I have been asked if I "dye" the perfume and I explain that many natural essences contain color, hence the sometimes jewel tones of the perfume. I am suspicious of clear colored "natural" perfumes as most essences are far from clear!<br />CharnaCharnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17469413042646579175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544742885245244008.post-81825183801748074662012-09-09T23:44:33.763-04:002012-09-09T23:44:33.763-04:00Great Post!

I'm thinking it will be worth using an opaque bottle so that customers are less put off by the color.<br /><br />Curious to hear your experience.<br />Thanks,<br />Tania<br />Taniahttp://www.purenaturaldiva.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544742885245244008.post-59007152724360621202011-01-25T00:37:39.368-05:002011-01-25T00:37:39.368-05:00I was looking for a gorgeous fragrances that fill ...I was looking for a gorgeous fragrances that fill your world with sensory pleasure even though I am not good for a fragrance descriptions but I wanted to have a perfume collections.

I noticed that as well, especially in the bath and beauty category. I see lots of "natural" perfumes selling for a few dollars on etsy with scents like Cotton Candy.

She even dragged out one of their store books that said "Woody Sandalwood has notes of musk, sandalwood and blackberry etc.."<br />She got really angry with me when I tried to explain to her that these so called "notes" were merely scent descriptions, and that there was no such thing as natural blackberry for starters...<br />stupidity just isn't curable.Ambrosiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12560196932876503822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544742885245244008.post-79014083916453534982010-09-09T08:02:19.105-04:002010-09-09T08:02:19.105-04:00I can't tell you how much I wish the word &quo...I can't tell you how much I wish the word "natural" meant something legally. Even for soapmakers, it's hard to compete with people who label their synthetically-scented soaps as natural. Great post.

We don't have Whole Foods here in Australia but I'm familiar with their premise. Probably a bit similar to The Body Shop that focus on ethical and green in their branding, but their perfume oils are far from natural. I've also seen a natural perfumer on Etsy get told off for having 'high' prices because the buyer "can get cheaper from Whole Foods". <br /><br />I completely sympathise with your frustrations, although I have had the "inexpensive" rule come back to bite me. I sell natural perfumes as a hobby, which means say if I can afford to make a small bottle of natural perfume oil for $30, it doesn't bother me to sell it for $32. Of course, this kind of structure is completely unsustainable as a business, but not unreasonable for a hobbyist like myself. To my horror, I've been accused of green-washing because "if your perfumes are natural, then why are they so cheap?" There is no pleasing them all :).Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051817854054489527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544742885245244008.post-23002755363214471132010-09-05T17:47:20.279-04:002010-09-05T17:47:20.279-04:00Great post!

(I'm de-luking by the way...I have read your posts before but was too shy to comment)<br /><br />It isn't just the big guys who are doing the greenwashing, I see it sometimes on Etsy too, but I cough that up to inexperience, not greed. <br /><br />It seems many consumers have no idea what things really smell like. They think the forest smells like the pine candle they got at the department store, which is, according to the label, "natural". <br /><br />So if they can get a "natural" candle for $5.00, it makes complete sense to them they can get a "natural" perfume for a few dollars more. <br /><br />The Pacifica-wearing woman is missing out. I have your sampler set, plus a sample of your Musk Nouveau and I enjoy them very much. I'll be by your store to buy a bottle soon..just need to make up my mind which one!JoanElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356174815156243516noreply@blogger.com
