About Skylar
Skylar founder Cat Chen’s love affair with fragrances began in childhood, when her grandmother’s scented lotions would soothe her eczema and boost her mood. As she grew up, wearing scents became an important part of Chen’s daily routine, but after having a baby, it became apparent that her daughter was allergic to her perfumes. After trying and failing to find elevated fragrances that wouldn’t trigger a reaction, Chen founded Skylar to create what she needed: Hypoallergenic perfumes made with a combination of natural ingredients and non-irritating synthetics. They’re also easy to try at home and layer with each other to create a signature scent that’s uniquely your own.

Why we love them
For Chen, choosing a perfume is akin to putting together your outfit on any given day: What you pick can change with the seasons, your schedule, and your mood. That’s why Skylar offers a bunch of ways to find and purchase the right fragrances for you: Get started with the Discovery Set, which includes five samplers for $25 and helped KCM’s Victoria find a new favorite, in Vanilla Sky. Skylar also offers both travel-size rollerballs and full-size bottles of all its scents, and encourages you to layer and combine them to find exactly what suits you that day. And for serious perfume enthusiasts, we recommend joining the Scent Club, to receive a new rollerball every month for $20, plus discounts on the rest of your fragrance shopping.
