OFFICIAL RULES

Guest contributor: Healing Lifestyles & Spas

The days when a woman walks into a room, accompanied by a cloud of perfume, and leaving an indelible fragrance footprint in her wake are so over. As more and more women are learning about the danger of phthalates (a fragrance stabilizer used in most synthetic perfumes that can wreak havoc on hormones), perfume as we know it is becoming an olfactory assault and losing street cred.

Mandy Aftel, founder of Aftelier perfumes and a passionate advocate for artisan natural fragrances, chose to make natural perfumes as much for aesthetic reasons as for health ones. With natural perfumes, she says, “I use the finest ingredients in the world, albeit the most expensive. Much like food, a perfume is only as good as its ingredients.”

And while natural perfume may not last as long, the way it evolves on your skin and mixes with your body’s chemistry makes it a singular experience. Plus, with a little less than a third of the population prone to chemical sensitivities, you will be doing everyone a favor by keeping your choice in scents a discreet pleasure. We’ve rounded up our seven favorite naturally derived fragrances, all guaranteed to lift your spirits without any toxic hangover. Be sure to check them out, they are must tries and then must haves!

Today we’ve invited Alexis Wolfer, founder of The Beauty Bean to tell us about one of her all-time favorite little luxuries.
The Little Luxury: Jo Malone: The Art of Fragrance Combining

Relationship status: Jo and I have been casually dating for a long time, exclusively for about a year. Well, “exclusively” is a slight exaggeration. We’re in a relationship, a serious one, but I do occasionally have casual flings here and there with Stella McCartney, Chloe, and Bond No. 9. (Shhh, don’t tell Jo, she’d be offended – and at the end of the day, she is my true love.)

How it works: Unlike many perfumes that are designed to be worn on their own, Jo Malone’s colognes are complex enough to be worn by themselves, yet also uniquely afford you the opportunity to create your own bespoke signature scent. Don’t worry – no technical training required. Just spray on one cologne (or lather on one of their lusciously scented bath and body products), let it dry, and then spray a different fragrance on top.

Advice for the novice: Ok, so not all of the fragrances pair well together. And while a dab of rubbing alcohol will help dissipate the cacophonous combos that could be, my advice for first timers is to stick with Jo Malone’s Fragrance Combining Menu – at least at first. (Although I have to say that my current go-to combo is not on their menu: Orange Blossom and Pomegranate Noir.)

Why it’s worth the splurge: While the 30 mL bottles are $55 at JoMalone.com – and you do need at least 2 in order to appreciate the marvels of mixing – if my math skills serve me right, buying 3 fragrances that all blend well together actually gives you 7 possible cologne combinations, making it quite the deal.

Biggest bonus: For every additional bottle you buy, you add exponentially to your collection of possible scents.

The only downside (because no relationship is perfect): You’ll want them all. I do.

Hot Stone Scale: 6 out of 6 (because 10 was not an option)
