“When nothing else subsists from the past, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered...the smell and taste of things remain poised a long time, like souls...bearing resiliently, on tiny and almost impalpable drops of their essence, the immense edifice of memory”
―
Marcel Proust
This past weekend was a busy one here at Nomaterra, with back to back events at Bella Cara, a fantastic boutique which sells Nomaterra fragrances in Washington D.C., and with Sniffapalooza's Spring Fling Event.
The Sniffapalooza Spring Fling was "an entire weekend crammed full of olfactory and multi-sensory experiences. You'll come away with new knowledge, new friends, lots of new goodies, and a new perspective on a fragrant life."
Nomaterra founders Ben and Aggie gave a presentation about Nomaterra at the Spring Fling; they discussed the story behind the brand, how Aggie creates each of our fragrances, and more!
Thanks to everyone who attended the event!

Two weeks ago Nomaterra attended Missionelle's
Art of Seduction event at the Flatiron Hotel. At the event our founder Aggie discussed a number of scents and essential oils which are known to be aphrodisiacs and have been used throughout history in the art of seduction, which got us thinking about our own scents. Which of ours would be the best to use for a special date night, we wondered? As it turns out, our sultry Miami fragrance features six of these super seductive ingredients! Read on to learn about what those ingredients are and why they're so sexy!
[caption id="attachment_2588" align="aligncenter" width="97"]
Vanilla Pods[/caption]
Vanilla has always been known as a seductive oil; it increases production of sexual hormones (testosterone and estrogen), and there's a hefty dose of vanilla in our Miami fragrance! Miami also has musk in its base, which has a special effect on women. Musk makes women feel confident, sensual and sexy- men can't really smell it; women smell it 1000 times stronger than men do! But confidence is key in any seductive endeavor, so musk is a great thing to use!

Jasmine Flower[/caption]
Cleopatra, one of the most renowned lovers of all time, is reputed to have scented the sails of her ship with jasmine to seduce Mark Antony as she sailed to meet him. This sweet, pungent flower provides much of the sweetness found in our Miami scent.

Juicy Grapefruit, citrus[/caption]
People who wear a pink grapefruit scent are said to be perceived to be six years younger than their actual age! Now that's certainly sexy!

East Indian Sandalwood[/caption]
Men love the sweetness and woodiness of sandalwood and it has been shown in several studies to increase sexual arousal.

Exotic Ylang Ylang Flower[/caption]
Ylang Ylang is a rich, sultry scent that enhances libido and increases attraction between lovers. It can soothe the overanxious while boosting low energy. Ylang ylang has also been said to open emotions and promote a more sensual experience during love making.
So, for your next sultry experience, be sure to pick up some of
Nomaterra's Miami fragrance! Brimming will all of these super sexy ingredients, it's sure to be an instant boost to your confidence!
Saturday, April 13 we here at Nomaterra got to experience a real treat; during our meet the perfumer event at
Shen Beauty, we met one of their resident make-up artists, Jerami. By the end of the day we'd discovered ten of Jerami's favorite products, all of which are officially on our must have list for spring and summer!
1.
RMS Beauty Living Luminizer - This incredible highlighter melts into the skin. A lot of highlighters just sit on top and don't look natural, but this one creates a glow that looks like it is coming from within.
2.
Kahina Organic Argan Oil - Love this for prepping normal to dry skin. It makes your foundation go on and stay on smoother, and gives a beautiful, dewy glow to the skin. It's great for cuticles, split ends, fighting wrinkles, soothing sunburns... the list goes on!
3.
RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek Cream in Smile - This lip and cheek cream blends effortlessly and looks like a natural flush.
4.
Monoi Tiare Tahiti Pitate Oil - This coconut oil moisturizer spreads nicely over skin and gives a pretty glow and unparalleled hydration.
5.
Bobbi Brown BB Cream - This BB Cream is the perfect marriage of coverage and tinted moisturizer, but it doesn't weigh your face down or look too heavy.
6.
Nomaterra's East Hampton Travel Spray - When I think of this, it reminds me of the Hamptons; it makes me think of feeling fabulous and fresh, and the summer breeze where everyone smells good.
7.
Ilia Lip Tint - This great lipstick is 85% organic and has a great texture.
8.
By Terry Under Eye Hydrating Concealer - This great concealer gives you natural looking coverage, totally ideal for spring and summer when no one wants to look too done up!
9.
Coola Piña Colada Spray-On Sunscreen - This organic sunscreen provides great protection and gives skin a nice sheen. Plus, it cools on contact and smells fantastic, making it perfect for summer!
10.
Elta MD AM Therapy Facial Moisturizer - This moisturizer has hydrolytic acid which plumps the skin.
