Like our country Aotearoa, our perfumes are unbridled, vibrant and unforgettable. It is that iconic, almost untouchable beauty of Aotearoa that we endeavour to re-create. Fiercely into sustainability (in a nice way), we use renewable resources and are eco-friendly in all our avenues of work. We are strongly against products that have been tested on animals. We do use beeswax in our Original and Artisan ranges so please ask us for a Vegan option where we will make your order with floral waxes.
Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand, and means ‘The Land of the Long White Cloud'. Myth and legend - not to mention history - claim it was Hine-te-aparangi, the wife of the Maori navigator Kupe, who on first sighting Aotearoa called out "He ao! He aotea! He aotearoa!" (A cloud! A white cloud! A long white cloud!). With Hine-te-aparangi in our minds we create perfumes that echo her wonder and joy at seeing our ‘long white cloud’. Her vision became part of our inspiration. |
