How did the last weeks of May unfurl for you, petal? Has June been enchanting you with birdsong, bees, and bright rays to nourish all this new growth? Thanks to all of you, our workdays have been filled with gratitude for our most successful launch of the year yet! Last month's Lilac and Lily of the Valley enfleurage perfumes have flown off the shelves and into your hands and hearts, while our studio's fragrant vernissage was an unforgettable night amongst fellow flower fanatics.
So what're we smelling and savouring in June?
We've been working closely alongside the muse of the season; Rose. Each silken petal as delicate as paper, as soft as the touch of flesh. Inhaling the dewy, green spray from pinched stems and, curiously, enjoying the exhilarating prick of thorns, cheeks flushed, smile blooming.
Rose’s energy is both gentle and strong, moving us not only to experience and embody love, harmony, and beauty, but to fiercely protect them—and promises to protect us in return. It can be used in times that feel desperate and hopeless; it opens the heart and helps process even the heaviest of sorrows.

As always, thank you for carving space for us within your day; time and attention are precious resources. Now; carry along, as you surely have much to do—and yes, resting is an important part of any to-do list. You can count on us to check in with you soon, and to remind you of this Summer solstice's radiant new release.
Warmth, rest, & roses,
April Lea & the LVNEA team
This post beautifully captures the essence of June, there’s something so grounding about how you describe scent blending as a reflection of the season. The mention of fresh tinctures and summer florals has me inspired to explore more earthy and botanical fragrances myself. I recently came across Fragrance Shop Ph and have been enjoying browsing their collection, https://fragranceshop.ph/guide-to-different-types-of-perfume/ it’s a nice space for finding both timeless and unique perfume options. Thank you for sharing these behind-the-scenes moments; they really bring the craft to life.
