Katari’s Amour d’ete Perfume Oil is Spendiferous

By Eva Whalen, originally published in BeautyNewsNY

I’ve become an enormous fan of perfume oil for a variety of reasons; you can more easily control how much perfume you are using as opposed to a spray. Oil seems to last longer, so you use less of it. You can also adjust dabbing amounts by season, occasion, and personal preference. Sunshine and warm weather draws out perfume oil more, and when you use an exquisite perfume such as Kataris Amour d’ete, it will linger in the most delightful way.

Amour d’ete is a 100% pure, alcohol-free perfume oil, and is crafted in Grasse, France’s Provence region – which is a verdant Ground Zero for perfume zealots. Rife with a top note of fresh orange blossom, middle notes of jasmine and rose, and based in soft, plant-based white musk, Amour d’été (appropriately named the French words for “summer love”) melts into the skin for a warm, sun-kissed scent. That’s it: just four pure ingredients. It lasts all day, slowly fading into a delicious, haunting scent.

Unlike many traditional perfumes on the market, it contains no alcohol and no synthetics, so it’s easy to wear around other humans and there are no health concerns to fret about – it’s simply a pure, concentrated fragrance that works with your body’s chemistry to render it your unique scent.

This sustainable, slow-beauty approach to perfume aligns with Katari’s laudable commitment to clean, ethical beauty, and is much-appreciated by fragrance-lovers who have grown tired of the same synthetics that render many fragrances alike after the notes dry down. Katari roams the globe in search of coveted, ancient beauty staples for their suite of products, and their mantra is “less is more.”

Amour d’ete comes in a delicate, hand-blown glass bottle that will impart elegance wherever you place it. This luxurious fragrance keepsake would make an excellent bridal shower or Mother’s Day gift, so keep it on your list.

Making the perfume

"I always had an idea how Katari perfume should smell. Not too fresh, not too sweet, not too heavy. I wanted something that will turn heads and will make people ask 'what are you wearing?' when they smell this scent. And for the scent to dissolve into a gentle cloud of Mediterranean summer and a feeling of falling in love for the first time."

What our customers say

Reminds me of Sicily

I’m so happy I ordered this perfume! It reminds me of the time I spent in Sicily, when the citrus trees were full of blossoms that would make the breeze smell so sweet. Just one touch of the cork to my skin will last all day. I appreciated the hand written note as well.
