Aotea
roa is the Maori
name for New Zealand,
and means ‘The Land
of the Long White Cloud'.
Myth and legend - not to
mention history - claim
it was Hine-te-aparangi,
the wife of the Maori
navigator Kupe, who on
first
sighting Aotearoa
called out "He
ao! He
aotea!
Back in 1983 while visiting Santorini, that most beautiful of Greek Isles, Kate JasonSmith chanced upon a tiny ceramic pot containing the most exquisite cream perfume. Hoping the perfume would last forever proved futile. But the little ceramic pot Kate kept as a constant reminder of everything about that particular moment in her life.
Some ten years later back in New Zealand, Kate met Francesca who explained she’d run a very successful business in the tourist gift market in Greece … creating cream perfumes in ceramic pots…‘Do you mean like this?" asked Kate finding her treasured ceramic pot. Indeed, it was Francesca’s perfume!
Kate urged Francesca to create a similar solid perfume product for the Pacific market based on the beauty that is Aotearoa. In 2002 they decided on their unique packaging concept and their first Original Range was born.
At Pacific Perfumes we embrace nature. So it will come as no surprise that everything we do comes from a commitment to sustainability.
We take this world very seriously and every step we take as perfumers, we aim to minimize the effects on our environment. Possibly like you, we understand that our world is enormously fragile.
From the first moment you handle perfumes from our new Artisan range, you will feel this commitment. Our whole-earth packaging is made from entirely renewable and recyclable sources.
The Artisan range of perfumes is made entirely of ingredients that are 100% natural and 100% botanical. No man-made synthetics are ever added. Our fragrances themselves are extracted from the purest botanicals of flower, woods, and resins. These safe raw materials are ethically sourced.
And as for our lovely wooden pots?
Since we absolutely do not support the logging of New Zealand native timber, we searched for high and low, to find an eco-friendly alternative. Finally we settled on the perfect solution - Sustainable Beech. Sourced from certified sustainable New Zealand forests, a new tree is planted for every one that is logged. YES!
Never to be undermined, we respect our environment and have always been dedicated to sourcing sustainable raw materials. This may mean - simply naturally grown or ‘wildcrafted’ or purely organic. In our everyday work, we seek out and support farmers, raw material suppliers and distillers who use sustainable practices, Fair Trade and Green business practices.
Uniquely Kiwi, we donate $1 from each and every sale of the Artisan range to the NZ Forest and Bird society who plays an invaluable role in protecting and nurturing Aotearoa’s native plants, animals and wild places. Let keep them all alive!
Being sustainable and putting our conscience into action is something we work hard at and are very proud of. After-all, we believe we are Te Whanau o Aotearoa - simply ‘caretakers’ of this land.
