Soliflore is the French word for 'single note'. Generally, complete perfumes contain top, middle, and bottom 'notes'. A single note allows the wearer a full experience of one particular scent, as well as opening the door to blending notes and creating a personal fragrance.
Ingredients: shea butter Vitellaria paradoxa, floral wax* Mimosa pudica, vitamin E mixed tocopherols.
*Floral wax is the soft wax that is separated from the absolute during the steam distillation process. Floral waxes are excellent alternatives to pure essential oils, as they carry the same plant properties and benefits, but are less costly.
