nightflowers natural perfume

Lingua Planta is the language of scent, through and through. Its founder, Merle Bergers, experienced the the inter-connectedness of plants and trees, insects and bigger animals firsthand by growing up in a small forest in the east of the Netherlands. During her studies at the Design Academy Eindhoven she grew more and more fascinated by the possible reality of plant communication. Nourished through books by the likes of forester ecologist Peter Wohlleben and writer/biologist Robin Wall Kimmerer she went on a journey to dig deep into the matter of plants fragrant messages. Inspired by the volatiles plants use to communicate, Lingua Planta has its roots deep down in scientific research but found an aesthetic translation in perfumes. Lingua Planta is based in de Bilt, Utrecht, the Netherlands. Nightflowers is about the blue of the night, where a magical transformation unfolds in the secret garden of nocturnal blooms. As the sun dips below the horizon, an ethereal symphony of night flowers awakens, releasing their sweet and mysterious fragrances into the moonlit air. These enchanting blossoms, shrouded in darkness, beckon to a special cast of nocturnal pollinators; moths, bats, and other creatures of the night. The alluring aromas of nocturnal blossoms attract pollinators, appearing briefly in the twilight, starting in the early evening, feasting on their nectar while carrying pollen from flower to flower. This delicate exchange is vital for plant reproduction and perhaps it’s why these scents feel so irresistibly sensual to us. top notes: petitgrain sur fleurs, neroli, cardamom middle notes: jasmine absolute grandiflorum, jasmine sambac, blue lotus base notes: dark patchouli, vanilla absolute, cacao and orris
