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).

The 2000 year history of Tiare Tahiti

January 1, 2018

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.

Beautiful scent

Smells exactly like Tiare flowers on the bush!
Wears well with my body chemistry, the perfect amount of scent. Not over powering but I can still smell the following day.
Very happy with my purchases and cursotmer service. I ordered several scents and one of my roller balls was damaged. Within the hour I received a message back with the problem solved. I will absolutely return to this company!

Quite Strong

I'm on the fence about this one. It's very strong and sweet. I do enjoy it better after its been sitting on the skin for a while.

Very Nice

I bought the gourmand smell set and this is by far my favorite of them. The vanilla and amber are ok. This one is just so lovely. reminds me of a summer day, it's warm and complex. The smell lingers for a while. I will definitely purchase this one again.

It's OK

When you first roll it on it smells very chemically. My husband said- it smells like restroom cleaner. After rubbing into the skin, it becomes a warm vanilla smell. I was trying to find a more affordable dupe of Nest's Madagascar Vanilla. This is not it, but it is ok. Still on the fence if I would purchase again.

Wonderful product

I recently purchased Tanka Samba oil and I'm glad I did. The scent is very soothing for me. I'd rather put an essential oil on my skin vs. a chemical filled, fake scent. I chose to purchase a full size product after receiving a sample with my first order. There is a sample size of 5 scents you can buy to try. I purchased that, ($10) so that I could explore other scents. Overall, I give this business an excellent rating because of the quality of products, customer service, shipping speed and overall great experience.
