petrochemical-free, aligning with the highest standards of ingredient safety.
✅ Sustainably Sourced
Many ingredients are certified organic or wildcrafted, sourced through fair trade cooperatives—like their prickly pear seed oil from a women-led Berber cooperative in Morocco.
✅ Made in the USA
Every product is handcrafted in small batches to preserve freshness and quality.
The Scent Experience: More Than Just Fragrance
Carter+Jane’s perfume oils aren’t just applied—they’re experienced. Their roll-on format allows for intentional use throughout the day, transforming fragrance into a sensory ritual.
The scents evolve softly on the skin, without the overpowering projection of alcohol-based perfumes. Instead, they wear close, creating a subtle, personal aura—ideal for those who appreciate fragrance as an intimate extension of self.
At Scentient, we love how Carter+Jane invites you to slow down, connect with your senses, and make each application a mindful moment.
Two Icons in the Carter+Jane Collection
Here are two standout scents you can discover through Scentient’s clean fragrance subscription—each telling its own story through nature:
🌼 Neroli – A Citrus-Soaked Memory of Morocco.
This is where it all began for Carter+Jane. During a road trip through the Moroccan countryside, Susan and Sara Jane followed a roadside sign to a small orange blossom farm. What they found was life-changing: the unforgettable scent of fresh neroli flowers drifting through sun-warmed air.
That moment inspired the creation of Neroli Roll-On Aroma, which took over 260 formulations to perfect.
