With Valentine's Day just around the corner, Portland-based fragrance company Pacifica offers a romantic new fragrance that lets you share some love with a sweetheart AND with Mother Earth's oceans.
Island Vanilla was introduced in late 2011, and it offers a fresh take on the vanilla fragrance. The scent pairs a classic Tahitian vanilla note with honey, jasmine and sweet fruity notes, all on a base of tea. Pacifica co-founder and lead perfumer Brook Harvey-Taylor says the fragrance was inspired by the beautifully distinct Tahitian vanilla aroma "and many surfing trips to the South Pacific."
This sexy floral-oriental fragrance is composed of natural and essential oils in pure-grain alcohol, and is available in a 1 oz. spray and 1/3 oz. rollerball perfume. Island Vanilla is accompanied by a matching Body Butter (8 oz. and 2 oz. travel size) and a companion Color Quench Natural Moisture Lip Tint in Vanilla Hibsicus. Try all three products with the special Take Me There travel set which features the perfume rollerball, travel size body butter and lip tint.
The heart-themed pink packaging of the Island Vanilla line makes it an excellent gift for your sweetheart on Valentine's Day. Even better, your purchase also helps give a gift to the oceans of of the earth. Pacifica is donating a percentage of all proceeds from Island Vanilla to the Ocean Futures Society, a non-profit marine conservation and education organization founded by Jean-Michel Cousteau.
"As a brand founded by surfers, inspired by a deep passion for the ocean and dedicated to the environment, we feel a special affinity for this organization's critical mission to explore the global ocean, inspiring and educating people (children in particular) to act responsible for its protection." —Pacifica Island Vanilla Press Release.
