A deceptively light-hearted blend of rose and bergamot with a hint of bay
The story: An exquisite scent inspired by Oscar Wilde's dark and fantastical tale about a man obsessed with his own beauty. An alluring scent of rose geranium and citrus with just a hint of enigmatic spice in its depth.
The product: A moisturising lip balm made with pure essential oils and beetroot extract. Note that the balm appears transparent when applied and will not stain the lips. The tube is made from recycled cardboard and plant glue, and is 100% compostable. To use, gently push on the bottom to bring out the content.
