The range includes facial serums, beard oils, aromatherapy candles, incense, natural diffusers, botanical perfumes, massage oils and aromatherapy roller blends.”
Each item is mindfully made in the old fashioned way before chemicals were introduced to imitate nature. My perfumes, for example, are created using ancient techniques traced back to the revered traditions of Egypt. Honouring the alchemy of a plants, I believe a scent should live and breathe, and never be touched by artificial fragrances or isolated compounds.
Like many of us, I have always adored being in the company of plants, flowers and trees. As a child, my parent’s small garden was a place of solitary enchantment, and somewhere to feel completely content, and create nature scented objects with petals, leaves, and bits of fallen twigs for imaginary little beings that dwelled among the plants.
In adulthood, I began as a florist, immersing myself in the language of flowers, until life led me to motherhood and new paths. My interest in natural products came about whilst searching for alternative remedies for minor ailments. At the time I was studying Near East archaeology and discovered herbs and flowers mentioned in ancient texts. Researching the plants and flowers, then led me to the wonderful world of flower essences and aromatherapy. Wishing to learn more, I studied the vibrational therapy of flowers and then went on to study aromatherapy and perfumery. I am currently on a path to study Greco Arab (Unani) medicine, and hope to continue to seek knowledge wherever it can be found.
Salam (peace) and warm wishes
