Behind the Bottle With Elise Pearlstine: Bellyflowers’ Wild Chypre + Green Velvet Draw
Last week, it was my pleasure to converse with soft-spoken Elise Pearlstine, the natural perfumer behind Bellyflowers Botanical Perfumes. Elise thoughtfully sent me her latest creation, Wild Chypre- composed with many wild-harvested plant absolutes, a perfume which evolved on its own. I frankly am mad for it; it is unusual and beautiful in a singular manner.
