I have always been captivated by scent makers, people who use the raw materials of nature to create fragrances and oils that are truly alluring. Hopi Botanicals do just that, and take some truly dazzling pictures at the same time.
Once you get past the name, you will realize that this line is free of patchouli heavy scents. They use indigenous plants, and know what each plant's property and traditional use is. Check out the Hopi Botanicals blog, if for the pretty pictures alone.
