BLK Market - Vetyver Bergamot by Ingrid Starnes

For the past two years scent aficionados Ingrid Starnes and Simon Pound have been working on a new perfume Vetyver Bergamot by Ingrid Starnes. As a busy and creative couple with three kids they realised that they most often gifted each other perfume and it was meaningful gift. Hence Vetyver Bergamot. Vetyver comes from the root of the vetyver grass - a mystical scent, used in temple worship in India and Sri Lanka; it is heady and intoxicating and is often considered masculiine, while Bergamot is the citrus flower that is fresh, green and grapefruit and lime. Drawn in essence from Grasse, France, and Java, the perfume and a matching soap has been designed and produced here in Auckland under the trained eye of Yves Dombrowsky. Vetyver Bergamot by Ingrid Starnes is available now at The Dressing Room at The Department Store, Ingrid Starnes Newmarket, Tessuti Herne Bay, selected stockists throughout NZ and online here. These beautiful shots were baseed upon Sir John Everett Millais' legendary Ophelia and shot by Karen Inderbitzen-Waller and Delphine Avril Planqueel. H&M by Shirley Simpson.
