Fragrant Thoughts

Iris materials in perfumery come entirely from the roots of the plant, a process that takes 7 YEARS to complete.  Yes, 7 years. 

All of our fragrance oils are IFRA 49th Amendment compliant.  What does that mean and why is it important?!?

In the fragrance world, especially naturals, citrus is typically the 'low-hanging fruit' (pardon the pun).  Here's why.

Many (most) fine fragrances today are marketed and sold with the idea that they are for either a man or woman.

The roses used in fragrance look and smell nothing like the ones we give on Valentine's day.  

In the fragrance industry, the universe is clearly divided into two distinct worlds.  

In fragrance, the term 'natural' is extremely vague and would be akin to describing a picture as 'pretty' or a meal as 'healthy'.  

We all love the smell of clean clothes, but few people know how these smells are engineered.

Muguet, or lily of the valley, is one of the most beloved smells in fragrance.  Sadly, this flower cannot be used for extraction.
