How We Choose Our Fragrances at Friendly Goods Company

Blog, News & Updates | 0 comments

At Friendly Goods Company, choosing the right fragrances for our products is as much about vibe as it is about balance. We’re a husband-and-wife team who love creating products that not only feel great on your skin but also leave you with a scent that’s just right for any mood.

When it comes to picking a new fragrance, we have a simple and fun process: we order a bunch of different options and see which ones vibe the best. We look for scents that bring something unique but also work together in harmony. For instance, in our White Tea & Ginger soap and lotion, the ginger adds a touch of complexity to the fresh, light notes of white tea. It’s all about balance! Lavender & Sage is another favorite pairing because the soothing lavender gets an earthy boost from sage.

Our newest addition, Almond & Cherry, follows the same philosophy. It’s delightfully sweet with those bright cherry notes, but it’s grounded by the warm, earthy tones of almond. We love how it turned out, and we think you will too!

Of course, we don’t always get it right. Take Sweet Floral, for example—a blend of grapefruit and rose that we thought would be a hit. It was complex and fresh, but as soon as people saw the word ‘Floral,’ they were immediately turned off. It just didn’t sell, so we had to say goodbye to it. Lesson learned—sometimes the name can make or break a fragrance!

We’re always on the lookout for new, exciting scents that reflect the natural, handcrafted quality of our products, and we’ll keep experimenting until we find the perfect ones. Have a favorite scent you’d love to see? Let us know!

Thanks for supporting us on this fragrant journey!
