I started making natural perfume after reading Mandy Aftel's book Essence and Alchemy: A Natural History of Perfume, which is one of the best books on Natural Perfumery out there. I was inspired. I fell in love with it. Natural Perfumery is an art; an alchemical and sensory experience like no other. The creation of a natural perfume evolves, it takes you on a journey, so that you never know what the end result will be. It's a meditation, a dream.

There are less ethereal reasons why I got into Natural Perfumery. Commercial perfumes are full of toxic chemicals, like phthalates, which are solvents that extend the staying power of perfume. They have been shown to harm the liver, kidneys, and lungs, along with the reproductive system. They are easily absorbed through the skin. Commercial perfumes also have synthetic fragrance oils rather than pure essential oils; fragrance oils just smell lousy to me, overbearing and chemically. I love pure essential oils and I search far and wide to find the most beautiful rose, jasmine, bergamot, etc.

Now when I smell commercial, mass-market perfumes, I am overpowered and I get headaches. Natural perfume is never overpowering, it lasts as long as it lasts, two hours or so. It develops on the skin from top notes to base notes. If you want it to last longer, you reapply it.

I love every aspect of making natural perfume. It is a transcendent experience that takes me out of myself into a world of sensory discovery.

Clairvoyant, our wild-crafted natural fragrance, invites you to see beyond the range of ordinary perception and celebrates the mystery of being a woman. Crisp floral-green top notes of bergamot and lime leads you into an exploration. Bulgarian rose middle notes blend with jasmine and ylang ylang to relax the senses and enhance your own natural harmony and beauty. Warm, lush, inviting base notes of tobacco, fir and green cognac suggest a subtle sexiness…the mystery and possibility of being a Clairvoyant woman.

Because it all natural and organic, with none of the chemical (and very toxic) extenders, like phthalates, that commercial fragrances use, it is designed to be layered to achieve the level of scent desired – or used with other fragrances within a woman’s scent wardrobe. This pure fragrance features a 100 percent natural formulation down its base of organic corn alcohol.
