I greatly appreciate your patience everyone when it comes to the Best of Indie Winners. School has been taking up a ton of time so it took a little while to edit all the badges for the post. If you missed it, I posted Part One of the winners, focusing on the Cosmetics categories. This is Part Two, focusing on the Bath and Body and Fragrances category. I hope you find something nice to pamper your body and to smell nice with and be sure to read to the bottom for a nice surprise!

Brand Overview Winners









The winners for the Brand Overview Categories are dominated by two brands so instead of just linking to the winners, I'll also be linking to the second and third place winners so you have a great variety of brands to try!





Best Established Indie Perfume Brand



Haus of Gloi . Haus of Gloi, an Oregon-based vegan brand, is an immensely popular fragrance and bath and body company. Specializing in unique and artisan blends (with very poetic descriptions to boot). Not only do they offer a core line of perfume oils, they also have limited edition collections available. Their popularity means you do have to be quick with their limited edition scents but no worries when it comes to their permanent line! Their bath and body products also include different scrubs and lotions and butters.

They do ship internationally.





Haus of Gloi won with 29.5%, Darling Clandestine came in second with 17.5%, and Solstice Scents is rounding out third with 15.8%





Best Up & Coming Indie Perfume Brand

Sixteen92 . Sixteen92 (a throwback to the year 1692 and the Salem Witch Trials) is still relatively new (having opened last year) but has risen in popularity for their perfumes and bath and body products. Their samples are also very generous so you get your money's worth if you want to try them out. I hear great things about their Lolita and Toasted Marshmallow scents if you're not sure where to start! Based in Texas, and they do ship internationally.





Sixteen92 won with 40.9%, Smelly Yeti came in second with 17.5% of the vote, and Ten Three Labs came in third with 13.5% of the vote.

Black Violet. I'm not too familiar with Black Violet but from what I can see, they're a shop dedicated to producing perfumes and a variety of body care products. It also looks like they have some skin and hair products too (if you're interested in an indie version). I believe they ship internationally.





Solstice Scents. This is a company I'm a bit more familiar with, even though I've never actually purchased from them. They're also a shop selling both perfumes and body care products and they're based out of Florida. I always get a big Fall/Autumn vibe when I scope their site and they're very well known for their Autumn collection! I believe they ship internationally,

Solstice Scents Burnishing Glace

both split first place with 27.2% of the vote, followed by

FYI The Haus of Gloi Butterbombs are a seasonal product and are usually sold when the temperature is a bit colder.





Fragrances Winners





I was pleasantly surprised at the results of the Fragrances section. Admittedly I was worried that the voting would be consistent for each category but the voting actually varied pretty wildly. Although a few brands won across several categories, the second and third places was generally different!





Best Aquatic Scents

Darling Clandestine . I'm also not too familiar with Darling Clandestine but they do seem to get a lot of love for their unique and alternative scents. As far as I can tell, they sell perfumes, solid perfumes, and lip balms.

The offerings are a bit limited now but I believe they're prepping for a new March collection.

I believe they do ship internationally.
