GREENER BEAUTY: Fragrances-Scents Modern Mom Gifts

Curiously, even though fragrances, colognes and perfumes sell a-ok worldwide...imo-in this country (USA)...wearing fragrance seems to viewed more as a special night out splurge (or spritz) vs using everyday by habit, with freshening up dabs every few  hours...especially, it seems -by the much desired millennial consumer group.

Given-some of the fantastical packaging by bigger companies- is the sole reason for the scent purchase ...and the 'bottle' just sits on shelves and tabletops...never to be opened-just eye-balled.

Which is why these intriguingly complex scents, more modestly bottled- might change the actual usage rate- for more sophisticated scent dabblers.

Highlights:

In fragrance or body oil formats...using expensive natural essential oils yields a much more multi-level aromatic 'experience' and a modern one too.

 Fyi-use less because these fragrances aren't disappearing in some chemical cloud.

Strange Invisible -no the fragrance name of this spectacular Reserve Series scent-The Rose With The Broken Nest ($425)- not a marketing gimmick ---but as inspiration---capturing the fire and fragility of the human heart.

Interesting.
