I’ve become an enormous fan of perfume oil for a variety of reasons; you can more easily control how much perfume you are using as opposed to a spray. Oil seems to last longer, so you use less of it. You can also adjust dabbing amounts by season, occasion, and personal preference. Sunshine and warm weather draws out perfume oil more, and when you use an exquisite perfume such as Kataris Amour d’ete, it will linger in the most delightful way.
Amour d’ete is a 100% pure, alcohol-free perfume oil, and is crafted in Grasse, France’s Provence region – which is a verdant Ground Zero for perfume zealots. Rife with a top note of fresh orange blossom, middle notes of jasmine and rose, and based in soft, plant-based white musk, Amour d’été (appropriately named the French words for “summer love”) melts into the skin for a warm, sun-kissed scent. That’s it: just four pure ingredients. It lasts all day, slowly fading into a delicious, haunting scent.
Unlike many traditional perfumes on the market, it contains no alcohol and no synthetics, so it’s easy to wear around other humans and there are no health concerns to fret about – it’s simply a pure, concentrated fragrance that works with your body’s chemistry to render it your unique scent.
This sustainable, slow-beauty approach to perfume aligns with Katari’s laudable commitment to clean, ethical beauty, and is much-appreciated by fragrance-lovers who have grown tired of the same synthetics that render many fragrances alike after the notes dry down. Katari roams the globe in search of coveted, ancient beauty staples for their suite of products, and their mantra is “less is more.”
Amour d’ete comes in a delicate, hand-blown glass bottle that will impart elegance wherever you place it. This luxurious fragrance keepsake would make an excellent bridal shower or Mother’s Day gift, so keep it on your list.
