Sojourn

@eliabalmsandblends was founded by life partners Mia and Jane to make natural, effective skincare that’s beautiful, simple, and free from hidden nasties. This Australian company wanted every formula to be transparent, 100% natural, and created to nurture your body each day. I was sent a botanical parfum Sojourn, described as a calming, nature-inspired fragrance with warm amber, rose geranium, ylang ylang, and bergamot blended in a jojoba oil base. Key notes: Dominant notes of amber, rose geranium, ylang ylang and bergamot to achieve tranquillity and calm. Thoughts: Elia Balms and Blends Sojourn is such a lovely botanical perfume. For a botanical roll on parfum, it has high sillage and great throw. And I love how it lingers on your skin with warm amber notes. It's a sensual, deeply feminine and yet cozy scent. A scent that seems to remind oneself to feel beautiful just for yourself.

Sojourn is one of those fragrances that makes an entrance. It’s bold, grounding, and perfect for those who love a floral-forward scent with depth and staying power. I found it paired best with slower days, those quiet, cozy moments where you want your fragrance to feel like part of your atmosphere. If you love strong, intentional scents that linger in the best way, this one is worth exploring.

The brand based this product on organic jojoba and vitamin E oils to compliment the skin and make the scent last longer. I think that it is a brilliant idea as I have noticed that mixing perfume with body oil makes it last longer. This perfume oil has a sweet, fermented smell giving off drunken vibes. It was made with calmness in mind, and I find it to be relaxing indeed. It does not scream for attention, so it is perfect for a daily wear. It creates a calming bubble around me and I love it.
