Just coming off of one of the most depressing times of the year, February through early March can lovingly be described as 50 Shades of Grey. While enduring the weather and landscape that toughens our spirit, one longs to scrape off the decay of winter in hopes of revealing the green, lush topography, hidden away, for what feels like centuries.
As cliché as the term, Spring Cleaning is not only necessary but also a rite of passage for each of us. One truly can celebrate the new year with its abundant new beginnings. Spring is a breath of fresh air, full of life and optimism, which I like to honor with a new fragrance.
Clean Beauty Collective has a large selection of fragrance for every scent palette. My pick, Clean Reserve in Radiant Nectar, for it’s sweet yet fresh scent of pear and honey, with subtle floral and musk undertones. Scent notes of Ambrette Seeds, Pear Nectar, Orris Butter, Carrot Seeds, Tobacco Flower, White Cedar Wood, Ambroxan, and Liquid Musk are what make up this pretty fragrance bouquet.
