Fresh Linen Fragrance Oil Showcase
VINEVIDA’s Fresh Linen fragrance oil is a deliciously refreshing blend of those wonderfully crisp and clean notes that we associate with drying washing on a bright Summer’s day.
The first notes to hit you on that fresh breeze is the unmistakable scent of fresh, tart and juicy Apples. The soft, luscious scent of Orange brightens the scent profile and gives it a clean, crisp edge alongside that zingy Lemon. Reminding you of the freshness that comes with clean damp washing.
Yet, you are pulled deeper into a floral fantasy of Jasmine and Orange Blossom and finally that sensuous and alluring musk envelopes you for that last flourish of deliciousness.
This fragrance oil is one that brings its bright, clean fresh edge to any home. It will help you move your mind away from the stress of the office or screaming kids. Take yourself to a happy place on a quiet summer day, feeling the sun on your face and the wind in your hair as you peg out the washing. Making it last, to enjoy the feeling of freedom only the outdoors can bring.
Fragrance Notes
The fresh, crisp vibrancy of tart Apple, zesty Orange, and zingy Lemon rises up to meet you first. They are sensuously softened with the beautiful exotic flowers of heady Jasmine and Orange Blossom. It is expertly blended with just a hint of alluring musk as the finishing flourish.
You only have to close your eyes and you can feel the grass between your toes and a breeze upon your face as you hang out the washing on a Summer’s day. It’s one that we absolutely love here at VINEVIDA.
