Smell Great, Stay Grounded Without the Chemicals.

Nature-Infused Bracelets Backed By Real Science.

Most colognes are made with vague ingredients like “fragrance” — a legal loophole that lets companies hide 3,000+ synthetic chemicals, many linked to hormone disruption, phthalates, allergens, and even fertility issues. 

At ObsidWear, we believe scent should enhance your body, not mess with it. That's why we created clean, wearable scent tools that combine natural lava rock and evidence-backed essential oils— no sprays, no synthetics, no BS.

🚫 The Problem with Fragrance

“Fragrance” isn’t one ingredient — it’s a loophole.

Brands can legally use that word to hide thousands of untested chemicals— including phthalates, parabens, and allergens.

🔬A 2022 systematic review confirmed that many synthetic fragrance chemicals found in colognes are linked to hormone imbalance, asthma, and fertility concerns.

🌋 Why Lava Rock?

Lava rock is a naturally porous volcanic stone that absorbs and slowly releases essential oils throughout the day.

• 🕐 Absorbent texture holds oils for up to 8–12 hours
• ⚡No heat or electricity needed — just a drop of oil
• 👃Worn close to the body, where scent can be subtly inhaled over time
