Vegan? Maybe Vegetarian? Maybe

Classifications are made based on the available commercial supply of the ingredient, and are made based on the criteria on our classifications page.

Commercially available fragrance may be vegan depending on the source and may be vegetarian depending on the source.

Fragrance is a vague term which is allowed by the FDA to not force a company to reveal "trade secrets". Although it is likely to be vegan and vegetarian, there doesn't appear to be any limitation on what ingredients may be used for a fragrance and so they may contain animal products.
