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 no. 2 + our orange blossom butter.
Exuberant top notes of fresh ginger and citrus lead into a pairing that highlights the exquisite beauty of white flowers, with the bright florality of neroli and ylang ylang in the butter mingling with the intensity of the tuberose in the perfume. As the pairing evolves, the luxurious richness of the coconut pulp essence in the butter blends beautifully with the ambrette seed, a botanical musk, and the sandalwood of the perfume. A perfect combination to lift the spirits as the days grow shorter.
The set makes a lovely gift, and comes wrapped beautifully in a linen drawstring bag.
