Seeking Balance is meant to calm and balance the wearer with notes of:
-
Grounding Notes: labdanum, oakmoss, vetiver roots, carrot seed, orris root
-
Calming Flowers: lavender absolute and maillette, rose de mai, Turkish rose absolute, rose geranium oil, cassie absolute, ylang ylang oil, jasmine organic extract
-
Light Notes: bergamot, mandarin green oil, lemon oil, tahitian lime oil, galbanum CO2
The fragrance has 35% perfume concentration and wears close to the skin, in keeping with its intent to be a calming and centering fragrance.
The process consisted of St. Clair creating and sending the perfume to Miller who would then transfer the olfactory experience into a painting to accompany the perfume.
Seeking Balance Perfume is available in three sizes: 2 ml spray bottle ($16), 13 ml travel bottle ($70) and 30 ml bottle ($140).
