Botanical Solid Perfume in sustainable wooden pot PURE LEGEND

New Zealand's own Pacific Perfumes is one of only a handful of perfume houses in the world that create complex and evocative fragrances entirely from natural ingredients.

The rare art of natural perfumery is gaining a dedicated following among perfume fans globally. You may wear natural fragrances because of sensitivities to synthetic ingredients, or simply love to indulge in their special luxury, purity and sensuousness.

On the skin, a natural perfume changes over time and surprises you. It melds with your body chemistry, becoming a gorgeous fragrance all your own.

Each perfume comes in a beautiful wooden (sustainable Beech) pot containing 10mls of handmade fragrance.

PURE LEGEND is a smoldering, earthy scent whose soul billows with smoky Vetiver and intriguing heart florals of Wild Rose. Brushed with voluptuous Labdanum and Amyris to soften and sweeten. A touch of Patchouli gives way to a lingering memory of an ocean scent. The spirit here is opulent, luxurious and richly textured.The big outdoors, hiking and sailing! I would recommend this for people who love Vetiver and woody, dry perfumes. Its a big scent, not for the faint hearted. Also recommended for working well with the masculine set, quite butch!
CERTIFIED CRUELTY FREE.

THE OTHER PERFUMES IN THE ARTISAN RANGE ARE:

THE WILD GODDESS

A sensually elegant fragrance, voluptuously evocative of rare botanicals and untamed imagination. This fragrance has a sinuous weaving of Frankincense and Cedarwood, and an arousing edginess of Tobacco Leaf. Undertones of Ylang Ylang and Benzoin reflect a serenity and strength, and a secret symphony casts a soft luminous finale.Divinely wild at heart, not too loud but very striking! If anything about a Wild Goddess resonates then this is it!



SIMPLY PARADISE

Inspired by the very essence of summer, as mellow and addictive as sunshine, fresh yet sweet like the Cocoa it languishes in. Heavenly aromas of Amber, essence of Guaiacwood and rich, subtle Sweet Orange harmonise in delicate leathery & fruity undertones. This celebration continues with mythical Frankincense and Peru Balsam, caressed by a just a hint of Vanilla. This one is easy to wear, the lightest of the range, the prettiest, good for a gift and young at heart.

Artisan Perfumery is a special skill. The Artisan range blends botanical essences of flower, wood, fruits and resin, creating unique fragrances that evolve and transform on the wearer over time. Performing differently than fragrances of synthetic origin, they blossom on the skin and marry with your own unique scent. Over several hours each ingredient shares a moment on the wearer, capturing imagination, emotion and memory.

Never tested on animals and ingredients are all from the plant world.

PACKAGING

Our whole-earth packaging is made from renewable and recyclable sources, making minimal impact on the environment.Each box contains a sustainable Beech push-out stand up Nikau tree (see photo).A gift enclosing your beautiful wooden pot of gorgeous perfume!

We were searching for someone to create our packaging who had untainted, unbound and unlimited passion, with a good dose of imagination thrown in. The idea of a designer with fresh ideas appealed to us and we approached the School of Design in our home city of Wellington. Receptive and excited by the idea, Tutor Tulia Moss took the concept to her packaging design class who quite simply ’ran with it’ and a fast and furious competition was launched with the brief: 100% sustainable! We were blown away by the talent and compelling concepts that were presented by these designers of the future.The resulting packaging was designed by Packaging Design student Mike Peters.

Elegant yet simple in design, our wooden pots are compact, transportable and beautiful to touch. A clever snap-to system carved in the wood keeps the lid secure. As we do not support the logging of New Zealand native timber, we searched for some time to find an eco-friendly alternative. Sustainable Beech is the perfect solution. Sourced from certified sustainable New Zealand forests a new tree is planted for every one that is logged.
