Unlike most commercial perfumes (which are usually made either entirely of synthetic fragrances, or mostly synthetics with only a small percent of natural essential oils), Earth Alkemie perfumes are only scented with pure essential oils, absolutes, CO2 extracts, and herbal extracts.
Our perfumes are made at the eau de parfum concentration.
Natural perfumes are more delicate than conventional perfumes and do not linger as long. As the different notes evaporate throughout the day, the scent will unfold over time on the skin. The first notes you will smell are the top notes, and they remain on the skin for minutes to an hour or sometimes two. Middle notes are the heart of the blend and last for longer: hours. Base notes hold the scent to the skin and linger the longest. Our perfumes are made at eau de parfum concentrations.
Eco notes: Paradise is made with organic (non-certified) vanilla beans, organic (non-certified) fractionated coconut oil, organic (non-certified) basil and ginger essential oils, certified organic lemon and juniper essential oils, ethically wild harvested combava petitgrain and vertivert essential oils, and an ethically grown galbanum co2 extract.
Hu is made with the following certified organic ingredients: jojoba oil, and cedarwood, lemon, and juniper essential oils. Hu is also crafted with organic (non-certified) jasmine sambac absolute, and grapefruit and orange essential oils. Hu is formulated with a couple ethically wild harvested ingredients too: galbanum and pepper. :)

Hu Eau de Parfum
Exotic florals, fruity citrus, cool green notes, deep woods, and hints of spices. Heart notes of sultry jasmine sambac; rare, mysterious, and deep jasmine auriculatum; sweet, rare, honey-like spicey carnation absolute; and spring-like, grassy yet floral scented violet leaf absolute.We use only real jasmine, carnation, and violet leaf absolutes (in most commercial perfumes, synthetic jasmine, carnation, and violet leaf scents are often used because of the high cost of real jasmine, carnation, and violet leaf absolutes. Synthetic jasmine smells very harsh (compared to the real absolute) and also has a 'chemically' off note. Real carnation and violet leaf absolutes are rare, and most carnation and violet leaf scents in perfumes are synthetic or adulterated. Jasmine auriculatum absolute is very rare, and not widely available).Green, floral, citrus, woods, and spicey.Hu means Tiger in Mandarin Chinese. The Year of the Tiger sign is called Hu or sometimes also called Yin. February 14th, 2010 marked the start of the Year of the Metal Tiger.Every plant used in Hu (except for the jojoba oil) is associated with the astrological sign of the Tiger. Here are some of my notes about the plants used in Hu. The following information was compiled from several books or resources by Chinese astrologers:Violets are associated with the Tiger. Carnations are the flowers associated with the Tiger, and jasmine is the fragrance associated with a Tiger. Jasmine is also linked to the metal element.Grande (full) size is 1/3 ounce (10 ml) and comes in a blue glass rollerball. Petite (sample) size comes in a glass perfume vial.**Hu is part of our Ephemeral collection (it is a limited edition product).
