My inspiration for this perfume is the Flame Of The Forest, a tree I remember fondly from my childhood in India. It is a tall tree, standing prominently, dominating other trees in a landscape. Sometime around February, it blooms with brilliant orange flowers.
I have a strong memory of walking barefoot under this tree. All around my feet, the ground was covered with orange, velvety petals. I could barely see the soil. I gathered armfuls of wilted blooms and put them in my frock. At the end of the day, my hands were stained bright orange. Flame Of The Forest perfume captures the dry, brown wood of the branch, the smoke and flame this name conjures, and the raw feel of the bare branches. A shock of spice highlights the bright presence of this tree.
Inspiration: I wrote a blog post about what goes behind my inspirations and how and why this perfume was born.
FAQs:
I embrace both synthetic and natural materials. Blending them gives me more freedom to express my vision and achieve the right balance and harmony. Since I do not use animal-derived materials, synthetics allow me to create faithful re-constitutions to achieve the desired effect without harming animal life.
Yes, all my perfumes are vegan. I do not use animal-derived materials in my perfumes. Musk, ambergris, civet, castoreum, honey, hyraceum, and beeswax were once considered precious and indispensable in perfumery. Fortunately, with advances in science and technology, they can now be synthesized in a lab. I exclusively use these synthetically reconstituted mixtures in my perfumes to achieve the desired effect.
Like all fragrances, my perfumes contain allergens. I list the IFRA-referenced allergens in all my perfumes.
In 2022, the U.S. FDA passed a law, abbreviated as MoCRA, which mandates that all perfumes sold in the U.S. must list fragrance allergens on their product labels. I use the European standard called IFRA as my basis to calculate the allergens in my perfumes.
Please do test on paper before applying the perfume to your skin. I have listed some additional safety guidelines in the Terms of Service on this website as well.
Not yet! I’m touched and delighted when I get asked this question. However, my artisanal endeavor is still quite small, and international shipping is complex. For the time being, I plan to ship only within the United States.
