Scentsandthecitylondon: Perfumes and candles are made from plant-derived materials, natural isolates, essential oils and organic grain alcohol
@prosodylondon perfumes and candles are made from plant-derived materials, natural isolates, essential oils and organic grain alcohol. Although the entire line is 100% natural with a high percentage of organic ingredients, these are no mere ‘passable’ concoctions but could easily hold their own against many of the bolshy, synthetic-heavy scents on the market. This is a credit to the skills of founder and perfumer Keshen Teo, who - enlisting the guidance of natural perfume expert Mandy Aftel - created his own compounding lab where he oversaw the entire range, working with technicians to create a range of natural scents with sufficient longevity and complexity to rival their synthetic counterparts. ***
The fragrance I’m currently wearing, Jacinth Jonquil packs a heady floral punch of bluebells and hyacinths, while Rose Rondeaux is as nuzzle-some as any rose scent I’ve encountered, with a bright raspberry accord ‘lifting’ everything and basically doing the job an aldehyde otherwise would. There’s the inevitable oud scent in the form of Oud Octavo, but this dreamy, melodic concoction is a world away from the type of ‘knock-you-for-six’ scents you might normally encounter. The candles are made from a blend of coconut, carnauba and beeswax (so not suitable for vegans sadly) with promising names such as Pleasance Pepper, Apricot Ardour and Whisky Wisteria - the latter of which is inspired by the jazz age, with opulent notes of jasmine and juniper one can imagine Gatsby himself scenting his parties with it (or dinner parties for a handful of people in Zone 4 if that’s all your budget can muster).
