Why choose grower perfume?
Why choose grower perfume?
With grower perfume you may see your morals and ethics reflected in their business practices, not just in messaging. Practices like:
not using child labor in the growing, harvesting, or extraction of the perfume plants that are used in their perfume;
not using slave labor in the growing, harvesting, or extraction of the perfume plants that are used in their perfume;
using conflict free plants (because they grow them themselves);
paying fair wages if they have employees or, in many cases, if it's just the perfumer, you can be assured they are working as much or as little as they like;
not using pesticides;
not relying on an economy of scale;
not using slash and burn agriculture;
seed banking for the future often using generic seeds which do not have terminator genes;
biodiversity and polycultures vs. monocultures which can imperil the survival of plant genetics;
low intervention diversified gardening vs. specific crop farming which can periodically strip land of fertile nutrients;
this all ensures the stewardship and propagation of fragrant plants that often double as food sources, such as citrus, mango, and stone fruit trees, as well as berries, herbs, and vegetables.
I will be going into detail in a grower perfume series but this is a broad overview.
