PACIFICA PERFUME

I am a creature of habit in some ways, not all. I like towels folded a certain way, labels to be facing out in the cupboards, objects to be in pairs, and routines to be consistent. This also applies to perfume once I find something I love, and works well with my body chemistry I usually stick with a product long term. This happens to be the case with Pacifica perfume. 




 A little over three years ago I noticed the Pacifica line being carried through my favourite online retailer Well.ca (link in the sidebar) and opted to give it a try. Having been disappointed with fragrance in the past, I decided to start small instead of buying a full-size product. I ordered the Island Vanilla solid perfume, let's just say it was love at first whiff. This is a sweet yet rich Tahitian vanilla scent with honey dappled jasmine notes and a robust tea base all the things I love. I would say bar none this has become my signature scent which has taken me years to find. I also like the Indian coconut nectar as well, but still Island Vanilla remains #1. I often layer the two perfumes together. When you first spray Island Vanilla it hits you with that sweetness but as it dries down it turns into something warm, creamy, and not overwhelming.




WHAT'S IN IT? (INFO TAKEN FROM PACIFICA WEB SITE)
Pacifica’s Island Vanilla Spray Perfumes contain natural denatured alcohol and Pacifica’s own fragrance blend with natural and essential oils including juniper, grapefruit, and heliotrope.  No parabens, animal testing, animal ingredients or artificial colors.  100% VEGAN and Gluten-free.

Pacifica is carried online and you can also check who is a stockist in your area

I would highly recommend this line of perfumes especially if you have allergies or irritations to synthetic fragrance. Since using this product I don't have any congestion in my nose or eye twitching like I have with other perfume. I really hope that Pacifica never changes the formulation of this scent because it's perfect just the way it is.

In time I would like to try some other perfumes in the collection which has a range of 18 different scents. The average price here in Canada is between $25-30 for a 30ml bottle and about $10 for the solid perfume which is 10g. The current bottle I have I use every day and has lasted me 2 months, and I am only now starting to run out. 


For every Island Vanilla sold a portion of sales proceeds go to the Ocean Future Society which is a non-profit marine conservation group.


CanadianEcoMom Final thought- I find perfume purchasing a highly personal thing so unless you know a friend or family member likes a certain scent for sure, or they have made mention of one in conversation please refrain from buying it for others. I find people often buy something because they see a gift set on sale or even regift it, and why is that? because the person would not have chosen that scent in the first place. 


I hope you found this post helpful and will be on the look out for Pacifica near you
