The Perfume Bee Goes “Green”
Long-time readers of The Perfume Bee may have recently noticed a change in content as I write more about natural and organic fragrances and less about synthetic perfumes.
This shift is entirely intentional.
You see, I have switched to wearing only natural perfumes in my own life, and I feel compelled and delighted to write about these fragrances in this blog.
The reasons for this shift are both simple and complex, which I will address in a future post. But let it suffice to say that this decision comes after much careful thought and consideration.
As you know, I absolutely LOVE fragrance. And the thought of living a fragrant-free lifestyle was abhorrent to me, not to mention downright sad. Somehow I equated going green with going fragrance-free.
Fortunately, I was wrong. It is not an either/or proposition. Talented perfumers around the world are creating astonishingly beautiful natural fragrances that are both safe and lovely. I have had the very good fortune to begin sampling these fragrances and have gotten to know some of the perfumers through lively email and phone conversations.
In upcoming posts, I will share these discoveries and perfume reviews and interviews with you as I always have. I will also discuss the natural/organic dialog that is taking place in the world of perfumery and cosmetics.
And, finally, I am expanding my coverage to include discussion of natural cosmetics and personal care. These are a natural extension of my interest in eco-chic beauty. My focus will continue to be on perfume, but when I come across fabulous finds in the “organic beauty” category, I won’t be able to resist sharing them with you.
I know this is a lot to take in. But I try to live an integrated life and this new orientation is reflective of that principle. So, I warmly invite you to consider The Perfume Bee as your “go-to” source for all the buzz on eco-chic beauty and natural perfume. And, as always, I encourage you to share your thoughts with me.
Love,
Christine
