VERA Anniversary Celebration 2015


In mid June of 2007 with the help of my friend and graphic designer Terese Harris I launched the website, blog and Vera on the morning of the Ojai Lavender Festival. In honor of that blessed day, lavender and the fabulous journey, here is an anniversary celebration with something for everyone.


The first part of the celebration is a free sample of the Vera natural solid in any order of $25 or over (not including tax or shipping). This is in addition to any other free sample that may be part of your order. To get the sample please include a note with your order upon checkout either via Etsy or my website.


For the second part of the festivities I will be giving away Vera perfume related gifts to four lucky winners. If you are one of the lucky winners you can choose from these two prizes:

- Vera liquid in glass vial, 1 gram by weight
- Vera mini compact solid perfume


- The grand prize is a Vera solid perfume round compact, valued at $195, this prize will go to the most beautiful Pin Board creation, see #1 below.

There are several ways to enter:

(1) PIN BOARD
- Create a board on Pinterest that either evokes the essence of Vera.
- Feel free to use any imagery from the website, this journal, Greg's site, etc. I've started a Vera Pin Board that you can use for reference here. Submit your beautiful creation, or creations, via e-mail (roxana at illuminatedperfume.com) with a link to your board by June 27th 12pm PST.

I love the smell of orange blossoms when the orange groves around me in California are in bloom

Illuminated Perfume said...

Mmmmm, orange blossoms are the best...especially in Ojai with the added notes of sage and other California natives!

Francesca Lancisi said...

Congrats for your gorgeous work, wishing you the very best of luck for many years coming!

I'd love Lemon flowers!

I wish I could come to the lavender festival, it seems such a beautiful event and the scent must be angelic.

Here in the Netherlands the elder blossoms are coming to an end. There is something so stimulating and simultaneously soothing about their scent, it is like coming home to your Mother. I have dried some, and I have put some to infuse in apple cider vinegar - but I would dearly love to carry their scent with me throughout the year, so that is a perfume I dream of...

What a lovely and generous giveaway! I'd love to see something highlighting frankincense. <3

Margaret said...

I follow you on Istagram and vist the journal often!

Illuminated Perfume said...

Hello beautiful ladies!

@Francesca Mmmm, lemon flowers! My honey bees love those.

@Iris Oh yes, I love elder flowers too. I have the California native variety all around me here in the woodland. I'm so curious if it has the same scent as the variety in your area.

Thank you @Margaret <3

Thank you @poetryinleaves, I'm said you missed it too. Stay tuned for another one soon, especially now that I've seen what works best.

I picked some of the last flowers today and put them to infuse in honey. There is nothing like it. Fortunately the linden trees are about to flower next and that is another heavenly scent...
