When I was 10 years old or so, my mother came back from a business trip to Paris. A few nights after she got back, she came up to my room holding a black bag. “I’ve got a surprise for you, and it’s very special.” she said. Then she pulled a tiny bottle of Chanel No. 5 out of her purse. It was housed in a fancy crystal bottle, and it felt heavy when she put it into my tiny cupped hands. “Be careful with it,” she said. “It’s what real grown up ladies wear.”
I love Heaven’s Alchemy perfumes in part because they remind me of that first perfume memory: Heaven’s Alchemy perfume is what real grown up ladies wear who have especially good taste. I love the handcrafted crystal bottles that represent the different cities all over the world (The Dubai and Milan bottles are my favorite), and the scents are all alcohol, paraben, and pthlalate free.
Each Heaven’s Alchemy set is as complex as a glass of great wine. The Paris perfume is a feminine blend of bergamot, citrus, jasmine, and sandalwood. The St. Petersburg perfume is based on spicy lemon and orange notes that create heat to keep out the cold Russian winter. The Istanbul perfume combines fruity notes with hints of tea to recreate the cultural melding that has happened there over the last century.
Each deluxe box set comes with one of the gorgeous 20 ounce crystal bottles, along with two 10 ounce travel bottles. Each set comes beautifully wrapped in a gift box. If you can’t decide which one you want to start with or just feel like taking an a tour around the world, the Heaven’s Alchemy Perfume Samples include .9 ounces of all 15 perfumes so you can discover your favorites. Either way, they make being a real grown up lady feel like a pretty wonderful thing.
