Indie line Ava Luxe has launched Green Tara, a new perfume for women:
The goddess Tara is known in Tibetan Buddhism as the great liberator and compassionate savioress. Her name translated means "Star" or "She who ferries across". She has many aspects and in her green aspect she represents creativity, healing, and enlightened activity. Tara can be related to the Chinese goddess Quan Yin, a Bodhisattva who hears the cries of the world and offers peace, healing, and protection to her devotees. Green Tara's mantra is - Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha
Inspired by the Buddhist Goddess Tara in her Green creative aspect - This deeply mysterious and sensual fragrance is rooted in sandalwood and benzoin. Labdanum and Oude wood add an intriguing exotic touch of warmth. Patchouli and vetiver add a subtle grounding influence. Rose opens up the heart chakra and allows bliss to enter in envelop us. Geranium, lavender, lemongrass, and bergamot add a touch of lightness to a very base heavy fragrance. Chinese peppercorn and frankincense delight your senses with a subtle and delicious spiciness. A fragrance that is perfect for all energy work, creativity, and meditation.
Additional notes include amber, labdanum and lemon.
Ava Luxe Green Tara is available in Perfume Oil, Parfum Extrait and Eau de Parfum, $25-30. (via newsletter from Ava Luxe)
Oh my, I will have to try this for sure…..sandalwood is hit and miss on me, but the rest of the notes sound right up my Bailiwick.
It does sound nice.
Red Tara made me swoon and it sounds like this one will too!
Oh, I will have to go peek at Red Tara!
I quite liked Red Tara – knew nothing about it, though. Green Tara sounds intriguing, both as a scent and a story.

Oh Yeah. Rooted in sandalwood always piques my interest.
Works for me too!
Mmmm. This sounds wonderful, and the price is so refreshing. 🙂
I like the prices too, although the sizes are small.
Ava Luxe has the most wonderul scents, and this sounds lovely!
This does sound lovely! I have yet to try any of her scents but must do so post-haste!
Agreed! I’d like to try it. Love the picture you chose, Robin!
That is the picture Ava Luxe is using, so not my choice (although I like it too)
This sounds delish. I’ve liked all the AL’s I’ve tried, even if I haven’t liked some of them on me. The bottles may be small, but it’s so much fun to buy a bunch of them at once and spend under $100.
MKV- Haven’t seen you in awhile. How’s the new job going?
This sounds absolutely delightful. In fact, I want one of everything from the oriental fragrance family. I already have my shopping cart full of $200+ of fragrance … now to prune that down.
Something in Dzongkha smelled really bad on me – so now I’m wary of Buddhist references in perfume!
