Each year, Stella McCartney reinvents her 2003 namesake fragrance, Stella, with lush new notes to create a limited-edition version of her iconic rose scent. For 2010 the guest ingredient of choice to create Sheer Stella is none other than organic rose.
Now, unlike Care, Stella’s organic bodycare line, the perfume itself is not certified organic by Ecocert, but the organic rose is grown by an Ecocert awarded cooperative high up in the Persian mountains.
A conventional-based fragrance with a hint of organic rose is not ideal for all you chemical-loathing beauties out there, but it is a nod in the right direction. And it does reaffirm that organic beauty has staying power within the large cosmetic houses even during a recession, which is good news for us all.
Launched in early April, and intended to showcase beauty both on and off the body, Sheer Stella Organic Rose is packaged in a bottle designed by Philip Jones – an emerging British painter and sculptor.
