TAKEAWAY/OVERALL

1. THE CONCEPT. 

“Perfumery as Medicine” how perfect for us Noses!

2. THE CLAIM.

According to their site:

"In Fiore is total floral seduction for your skin and for your soul. Our distinctive, all-natural beauty line promises wondrous healing benefits wrapped in aromatic charms of perfume. Flowers are gentle to use yet powerfully restorative. Decadent, fragile, and precious, they contain the highest healing vibrations of all plants, having a subtle though profound effect on one's health and well-being down to the cellular level."

Sounds too good to be true! The claim here is the product is seductive and that is totally true. I am a slave to In Fiore... for now. We like that they are not claiming any miracles. We ignore the part where they talk about "the highest healing vibrations" because then we would have to kill ourselves and we like the way these products smell and feel too much to die right now.

3. THE INGREDIENTS.

All ingredients are natural and organic, made from plants/flower hence the name ‘In Fiore”- “in the flower.” Their site states (edited down) that their ingredients are of the most extraordinary quality- which is certainly subjective, but okay. Certified organic or wildcrafted essential oils, herbal infusions, and floral waters are imported directly from producers around the world... organic food-grade oils are produced to the highest standards...never bleached or processed. Cold-pressed... not made from hybrid or genetically engineered crops and it is organic and certified kosher as well as verified "Non GMO Project Verified". Their Organic Soy Lecithin is Certified by GMA, USDA, KSA< Quality Assurance Ltd. & the Islamic Food & Nutrition Council of America... no exposures to hexane or acetone. Who are we to say otherwise?

4. THE NOSE.

I, Nicki, was worried that the overall smell of the product line, being all plant derived, may be too overwhelming. But surprisingly, with a clever certain compatibility of all the scents in the line, I have to say the nose is deliciously exquisite, calming and even exciting, post modern hippie smells - in a good way. In fact, their solide parfume, one in particular which I won’t tell you, so you won’t copy me, just knocked me off my feet and I am obsessed! Oh well I tell you, it’s Fumee D’Ambre, but I am confident that anyone could find their favorite scent in the In Fiore perfume line to delight their own olfactory.  THE NOSE AGREES! She wears it on her upper lip so she can smell it all day - and it lasts that long, too!

5. THE PACKAGING.

The creme and oils come in simple red glass jars, and bottles with droppers (which we love to keep the content from getting contaminated through filthy fingers and other surprises while dispensing). The solids- balms for eyes, lips, and scents  are in gorgeous brass metal compacts. When it’s done, we’ll keep our heroin in there (JBF!). The copy on their site is written with a florally, mesmerizing choice of words - like if it was straight out out of San Fran!

6. THE PRICE TAG. $$$

It is not cheap - meaning it is moderate to high. But if you are willing to fork out dough for products this is the one to indulge in.

7. THE OVERALL FEEL/TAKEAWAY.

The very fact that the entire In Fiore line has low or no toxic ingredients makes us feel great- and on top of it it smells delicious. I, Nicki,  have sensitive and dry skin. The face oil definitely makes me feel more hydrated and I do like that bit of a greasy feeling for the first 15-20, which then settles in nicely into the skin leaving it dewy, soft and subtle. No breakouts as of yet- have been using it for a month now. I would recommend the oils to use before bed,  Creme during the day, because makeup sits better on the cream than the oil. (beauty tip!)

The fact that we adore the smell leaves us in a good mood, even feeling more attractive, which makes us more attractive - according to the science of smell.

7.  INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT HIGH & LOW LIGHTS.

My favorites products are the Creme de Fleur, Calme face oil and the solide parfume.

Do the products change your skin dramatically? Of course not. But i am impressed how supple and smooth it feels and looks.  My least favorite product, though I do like it, is the Fleur Vibrante oil because it smells like straight up, but good olive oil I'd rather have on my salad - but I discovered that it does a great job calming down thick coarse hair and eases a dry flaky scalp - but too expensive to just use it as a hair or scalp treatment only.

7.  HUMANITY.

They don’t test on animals and their products are gender neutral.
