You will never find synthetics or "fragrances" in any of my products. Only natural flowers, leaves, seeds, barks, etc, and an occasional drop of essential oil. Natural products smell the best, and our bodies will thank us for avoiding the chemicals.
We live in a world saturated with scent. Our air fresheners, laundry detergents, cosmetics, body products, and even most perfumes are infused with synthetic fragrance compounds designed to imitate nature.
But these ingredients are not only far removed from the living world, but many of them are also harmful to ecosystems and toxic to our bodies.
It’s no surprise that so many of us are feeling the pull back to our roots, toward scent as nature intended.
There’s something about natural perfumery that reaches us beyond words. It’s not just the fragrance, but the emotional and energetic effect it carries. Natural perfumes are made up of the same essential oils traditionally used in aromatherapy for their uplifting and stress-soothing qualities – which can shape our psyche in subtle but deeply meaningful ways.
Still, a persistent myth lingers in the perfumery world: that natural perfumes can’t compete. That they’re too unpredictable, too soft, too fleeting—that they won’t project or last beyond an hour. And this can be true… when a perfume is built without structure or foundation.
