vintage perfume vial - handpainted roses

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. 1 & our jasmine + cardamom butter.

Flowers and spice, forever. Bright, floral top and middle notes of cardamom and jasmine gently give way to a rich, sultry vanilla and sandalwood finish. A warm and sensuous pairing.

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

All Marble & Milkweed products are made by hand and with love, in New York City!

A sampler of our eight botanical perfume serums + a printed voucher for a full-sized botanical fragrance (serum or balm) of choice, to be redeemed in a subsequent order. Makes a beautiful gift, allowing the recipient to explore all eight scents before choosing one.

Perfume serum no. 2 is a voluptuous blend of tuberose, saffron and wild sweet orange, complemented by neroli, sandalwood and ginger, and supported by vanilla and a gentle dab of botanical musk. Rich and evocative, our no. 2 fragrance is inspired by dreams of palace gardens at dusk and the heady and magical scent in the souk where the flower-seller stands next to the spice merchant. The base of organic jojoba oil feels like nectar and nourishes the skin wherever it is worn.

heart: tuberose, neroli

base: ambrette seed, sandalwood, vanilla
