Petrune the Phoenix

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

On January 15th 2011, Petrune reopened after a devastating fire closed our doors. A year later we are happy to say that not only are we still here, but have had our best sales year to date. With your support, like a phoenix, we have risen from the ashes stronger (and even more stylish). Thank you Ithaca and our followers around the world.

Perfume by Roots Rose Radish

In this summer heat, wearing heavy perfume is the last thing we want to do.  Thankfully, this new collection from Petrune favorite Roots Rose Radish is practical, adorable and wonderfully subtle. Still made from only natural and organic materials, you need to come smell these for yourself. The three scents, all packaged as a solid in shell cases, would make great gifts for a loved one or yourself!

The Jasmine and Clary Sage is refreshingly green and fresh, the herbal notes could carry this scent well into fall. Our Rose, Frankincense and Pachouli fragrance is pleasantly woody, instantly comforting and warm. While all three scents are offered in the two sizes shown above, the third fragrance is also available in this one of a kind beauty.

The colorings of this shell match the summery, floral vibe of the third scent. The top notes are Ylang Ylang and Grapefruit, making for the perfect tropical escape from the Ithaca humidity. The pink shell pictured above is the only one in the store with a retail price of $40. Our other smaller sizes are wildly affordable at $20 (green shells) and $30 (cowrie shells).
