GAIA PERFUMES. BESPOKE, WILD-HARVESTED, FAIR-TRADE, ORGANIC
PERFUMES AND ESSENCES. Soft Summer Bespoke Organic Scents.
Often, the difficulty with recommending perfumes is that it is not an impartial thing, we are all very particular with what our nose likes and dislikes... One can steer people in the arena of ‘floral’ or ‘ambiguous’ or ‘spicy’ but the response given is unique to the wearer, the one whom inhales the scent. For fragrances are often intertwined with the individual’s memories, emotions and expectations. Californian based company GAIA Perfumes have come up with an ideal solution to this conundrum; bespoke organic perfumes made based on the client’s wishes and desires.
With over 25 years in the holistic health industry, Director and Master Blender, ANI ADAMS chooses her ingredients based on both fragrance and their therapeutic energetic effects. GAIA perfumes are made from the highest quality wild harvested, fair trade organic essential oils and flower essences.
“The dynamic vibrations from flowers, herbs, roots and trees offer profound emotional support, creative empowerment, and an enhanced awareness of our true essence of ever present beauty, peace and vibrant wholeness and wellbeing.”
Ani Adams, Gaia Perfumes
Gaia uses a refreshing approach starting with an in-depth consultation and resulting in a custom handcrafted botanical perfume made to match your own “unique soul’s imprint” (1).In addition, GAIA Perfumes offer a general line of organic fragrances, botanical perfumes and anointing oils for both men and women.

LAVERA: ORGANIC WILD ROSE
DEODORANT ROLL ON 50 ML Organic Rose Roll on
PRICE: £7.95 - 50ml We are always looking out at Choice Point for a good natural deodorant.
This month we review Lavera’s Organic Wild Rose Roll on
According to the National Cancer Institute *(1) some research suggests that aluminum-based compounds when applied frequently on the skin near the breast, may be absorbed by the skin, some scientists have suggested that the aluminum-based compounds in antiperspirants may contribute to the development of breast cancer *(2)
Lavera Body Spa Organic Wild Rose Gentle Deodorant Roll- On is soft on sensitive skin, with a milky scent of wild rose. Because it is a deodorant and not an antiperspirant there are no worries of aluminum entering the skin, its creamy texture bathes your arm pits with a moisturizing fragrance and offers protective care without alcohol. It’s certified natural and organic and ingredients include bamboo and wild roses.
“Sometimes, I lift my arms to just get a whiff of my lovely rosy petalled pits. Lovely creamy texture, soothing and calming essences of rose, this is a deodorant as opposed to an antiperspirant so if you are going into the Olympics you might want something a little stronger that will also keep you dry, but for day to day use this little number beats a lot of the competition on the market.”
