Fragrance-free means no perfume in the ingredient list. On a label perfume shows up as Parfum or Fragrance, as essential oils, and often as named allergens like Limonene and Linalool that brands have to declare in the EU.

No, Nivea Soft is not fragrance-free. It lists Parfum and 3 fragrance allergens.
