Hibiscus style natural perfumes

Natural Ingredient - Hibiscus

Hibiscus, with its vibrant and showy blossoms, captivates with its tropical allure. Its striking petals and bold colours make it a standout flower in any garden or floral arrangement.

It’s the hibiscus seeds that are used in perfume (known as ambrette seeds).

They bring a natural musk scent to the fragrance.

We love nature not just in our fragrances we wear, but also in our everyday life. We are inspired by raw, pure ingredients and how we can play with them. So this month we played with hibiscus...

Aura-Soma 56

A violet scent wrapped in notes of musk, warm Sandalwood, Amber and Nutmeg as a refreshing contrast. Designed for those that want to be seen.

The pale violet over the pale violet is called St Germain. It is a very beautiful combination, designed to help those who find it difficult to be seen, even if they have amazing qualities or gifts. It helps them to come out and be themselves.

Violet stands for loyalty, truthfulness and the sensitive thinker. The perfumers have wrapped this predominantly deep purple flower in notes of Musk, warm Sandalwood, Amber and added the high strung, almost metallic Nutmeg as a top note, as a refreshing contrast.
