At ORTIR Apothecari we are all about the art of independent slow perfumery.
Making niche scents for self-care.
Slowly.
Go on and say it out loud.
Sl-ow-ly.
Wasn’t so long that I was heading out to Barnes Fragrance Fair excited to be a part of this much lauded scented celebration, chock full of independent niche perfume houses and experts.
Knowing I would be caught in the delicious buzz of city living.
I whizzed around. Caught up with old friends, stayed with family.
Life in the fast lane.
And I was especially thrilled that the incredible Alice du Parcq chose to include DÔL in her Scents for Self-Care talk, discussing how to use fragrance for wellbeing.
To make us feel better.
To slow us down.
Because DÔL is very much drawn from memories when days are fine and it is warm in the sun. A snapshot of lying amongst high grasses starred with daisies and woven through with wildflower. A tangle of minty geranium rose enlivens the senses and mimics the buzzing vibrant ecosystem teeming with life that surrounds and envelops you as you lay back and look up at the blue.
Life in the slow lane.
Say it again. Sl-ow-ly.
Feels good, doesn’t it.
And with every passing season you will enjoy it even more.
