WIT & WEST PERFUMES IN THE PRESS / Fragrantica

Caldera Flower by Wit & West has begun to sing in our warm spring weather. In my earlier review, I wrote of it "I'm a fan of their ylang-ginger-bubblegum accord!" and that feeling has only increased as the weather has heated up.

Caldera Flower gives my previous brand favorite, La Valse, competition as owner of my heart! It is an exceedingly transportive tropical floral fragrance. The more I wear it, the more I like it and appreciate its photorealism and ability to transport me to Panama. Well done, Wit!

All-natural American brand Wit & West has announced the release of a new fragrance, Violetear. Described as a "fresh and sparkling fougère," Violetear was inspired by the Mexican Violetear hummingbird and features an enfleurage made from irises planted in the perfumer's own garden. (How cool is that?!)

Wit & West Perfumes is a small-batch, artisanal brand based on a clean ingredients philosophy: All fragrances are 100% natural (no synthetics), cruelty-free, vegan, and formulated without parabens or phthalates. Additionally, the brand strives for sustainability, minimalism, and producing just enough for enjoyment without excessive waste.
