In January a list of ingredients and notes was posted here at the journal to explain the distinction between the word "note" in a perfume vs "ingredient". The list also serves those inquiring what is contained within each Illuminated Perfume. The entry is called As Noted and can be located here at this link.
Today's entry is the second part of the original post, illuminating the notes in first and second tier of the Chocolate Solid Natural Perfume series.
Let's begin with the natural base materials:
- Golden Jojoba Seed Oil.
- Organic, unfiltered Beeswax.
- Cocoa Butter.
- Cocoa Powder.
- Theobroma cacao extract from South America.
- Essential Oils, Absolutes, Concretes and C02 extracts primarily from plant matter. The only essences that are not from plants are: Beeswax, Honey, Seashells and Seaweed. I utilize "whole" essences in keeping with the concept of Gaia and Holistic Aromatherapy.
- My own plant infusions.
What I do not use:
- No animal ingredients, nor do I test on animals.
- No isolates, as stated above I only use "whole" essence.
- No synthetic fragrances.
- No petrochemicals.
- No parabens.
- No phthalates.
- No artificial colors.
For the aromatic component of each of the Chocolate perfumes I created an accord of essential oils, Co2 extracts and absolutes. A soliflore, meaning one flower in French, is a term used to describe a composed perfume dominated by one single flower, such as Gardenia or Jasmine. These chocolate perfumes are like more a soliflore in that they celebrate one note, but, the main note of chocolate is also combined with other notes such as Rose, Orange, etc.
