“JOURNEY is a blend of passion reflecting a personal aromatic journey through the Mediterranean landscape of Crete island. A blend to convey the understanding that it is all about the ever-changing transformational nature of life. An elixir that helps to connect, encourage personal development and create harmony. A medicine to give clarity in a protected environment, from where you can tune in to your destiny by using the power of plants to find joy, empowerment and renewal.“ - Ildiko Berecz
“Part of the above description was from the perfume brief I had submitted to my inspiring teacher Roxana Villa Illuminated Perfume to complete her course offered through the East-West School for Aromatic Studies (now The School for Aromatic Studies) in 2016. It was quite sometime after wistful thinking that I finally gave myself the green light to follow the invitation of my heart. As I have done so for the past many years and with it attracting what I was aligned with.”
