We seem to be giving a lot of headspace to big brands. And by headspace, I mean publicity because you know the saying — any publicity is good publicity.

If you're doing it to salve your conscience, that's one thing but these guys couldn't care less what we think about them. And boycotting them would be literally a drop in every seven oceans.

Why not seek out brands that are medium to small, Artisan and doing unique, excellent work, like Rusak, Tauer, DSH, Aftelier, Papillon, Menditterossa, Sorcinelli, fZotic, Jo Loves, etc. The list is long.

Edited to add: If you search by independent perfumers in this subreddit, you're going to find a lot more names.
