Personally, I find the fact that they take pains to point out that it’s vegan and cruelty free the most offensive since
1: pointing it out kinda implies that they expect people to expect meat byproducts and cruelty from their perfumes and
2: the Venn diagram of people who would want a bacon perfume and people who are vegan and/or are actively conscious about animal testing and other cruelty associated with consumerism probably features infinitesimal overlap, if any 😄
Perfumes are often made with some animal part to carry the good smell chemicals. Notable examples are whale shit and beaver anal glands. The glands get banned, and then the industry finds and targets a new animal (heard at a perfume tour).
