The world of perfumery was shocked with the carnal and overpowering scent of tuberose flowers when they migrated from Mexico across the continents and oceans. Lock up your daughters! As an ethnobotanist and perfumer, I take the artistic license to call it the bad boy of flowers. Of all the “narcotic” fragrant white flowers, such as jasmine and gardenia, tuberose is the only one given the power to make girls lose their inhibitions. Perhaps there is some pheromone in the flower that is unidentified? I think research needs to be done to try to confirm or deny what makes tuberose so different, so seductive. Perhaps 21st century young girls don’t swoon and lose inhibitions as they did in the past when smelling this narcotic flower at night, but its reputation is still sexy. In all my research over the years, I have never seen a flower given such incredible powers in aiding seduction.

Golden Boronia is a flower absolute only produced in Tasmania, off the southeast coast of Australia. Airy, ethereal, and intensely floral, the fragrance reminds many of freesia or champaca flowers. It also has fruity, tea-like and green notes. Used in the finest perfumes, this rare and enticing absolute is only produced once a year.

Golden Oud is a woody/citrusy exciting perfume for the person who wants a unique signature scent.

Winner - Best New Perfume 2010  Kewda flower honors the iconic heroine Kudra of the book Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins with an Indian top note of Kewda flower, a floral heart of Gardenia and Golden Boronia, and then the musk hits.

Madagascar Vanilla Absolute is a luscious, rich vintage vanilla absolute, circa 2005. From a pioneer French company, this was made in the VOP (Very Old Process), unique to Madagascar. Instead of petroleum solvents like hexame, the solvent is organic sugarcane alcohol also processed on Madagascar. It is slightly more fluid than the more common pasty or viscuous vanilla absolutes, but has all of the fragrance and properties to make beautiful perfume. I have provided this to my students in a 10% dilution for their studies since 2007

Winner Best Best New Perfume 2011 -  Fit for a king or queen. Royal Lotus has a sparkling citrus top, a heart of the rarest, most costly aromatics such as blue and pink lotus, night blooming jasmine, and a soft, velvety base of sandalwood, ambergris and tonka bean. The richness of flowers wins hearts over the coldness of jewels.

NOTE:  4ml bottles are SOLD OUT! A gourmand homage to Mexico, built around three botanicals native to that country: vanilla, chocolate, and tuberose. Deeply sexy and alluring. Has been called "an orgy in a bottle".
