perfumes?

[bublitschki]

hello everyone!

so i searched through the tags but i couldn't find much aside from odor removal. i'm searching for natural perfumes! my cousin used to own a natural food store in brooklyn and she sold this FABULOUS all-natural perfume that was full of spicy, clove-y goodness. if you could recommend anything similar, please let me know!

thanks :)

I have numerous products in the mediterranean fig scent and I think it's just about the best thing I've ever smelled. I like most of their other scents too.

BPAL has lots of options that meet that description

And they send you lots of little freebies when you order!

Agreed! I LOVE some of their scents. I never buy from the main site though, much more fun (and way cheaper/faster) in my opinion to buy an imp (sample) lot from sellers on bpalmarketplace or somewhere similar. I just got 25 full imps for $20 from someone on there, I'm not sure how that many would have cost if I ordered through the website. If you're not sure about a certain oil, Google the name of the scent and check it out on the review forum. Its much more fun to rotate your daily scent, the imps will last you awhile too :) Have fun.

I've heard great things about Roxana perfumes over on Etsy...however they are hella expensive. www.etsy.com/shop/illuminatedperfume

Sonoma Scent Studio has some lovely scents, check out their FAQ to see if their level of naturalness suits your expectations: www.sonomascentstudio.com/faq.shtml

You can check out this site for some other brand ideas, and/or ask in their forums: www.fragrantica.com/news/Natural-Perfumes/

Oh and Auric Blends has a natural line, but I haven't sniffed any of them yet: www.auricblends.com/pages/naturals_product.html

I've also heard this house recommended, but haven't sniffed for myself yet: aperfumeorganic.com

I only hesitate to mention this house because he doesn't list any info on his site regarding naturalness...but I've sniffed many of his perfumes and they smell so natural I would be surprised if they weren't. This guy is so talented, everything I've smelled by him has been wonderful. Would be worth using the contact form to get some more info: http://www.neilmorrisfragrances.com/contact.html

Auric Blends -- decent quality, inexpensive, wide range of scents, relatively easy to find.

A relative unknown I think; I've only recently discovered these (and I'm a huge perfume hound!) -- Ramakrishnananda attars.
Warning: these are *incredibly* strong, like Indian incense. I happen to love that, but if you're looking for "light" or "fresh" scents these are not the way to go.

LUSH has a line by Gorilla Perfumes. I haven't tried them...yet. But I've been wanting to!

Pacifica (mentioned above) is good but be prepared to layer; I've found that on my skin at least, they don't last long at all.

BPAL (mentioned above) is great but the site is so overwhelming (I know some people find this fun but I think it's sloppy marketing), and the shipping takes a while too, if I recall. They do, however, sell "imps," which are samples -- a great way to go! Or check out the swap forums.

Happy smelling! :)
