Eau Natural
Eau Natural
Natural fragrances, once a paltry bunch of earthy oils, have grown in both number and sophistication.... These five perfumes are 100% natural and 100% fabulous.
Excerpts from a fragrance editorial by Angelique Serrano, Eau Natural.
Aftelier Honey Blossom
This whisper-soft floral blend of rose and honey clings to the skin.
"Honey Blossom - Beautiful honeyed floral, hypnotic with notes of honeysuckle. If there were a flower that smelled like honey, this would be it." (Shop: 0.25oz, $150, aftelier.com)
Organic Glam Jasmine
Close your eyes and take a deep breath, and you'd swear you were surrounded by blooming jasmine.
"Organic Glam Jasmine - Captures the luscious fragrance of Jasmine blooms in spring and summer. The uplifting scent reminiscent of warm moonlit walks and Mediterranean nights when Jasmine becomes its most potent. This intoxicating and sophisticated scent begins with the heady florals of Egyptian Jasmine and Ylang Ylang with an unexpected twist of Sicillain Bergamot and sensual Sandalwood."
