Botanical perfume has a magic to it that simply can’t be replicated in a laboratory. Real plant oils and essences are intense, complex and ephemeral, interacting in unique ways with the chemistry of our own bodies to create an evolving, intimate experience. Botanical perfume is alive. 

I’m constantly experimenting with ways to deepen and extend the experience of wearing botanical fragrance, and I’m delighted to introduce these curated pairings of our perfumes and our butters to offer you a more immersive scent experience. 

Botanical scent tends to last longer on well moisturized skin, so pairing and layering a botanical perfume with its complimentary nourishing butter is the perfect way to extend the life of your scent, while also ensuring that skin stays hydrated, particularly going into the cooler months ahead here in the northern hemisphere.

This pairing features our botanical perfume ‘the rains’ & our cardamom butter.

By turns richly resinous and brightly spicy, cardamom curls through every layer of this delicious pairing. It mingles with precious Mitti attar, the manifestation, in essence form, of the magical scent of dry earth just after a rainstorm. With base notes of earthy fossilized amber, warm sandalwood and a touch of rich vanilla, this combination manages to both ground and transport, making it seem possible to feel at home wherever you are. 

The set makes a lovely gift, and comes wrapped beautifully in a linen drawstring bag.

the rains botanical perfume
from $8.00

A botanical scent formulated with only three exquisite essences, cardamom absolute, mitti attar and a rare distillation of fossilized amber, each richly complex in its own right. Mitti attar is still made in the traditional manner in Kannauj, India, where earthen clay is distilled into precious Sandalwood oil to honor the return of the rainy season. A gentle curtain of spice gives way to the rich scent of dry earth after a rain, and the primordial minerality of fossilized amber.

All Marble & Milkweed scents are made entirely from precious natural botanical oils, resins, concretes and absolutes, no synthetics are used. Our fragrances are earthy and spicy; they bloom and evolve upon contact with the warmth of the skin. The base of organic jojoba oil in our perfume serum and balm feels like nectar and nourishes the skin wherever it is worn. A base of organic grape alcohol is used in our perfume extraits, which arrive in a light-protective violet glass atomizer bottle in 5g, 10g or 15g sizes.

Choosing a fragrance is a highly personal matter! We recommend trying a small sample before committing to a full-sized perfume.

Each glass roll-on bottle has a glass roller-ball and contains 5 grams or 10 grams of botanical fragrance.

Each glass twist-top pot contains 5g solid perfume balm in a local beeswax base.

Our botanical perfumes arrive carefully packaged in a cotton drawstring tassel bag with a beautiful letterpress tag and a card describing the fragrance notes of your chosen scent.

ingredients: cardamom absolute, mitti attar, fossilized amber

As always, please consult your doctor about using any product containing essential oils if you are pregnant or nursing.
