Kaffir, Temple by Anya's Garden {New Perfumes} {Natural Perfumery}

kaffir Anya's Garden.jpg

 

Natural perfumer Anya McCoy of Anya's Garden has released two new perfumes called Kaffir and Temple. These perfumes are said to be two variations on the use of different types of citruses and agar woods,

"The perfumes feature new-to-the-market citruses, paired in unexpected ways. Kaffir lime peel - also known as Thai Lime Leaf found in S.E. Asian cuisine -  sparkles in the top notes of the eponymous scent.  Distilled orange juice brings a refreshing opening to the spicy, dark and luxurious Temple. 

Two very different agarwoods were used to anchor the citruses. The agarwood for Kaffir is light, golden and spicy with hints of leather and freshy-sawn wood. Temple's agarwood is a blend of Laotian and Vietnamese dark, deep, hypnotic Ouds, a specialty grade of agarwood.".......
