Rare and Precious
The Ajne Ajne Parfumerie and Apothecary in Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA offers something rarely found these days: perfumes crafted by master alchemists containing lush, extravagant portions of essential oils, and blended without any synthetics. These perfumes are blended in denatured organic grape spirits, organic jojoba oil, and aloe vera gel -- and can also be blended in any product of your choosing. Jane Hendler and husband Rex Rombach are the artistes behind this old-world apothecary and perfumery, and utilize botanicals such as lotus, jasmine, rose and lavender in their soaps, skin care lines, and fragrances. Two recommended fragrances rich in aroma are Desir and Savoir. Desir contains Moroccan jasmine, cocoa, blood orange, and ancient oudh (one of the world's most costly essential oils), and Savoir is an intoxicating blend of boronia from Tasmania, champaca from India bergamot and rare, lovely florals. A 5-ounce parfum in Ajne's signature black heart bottle ranges from $110 to $140. Visit www.ajneperfume.com for a wealth of fantastic fragrance, soap and skin care products.
Désir
Désir (Desire) is a deep, sensuous fragrance with rich, oriental notes. Désir contains nature's most ultra-rare & precious aphrodisiac oils such as Moroccan jasmine, Australian sandalwood, rich African cacao and ancient Oudh.
Savoir
Savoir (Knowing) is a floral, chypre blend that combines fragrant woods with exquisite florals and a hint of spice. Breathe in the fresh ocean air laced with the rare scent of Australian Boronia, Italian Bergamot & exotic West Indian Champaca and imagine the deep blue Mediterranean.
