Soliflores: A Return to Restful Symplicity

September 6, 2019

Soliflores, or single note fragrances, were all the rage during the 19th century. Back then, most fragrances could be classified into 7 olfactory families. But by 1945, due to advances in perfumery compound design, modern perfumery took over with vague, mood-centric compositions like Jicky by Guerlain (1889) and Chanel No. 5 (1921).

Simple and elegant, Tiare flowers are used to make leis, flower headdresses, and fragrant spa treatments. But the history of this dainty little flower can be traced back over 2000 years when it was used in an ancient beauty secret.

Fragrances weaker?

I love H&R oils, and will continue to buy them. I've found the blend of fragrance oils that make a signature scent both me and those around me enjoy. However. I've noticed with the last couple orders that the fragrances are noticeably weaker, especially Egyptian musk. Not a deal-breaker for me, but hopefully it doesn't continue.

My Absolute Favorite!

I am OBSESSED with this perfume. I bought it for the first time at Blue Genie Art Bazaar in Austin in like... 2015? 2016? And it's been my perfume ever since. I won't be buying any other perfume until they stop releasing this one or I die lol. The roller ball application is convenient and it lasts an impressively long time (I only have to apply in the morning and it lasts all day). It's perfectly citrusy without being overpowering, and the green tea gives it a more sophisticated twist (I find a lot of citrus perfumes are too candy-like and make me smell like a high schooler). It's totally unique and I get compliments on it all the time! Definitely recommend.

Very nice

Very nice. Would like to see more of your scents available in spray bottles.

Love It!!!

I love the smell of Celt. So clean and fresh. Especially since my dad was born in Scotland, I feel it was made for me!!!

My very Favorite from herb and root!

Love, love the Wanderlust fragrance! I wear it every day. Has a calming effect for me. Very earthy.
