This is a pay day purchase, but worth every cent.
No one does 100% natural perfume quite like Vanessa Megan. Her whole Metamorphosis collection is made for peri and menopausal women, and Formë was created to help you feel steady and like yourself through all that change.
The story behind Formë
It took Vanessa Megan two years to develop, and like everything she makes, it's pure essential oils and botanical extracts with no synthetic chemicals. The name is pronounced "for-MAY", and it's all about feeling grounded and confident.
What Formë smells like
Spray it and you get Bulgarian lavender and rose absolute up top. It settles into a heart of clary sage, long used in aromatherapy for its balancing reputation, over a base of vanilla, sandalwood and frankincense that stays close to the skin for hours. It's warm and grounding without being heavy.
Is Formë gentle on sensitive skin?
Yes. It's a hydrosol-based formula, so it suits sensitive skin, and the oils were chosen for their calming aromatherapy reputation.
The Formë Aromatherapeutic Perfume comes in 50ml, plus a 10ml trial and purse size and a 10ml refill.
How do you wear a natural perfume?
Natural perfumes behave differently to synthetic ones. Formë sits close to the skin, an intimate scent for you and whoever gets near you. I wear it straight on the pulse points, the wrists, the neck and behind the ears. The warmth of your skin activates the oils, and the scent shifts through the day.
How I layer Formë
One of the things I love about natural perfume is how it layers. Formë has that warm base of vanilla, sandalwood and frankincense, and here's how I build on it.
Oil first. Apply the Vanessa Megan Bio-Omega Contouring Body Oil, a neroli, bergamot and lavender oil that layers well under Formë, and let it absorb.
Then spritz. Mist Formë over the pulse points.
At night. The Vanessa Megan Nocturne Magnesium & Lavender Night-Time Body Cream is the natural companion, its lavender and chamomile echoing the calm in Formë as you wind down.
