My first choice is always safe, plant derived perfumes. Because there are only a handful of truly clean options on the market in this space, I have also included “saf-er synthetic” options at popular request.
These "safe-er" synthetic perfumes utilize synthetic fragrance molecules that are beyond the nature identical synthetic modules that I consider clean. But, better is better and the safe-er synthetic options on this page don't contain phthalates, parabens or other known endocrine disruptors.

ESAS has perfect balance of long lasting scents with zero synthetics or toxins. They use organic sugarcane alcohol as a base. With all the essential oils like Neroli, Bergamot and Ylang Ylang, Neroli Blossom stole my California girl heart.

other clean options:
While botanical based perfume is the cleanest option, I understand that some people want a synthetic option that is safe-er than conventional. While we don’t have a lot of safety data on newer safe synthetic molecules, Henry Rose is my top pick.

When it comes to cologne, Henry Rose makes great safe synethic options. They aren’t too overpowering and are clean. While I prefer a plant based fragrance, this is a clean-er option for men that is accessible.
