From conception, THE 5TH has sought to create an all-encompassing design and scent experience, but always with personal safety and social responsibility at the forefront of each and every creative and strategic decision we make. In partnering with a perfumer that shares these same values, we proceed boldly but also with utmost caution and hold ourselves against the strictest fragrance industry standards.
Since 1973, the IFRA (International Fragrance Association) has represented, and fought to regulate, the industry.

THE 5TH pledges to never become complacent in our practices and we will continue to evolve, always researching and evaluating what more can be done to further our mission of bringing the safest, most sustainable experiences in quality fragrance and design. Therefore, our standards and social responsibilities stretch far beyond just the formula of our fragrances. Next month, on October 5, we hope to share our latest ideas regarding bottle design, packaging and the customer journey considerations that together will further our commitment to becoming a leading name within sustainable luxury fragrance.
See you on THE 5TH.
