When it comes to 100% natural perfume, no one formulates them quite like Vanessa Megan. Formë is her latest creation, part of the Metamorphosis collection designed specifically for women navigating hormonal changes and life transitions, and it really is something special. Here's everything you need to know.

The story behind Formë

This fragrance was developed over two years with a specific focus on supporting women through hormonal changes and life transitions. Like everything Vanessa Megan creates, it is formulated entirely with pure essential oils and botanical extracts, with no synthetic chemicals. The name is pronounced "for-MAY" and it is all about feeling grounded and confident.

What Formë smells like

When you first spray it, you get lovely opening notes of Bulgarian lavender and rose absolute. It settles into a heart of clary sage, which is widely recognised in aromatherapy for its balancing properties. The base is a rich blend of vanilla, sandalwood and frankincense that stays on the skin for hours. Frankincense has been used in meditation for centuries to promote calm, while sandalwood is known for its grounding effect.

Where wellness meets luxury

This is a pay day purchase, but worth every cent. It has a hydrosol-based formula that is incredibly gentle, making it perfect if you have sensitive skin. The essential oils in the blend were chosen for their aromatherapy benefits, including helping to support relaxation and a sense of calm.

The Formë Aromatherapeutic Perfume comes in 50ml, as well as a great trial and purse size 10ml and 10ml refill.

How to wear a natural perfume

Natural perfumes behave differently to synthetic ones. Instead of entering a room before you do, Formë creates a beautiful, intimate scent that stays close to the skin. I find the best way to wear it is to spritz directly onto pulse points like your wrists, neck and behind the ears. The warmth of your skin activates the oils, and the scent evolves naturally throughout the day.

How to layer Formë

One of the things I love about natural perfumes is how beautifully they layer with other products. Because Formë has such a warm, grounding base of vanilla, sandalwood and frankincense, it pairs wonderfully with the Vanessa Megan Bio-Omega Contouring Body Oil, which shares notes of neroli, bergamot and lavender. Apply the oil first, let it absorb, then spritz Formë over the top. In the evening, the Vanessa Megan Nocturne Magnesium & Lavender Night-Time Body Cream is a natural companion, its lavender and chamomile base echoing the calming heart of Formë beautifully as you wind down for the night.
