This is for a 5ml manufacturer’s bottle of Cottage Garden Alchemy perfume oil. It was created by Sharra Lamoureaux and was part of Alkemia’s alchemy oils for the month of May 2026. These are given as a free gift and not available for purchase. Their alchemies are experimental perfumes blended intuitively for the season with no written recipe. Cottage Garden Alchemy is a fragrant tapestry of honeysuckle, lilacs, hyacinths, mock orange and meadowsweet, woven with lilies, soft moss and the bright greenness of grasses. Lush, nostalgic and quietly enchanted, step through the gate into a garden in full, unruly bloom — a moment of spring held in the air.
It is also free of parabens, phthalates, PDGs and other unpleasant things. Alkemia is a hand-blended and small batch perfumery using natural essences, ethically rendered accords and lab-created aroma molecules.
