Such a rare and beautiful floral essence.  Pink lotus is regarded as a revered flower symbolizing purity and devotion.  The aroma of pink lotus is complex, at once sweet, floral, spicy with hints of wintergreen. Honeyed, smooth, and sweet, one must apply pink lotus to the skin and sniff throughout the dry down to experience the beauty and complexity of its ever-changing aroma.  Most will never get to smell the exotic beauty of pink lotus due to its rarity and cost.  We find this essence ages well, and we love blending lotus with sandalwood, grapefruit, or oud.

True saffron absolute is difficult to source and we have finally found an impeccable organic supplier for this rare essence.  Saffron is the worlds most costly spice and each saffron thread must be picked by hand from the crocus flower, remarkable as each flower contains just three tiny strands!  It takes approximately one million threads to produce the rare absolute. Saffron absolute is bright orange in color and possesses the aroma of rich buttery leather.  A small amount can work wonders in a fragrance and it partners beautifully with rose, tuberose and amber accords-just to name a few.  Limited quantity available.

Watermint smells just as you might imagine: watery, soft, lightly sweet and minty.  It is a light aquatic mint that has become terribly hard to find. Originally peppermint was derived from the hybridization of watermint and spearmint. The popularity of peppermint oil has led to the decline of watermint. Grab this rare Grecian essence of mentha aquatica while you can.

Our Providence Perfume Co. perfumer is a bit obsessed with the scent of yuzu, and spent years sourcing the finest quality yuzu essential oil available.  Yuzu is a citrus oil from Japan that possesses a unique fruity fresh aroma of grapefruit, lime, and bergamot.  Yuzu is the most expensive citrus oil due to it's rarity, and many disreputable suppliers mix a variety of citrus oils to cheaply (and unsuccessfully) mimic the aroma of yuzu.  Our yuzu is fresh, bright, authentic, and fabulous.  We think you'll fall in love with this gorgeous essence.  Limited supply.
