Floracopeia Rose & Vetiver Attar

Has anyone ever tried anything from Floracopeia? Their Rose & Vetiver Attar caught my eye: "This earthy, sensual and floral attar is created by infusing a cold water filtered extract of Edward rose into a base of vetiver oil.

Although these two oils are both complex and worlds apart, together they become an unexpected elixir that evokes dreams and joie de vivre. Our organic Rose and Vetiver Attar is produced using no heat and no sandalwood oil. Unlike synthetic perfumes which sit on the skin and mask the body's natural scent, this attar acts as food for your skin, becoming part of your personal, unique fragrance." $50 for 5 ml at Floracopeia.

Arizona Muse for Chanel Spring Summer 2017

Happy Almost-Friday and happy World Lion Day! What fragrance are you wearing?

I went with Chanel Sycomore — its “aristocratic simplicity” will be perfect for my day of menial chores.
