Flowers and Spice: Organically Nice

champaAs a review on the company’s site says, red flower’s organic oil fragrances makes me feel that someone has made a perfume just for me.

As someone with a real sensitivity to heavy scents – how I wish I could ban most men from applying their own cologne – I have always had a hard time finding a perfume that didn’t give me a headache. Even when I can tolerate them, the synthetic scents in most fragrances repel rather than attract me.

Champa organic perfume oil by red flower does just the opposite; I spend the day sniffing my wrist, hoping to get a stronger whiff of its delicate scent. It is soft and sweet and subtly sexy. (If it were also sarcastic it would be just like me.)

The USDA-certified organic oil is a pure flower and herb distillation, which is handcrafted using champa, an East Indian tree related to the magnolia.

The champa is a native of the Himalayas, and when fully in bloom, champa trees are covered with thousands of golden yellow flowers with a powerful and diffusive fragrance. Red flower’s fragrance is a fruity, feminine floral scent, with undertones of jasmine, rose geranium, ylang ylang, mimosa, osmanthus, palmarossa and rose absolute.

The oil is applied with a stainless steel roller ball applicator and comes packaged in a box that is 80 percent recycled paper produced, and printed at a 100 percent wind-powered plant right here in the USA. Red flower’s organic perfume oil roll on is available in three scents on the company’s website. It retails for $48.
