Big Sur is the scent of a Pacific coast road trip of fresh ozone, sea salt, Jasmine tea, lime leaves, magnolia, green amber, saltspray rose, sweetgale, bay and paperbark. It is a perfume.
This is the alcohol free perfume, not an oil. It is also free of parabens, phthalates, PDGs and other unpleasant things. Alkemia is hand-blended and small batch perfumery using natural essences, ethically rendered accords, and lab-created aroma molecules.
Fragrantica: "Today where I live, it's mid-July with a heat index of 100ËšF. Humidity is heavy and a hurricane is about to make landfall. Big Sur is just hitting the spot right now! It is so fresh and airy, like a brisk breeze. People have remarked that no one does aquatics as well as Alkemia, and from my experience with this fragrance and others, I completely agree. Any and every gender is a marvelous fit for this."
Fragrantica: "The evergreen in this has a wonderful lightness, like woods and fields lifted by the breeze. An uplifting and exhilarating fragrance, but very natural at the same time. Gorgeous!"
Etsy:" I already knew I liked this one because I had a sample of it in the past. I can smell the ocean, the lime, the bay, everything. This is positively intoxicating. If you saw the profile of this and thought “I have other ocean scents” I recommend you pick up a sample of this and give it a try anyway. It’s probably my favorite fragrance from Alkemia to date."
Etsy: "Clean, refreshing, ocean hideaway scent. It transports you to sea! Lovely."
Etsy: "Big Sur is so amazing! Smells like a trip to the central coast on a bright day! I love it!"
