Pacific Perfumes

From Wellington’s Aro Valley, Francesca Brice and Kate JasonSmith of Pacific Perfumes bring you their Artisan Range of solid perfumes in sustainable wooden pots, blending essences of flower, wood and resins – 100 percent natural and 100 percent botanical – to create unique perfumes encompassing beauty, quality and sustainability. Their whole-earth packaging won the 2011 HBA Green Packaging award in New York and the NZ Environmental Packaging Councils Special Judges Award. Why it’s good: Luxuriate with heavenly Simply Paradise to whisk you away to a far distant island; lose yourself in the woody and green scent of Pure Legend; have a bold and wild moment with The Wild Goddess. Each element in these perfume blends is steeped in certified organic golden jojoba oil, then carefully blended with certified organic beeswax to create hand-poured fragrances that evolve and transform on the wearer over time. The pots are made from sustainable beech wood, sourced from certified sustainable New Zealand forests.
