Collection: Wild Veil Perfume
A grower perfume house specializing in aromas from the garden, greenhouse, and wild lands. From fragrant plants grown and collected by the perfumer, Abigail Hinsman, and extracted using the old methods of enfleurage and tincture, Wild Veil offers natural and sustainable scents for everyone rooted in the concepts of permaculture perfumery and biodiversity.
ABOUT NATURAL PERFUMERY
Natural perfumery is the art of creating alchemical fragrances from purely natural sources such as organic, ethically harvested, and wildcrafted essential oils, absolutes, flora, butters, and waxes. Perfumes are handmade to order to ensure vitality and potency. Many of my perfumes are purely botanical and vegan (with the exception of my solid perfumes, which incorporate raw organic beeswax).
I use alchemy to compose my creations using exquisite natural ingredients sourced from all of the world, or collected from my own backyard. This means that while every item is unique, there may be slight variations within a perfume depending on the season and the source of the raw materials.
Intimate and subtle, natural perfumes wear close to the body. They radiate their fragrance for a few hours before softening completely into the skin. Natural perfumes often smell quite different in the bottle than on your body. Make sure to test a fragrance on your skin before deciding whether or not it is for you! As your skin warms the wax or oil emulsion, the plant essences mingle with your particular biochemistry, activating a unique scent [*green alchemy*]. For me, part of the pleasure lies in reapplication, periodically renewing your sensual bond with organic matter. Botanical oils contain wonderful therapeutic benefits, and so you may find a blend rejuvenates not only your senses, but mind and body. My perfumes are handcrafted from essential oils, absolutes, CO2 extracts, and other botanical compounds, wild harvested or organic when possible. They do not contain preservatives, fragrance oils, artificial colors or flavorings, SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), or parabens of any kind.
SHELF LIFE
All of my creations use only fresh ingredients and are free of SLS, parabens, preservatives, artificial colors or flavorings, and fragrance or synthetic oils. Hair and skin care products should retain their aromatic and therapeutic properties for a year or more, kept in a cool, dry, and dark area. Natural perfumes never spoil, but they may lose their top notes over time, while the base notes may deepen.
PRECAUTIONS
Plant essences are generally non-toxic and non-irritating, but they can cause sensitization in some individuals. I recommend patch testing a small area such as the inner wrist before full application, especially if you are unsure if you have a sensitivity to any natural oils, butters, or waxes. If you have a known allergy concern, please read the ingredients and notes listed, and if you are still unsure, kindly let me know.
