I am so lucky to be friends with top perfumers who send me samples of their latest creations! Laurie’s Velvet and Sweet Pea’s Purrfumery she is a beloved and true animal lover. She shared with me her latest limited edition project, Pangolin Violette Rose. Laurie is giving a generous portion of the proceeds to Pangorasid Crisis Fund. Did you know that pangolins are the most trafficked mammal in the world for their meat and scales?
Pangolin Violette Rose has a dark, sexy, vintage feel. The scent starts off very earthy – the aged sandalwood really comes through over the jasmine and candied violet. As the fragrance blossoms, rose and violet petals mingle with a hint of cocoa. As you head towards the base notes of Tamil Nadu, New Caledonian sandalwood and iris, it takes on a powderier feel. It is a very complex fragrance and deserves to be a collector’s item. Honestly, my nose is not yet trained enough to fully decode this blend. But, I will say, I feel like if the show, Peaky Blinders, had a signature scent, this would be it!
Laurie uses only natural ingredients (no synthetics) and many of her naturals have been aged for over 20 years, which helps deepen the aromas and prevents buying over-harvested ingredients like vanilla and sandalwood. Uses organic, wild-crafted or sustainably grown naturals whenever possible.
If your budget allows for this kind of luxury fragrance, I highly recommend it. Not only will you feel like a female mob boss from 1920’s Birmingham, England…or maybe an Egyptian goddess…when you wear it, you’ll also be helping to save pangolins! Velvet and Sweet Pea’s Purrfumery is Leaping Bunny Certified Cruelty Free.
You will not be able to get this exact size. Laurie sent it to me for review purposes. But you can get a limited-edition solid or liquid fragrance with prices ranging from $95 to $750.
All orders from Velvet and Sweet Pea’s Purrfumery will include a free sample of Pangolin Violette Rose. So remember that when store!
