 Justine Crane, botanical perfumer, perfumery teacher and owner of The Scented Djinn has had rave reviews on three of her hand-crafted, all natural perfumes by the Scent Hive. The three perfumes reviewed were Oshiba, Ianthe, and Khamsa eau Fraiche.
Justine is an extraordinary perfumer with natural talent. She is understated and humble about it, and just lets her work speak for itself. Nature's Nexus has a special connection with her and is very proud because she teaches a perfume class on Nature's Nexus Academy of Perfuming Arts. There's a giveaway prize of a full-sized bottle (100 mls) of Khamsa Eau Fraiche and anybody who comments on the blog will be entered for a chance to win. |

Substances in synthetic perfumes such as Toulene and many synthetic musks cause permanent damage to the nerve endings of the human olfactory system. Almost all popular modern perfumes and household laundry detergents and air fresheners contain synthetic musks. Modern 'pop' perfumes are designed to get into the air and up peoples noses. It’s not an intimate thing, it’s something other people have to experience whether they like it or not. It is noticeable that people who use these synthetic perfumes to excess in their homes and on their bodies are less sensitive to natural smells in general and they will often apply and reapply a perfume, using far beyond what is a reasonable or safe amount. |
