Lyra Botanical Solid Perfume

Description

PURE, BOTANICAL SOLID PERFUME

"A rich, full-bodied, sweetly tinged amber, floral fragrance that evokes the essence of Fall with its warm sensuality. Through a veil of tropical flowers, the amber and somewhat licorice tinted base glows leaving a dry down trail of light citrus so as not to allow the amber to overpower." and "The glowing amber floral fragrance exudes an ethereal waft of a bonfire note arising then transitioning in a light citrusy orange drink at the end of my sensory-awakening tramp in the cool, late October forest."
~ Victoria Austin, Sniffapalooza Magazine

The inspiration for Lyra began with a custom perfume created for my daughter Eve (Evangeline). Since I do not replicate custom perfume formulas, I swapped out some essences in the top, middle and base and added new ones.

The tropical headiness of this perfume lies in the melding of Jasmine and Ylang Ylang at the heart. Both these essences are associated with femininity and sensuality. In fact, in aromatherapy circles these essences are considered relaxing, euphoric and strong aphrodisiacs. The word aphrodisiac comes from the name of the Greek Goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite.

There are twenty different essential oils, absolutes and C02 extractions in this perfume. The solid perfume version of this sensuous fragrance has been created by hand utilizing pure, plant essences. This is the perfect gift for those allergic to traditional perfume. Lyra solid perfume comes in an antique finish metal compact contained in a dusty rose colored hand crocheted pouch. We pour our solid perfumes into a separate container within the metal compact to ensure lasting performance so that the vintage gets better with age and does not adversely react with the metal. These solid perfumes are perfect for travel!

All our items are handcrafted in a smoke and pet-free environment.

Enjoy!
