When it comes to fragrance, I like it to tell a story. Most of the scents I wear have some sort of memory or tale behind them so when I discovered Clean Reserve I just knew it was going to be the start of something special. I have quite an extensive perfume collection and I'm very particular about what I wear but that doesn't mean there isn't room for more, especially when they have our planet in mind too.
Clean Beauty Collective are at the forefront of eco-conscious packaging, not only that but the partners they work with use green manufacturing practices and all of their fragrances are infused with responsibly sourced, sustainable ingredients. Each bottle is expertly created, super sleek and totally conscious of our planet which as I move towards more environmentally friendly products, is exactly what I want to hear.
Solar Bloom is my first foray into Clean Reserve but I'm very sure it won't be my last. They split all their fragrances into three categories, two you'll probably already be familiar with and the other not so much. The first, the Eau de Parum is their most potent formula containing the highest concentrate of essential oils. It's long lasting and you don't need to use much at all. The second is the Eau de Toilette, lighter than the parfum but still as beautiful. You may need to spray this a few times throughout the day to keep the scent on your skin.
The final formulation is Eau Fraiche which is just a hint of fragrance, much like a mist with a low concentrate of essential oils.
It's perfect for a quite pick me up throughout the day.
Solar Bloom is one of Clean Reserve's EDP fragrances, it's a sensual, earthy scent inspired by the warmth of dawn as the sun rises. The scent combines citrus and floral notes of bergamot, mandarin and freesia while the heart notes deliver touches of orange blossom and jasmine. The base notes combine green vetiver and charcoal with a touch of coconut water to give the fragrance an ever so slight tropical feel.
It is beautiful and the very first time I tried it I fell in love.
Clean Reserve is like nothing I've ever tried before, I adore how unique each one is such as Warm Cotton, Citron Fig and Amber Saffron which is what I have my eye on next.
For me, Clean Reserve tell the story I crave in fragrance and it's a love affair I am fully open to.
