December is Natural Perfume Month

The fact that yesterday I reviewed the resinous spicy festive season perfume that is Fκte d'Hiver by natural perfumer Ayala Moriel was totally concidental in relation to the news I received just a few hours before. (time zones can do that to you!) The choice to review it had to do with the aroma alone, as it conjured up December to me perfectly.
Imagine then my amazement that the Artisan Natural Perfumers' Guild has has named December Natural Perfume Month in recognition of the growing interest in natural fragrances. "The first naturally-perfumed gifts associated with the month of December were those given in Bethlehem of frankincense and myrrh. Those fragrant tree resins are found in many natural perfumes today. During this month, ancient traditions called for a fragrant conifer tree, wreaths and boughs decorating the home. Today, the wonderful aroma of cooking with sweet spices like cinnamon and clove adds to the ambiance, creating a truly festive atmosphere."

In celebration of this you can browse the Natural Perfumery portal to really get to know what all this is about.

You can also contact the President of the Guild,Anya mc Coy at her new, refurbished site Anya's garden.

I feel honoured and joyful to be part of what seems to be a great new direction in perfume's brave new world.

You’re very welcome Anya. I’m an equal opportunity perfumista I guess
Really, people should always delve into the lines and then judge for themselves.

Warm regards!
