Velvet & Sweet Pea Luminous Lemurs ~ perfume review

Posted by Jessica on 25 September 2020 5 Comments

Back in June, I wondered whether we’d see any independent perfumers responding to the events of 2020 through their fragrance work. Yes, as it turns out: Dawn Spencer Hurwitz has been creating a series of fragrance “sketches” inspired by her home surroundings (see my review of Hot Masala), and now Laurie Stern of Velvet & Sweet Pea’s Purrfumery has released Luminous Lemurs. Laurie writes, “COVID-19 has made it even more clear to me that the purpose of my work is to help animals and indigenous communities,” and Luminous Lemurs is a tribute to these endangered creatures and their human neighbors.

Floratropia is a new(ish) natural perfumery line, emphasizing sustainability and the reduction of waste, and thus dispensing with traditional fragrance bottles (although they do sell refillable spray flacons, with optional vegan leather cases). There are four unisex fragrances, all developed by perfumer Delphine Thierry. La Terre (sap and roots, leaves, moss and undergrowth flowers) would be my unsniffed pick; it's €70 for 40 ml at Galeries Lafayette. A discovery box with four 3 ml samples is €25 directly from Floratropia.
