CELEBRATING OUR COMMUNITY OF TALENTED MAKERS, ARTISANS & ALCHEMISTS
Ondine Perfume is a Vermont-based blender of organic, whole botanical perfumes. The brand recently relaunched this past spring and along with a new logo and packaging, have scents you won’t want to miss.
"Ondine Perfume originated in a confluence of logical and unexpected circumstances for Paul and Maya Boffa. Destiny includes the facts that Ondine is Maya’s middle name, while circumstances and logic recommended that they buy the trademark for a mid-twentieth century Parisian perfume by the same name when it became available in 2016."
We adore storytellers and artisans who create their products with intention and meaning. Using the best ingredients is only a portion of what makes Ondine so special.
“Organic Alcohol is essential to our formulating. Folks are surprised to learn that our products are organic right down to the alcohol.”
The founders of Ondine live an organic lifestyle that isn't limited to their fine Vermont-made perfumes. Both artists in other forms, such as music and design, Paul and Maya seek artistic creation with the wild organic materials found near them.
“44 North, our latitude, is one of our perfumes inspired by this environ and, of necessity, includes notes of birch, beeswax, black spruce, and honeysuckle that surround us.”
”We are frequently approached by people who share tales of sensitivity or allergy due to synthetic fragrance that is so ubiquitous in our world. They often try Ondine Perfume and find it not only very appealing but safe. They usually know right away. We are trying to support a cultural shift in beauty products, like perfume, that are more attuned to self-care and self-expression vs. the external expressions of style or attraction.”
”Organic formulations have an ephemeral quality that, while rich and deep, have a natural arc or sillage that shifts and decays on the skin over a few hours. These perfumes don’t take over the room but are rather intimate.”
It doesn't take someone in the industry to know that beauty products can be laden with chemicals and synthetics. Moving towards truly cleaner products is a step we are so proud to be a part of. Thank you, Ondine, for sharing your passion and products with us.
