“Like a sun drenched bathroom on a late summer day, complete with golden threadbare towels. A dusty yet well loved walnut armoire in the corner, top drawer brimming with the treasures of distant travels.”

Fragrance is among the most intimate of our beauty rituals. Whether a scent expresses something about our nature – or perhaps helps us aspire to who we want to embody – perfume is undoubtedly powerful.

Once found, the mythical “signature” fragrance can become a sacred component of our personal style. While often this choice evolves along with us as we move through the cycles of life, certain perfumes are inherently timeless.

About the Scent

The musky amber resin-infused base evokes this magical result by combining frankincense, myrrh and vanilla. Labdanum, an ancient herbal medicine resin, helps anchor the scent for a longer lasting effect than many other natural perfumes I have tried. While the initial spice is quite potent, it pleasantly fades into a lighter version over the course of a few hours.

The beauty of natural perfume – made without petrochemical based fragrance that offers a stable and consistent effect – lies in its ability to interact with our essence igniting in each wearer a subtly unique scent. Hence the name – Torch.

I usually can’t wait to buy a different scent once I finish a bottle of perfume. Torch is the exception to this rule. In all honesty I see myself wearing this gorgeous blend for years to come as a baseline to other slightly more exotic options.
