A Souvenir from the Italian Aperitivo Hour
Before I led my group through Italy this May, I made them a perfume. Not really as a perfume — more as a mood. Something to step into when we landed.
They wore it everywhere. And the funniest thing kept happening: I'd lose someone in a crowded piazza or down a narrow Venetian street, and then I'd catch a thread of bitter orange and rhubarb on the air, and there they'd be. La Dolce Vita became how I found my people.
This is the perfume of the hour between the day and the evening — when the light goes gold, when someone orders a round, when nobody is checking the time.
Strictly limited to 50 bottles. Once they're gone, they're gone. Ships within one week of order.

*Naturally occurring in essential oils used in this fragrance.
None of my fragrances or balms should ever be ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals, and if you are pregnant it’s not a good idea to use essential oils. Additionally, essential/fragrance oils are very potent and can cause allergies or rashes. Always test a fragrance (mine or anyone else’s) on a small patch of skin to make sure that it won’t bother you. Ingredients are listed in each product listing, if you have a known allergy to one of the ingredients do not buy. If you have a reaction to this product, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention (if serious). Please also let me know if you have a reaction so that I may note it for my record keeping.
