about

Perfumes must be savoured like a good book…

I do not follow common perfumery trends. There are many nice natural perfumes these days but I want to revive the ritual and beauty of pure perfumes which can be used in small French flacons. Artisan fragrances are made to stand out.

You do not have to be a purist to wear botanical perfumes. But if you are tired of mass market synthetic perfumes, smelling an all natural fragrance can be an elopement to a whole new world of perfumery.

bestseller: Eco-Luxe Ltd Edition of Villanelle Extrait de Parfum

The highly concentrated parfum comes in a beautiful French flacon of 30ml, a black presentation box both of which can be re-used and recycled and a set of three full samples of your choice.

It is the fragrance of footsteps in a spring forest, the breath of wind among the trees, the smell of soil and moss and the hidden obscure treasures of earth.

The fragrance opens up with spicy marjoram and fresh bergamot, flows smoothly into the heart notes of lavender, tangy green blackcurrant, clary sage and has a deep resinous drydown of vetiver, oakmoss, precious muskroot and sacred resins. 

new: vers libre cologne concentrate ltd edition

Vers Libre Cologne is a unisex fragrance and equals to Eau de Toilette in its concentration of 12%. At this moment it is a limited edition perfume and is a result of my creative experimentation. Being born in France free verse or vers libre inspired me for a free style eau de cologne which could be worn both by men and women.
The cologne is reimagined in the unique blend of creamy apricot, peach, tagete, bitter floral petitgrain sur fleurs, powdery ginger, fresh manuka and amber like labdanum.

How to Use French Flacons

Flacons are very rare these days and unfortunately people are slowly forgetting the pleasure of slow perfume. Doing things on the go and having disposable things are signs of our hectic society. Why not try the old conventional method of applying perfume? Extraits will last for years as well as the flacons.

Zero Waste Natural Perfumes

Is it possible to use natural perfumes and produce as less waste as possible? What can be and what can`t be recycled if we speak about natural fragrances and their packaging? How much waste is really produced during the hand made process of perfume making?

What Is Slow Perfume?

As I was learning natural perfumery and skin care a few years ago, I stumbled upon many other different definitions related not only to beauty products but also to certain lifestyles. Minimalism, slow living and zero waste were among them. And although they are meant to teach us to improve and change our lives, there is one thing in common they have: they teach us to change the world around us too.

Myths About Natural Perfumes

I have heard and read so many myths about natural and botanical (vegan) perfumes that I thought it is time to choose the most interesting ones and bust them. If you know any myths about natural perfumes, I would love to hear them. I will do my best to update the list.

Villanelle Perfume

A few weeks ago I noticed an unusual activity on my website, one of my perfumes got a lot of attention and was googled again and again. Then people started buying the same sample, then some even bought Extrait de Parfum or Eau de Parfum without even trying samples. What was going on? It was Villanelle, a perfume created and released by me in March 2018. 

Why Dabbing on Perfumes is a Beautiful Ritual

There is something enchanting in a ritual of dabbing perfume, applying it directly on your skin without using a spray pump. Small flacons remind us of vintage perfumes made long time ago, perhaps, when our grandmothers kept their precious French perfumes in drawers.

What is Extrait de Parfum?

Extrait de parfum (pure perfume, perfume, parfum, parfum extrait or simply extract) is the most concentrated and most expensive form of perfumes and is usually between 20 and 40% of oil concentration. You need only a couple of drops for each application. And this makes them very unique because they are in fact more versatile than eaux de parfum.

How to Choose Your Perfume

To choose a perfume you will love is not only about understanding the perfumery basics but knowing that natural ingredients act in a completely different way, are created, tested and worn using other methods.

How to Wear Botanical Perfumes

Natural perfumes do not last as long as synthetic ones because they do not contain artificial fixatives. Their sillage is not that strong thus they remain closer to your skin. They do not irritate your nose for many hours but slowly unfold not by note from their top to base notes.
