ABOUT EMOTION POTION LONDON
EmPoLondon was born out of a passion for perfume & plants during the lockdowns in London in 2020.
Jane Lawrenson the founder, has been using essential oils to scent and bring harmony into her own environment for more than thirty years now. This hobby of mixing oils for friends and family as a sideline to her job as a Freelance Beauty Editor, turned into an obsession as word got around locally and people started asking for blends for themselves. Keen to learn more, Jane has taken many courses on Aromatherapy over the years and her fascination with the properties of essential oils & plant remedies continues to this day. She is a regular visitor to Grasse, the perfume capital of the world, where she keeps up to date with refresher courses in Natural Perfumery and ongoing learning about Essential Oils, Flower Essences and the properties of herbs and plants in alternative therapies.
As a self confessed perfume addict with a love of nature, plants & herbs, Jane started to think about making more complex scents that spoke to the luxury lover deep inside her. She did not want a ‘soapy’ or ‘homemade for the school fete’ feel to her perfumes - she was looking for a completely natural perfume but with a totally luxurious vibe that could stand up alongside her favourite perfume houses and could also help alleviate certain symptoms such as anxiety, sleep issues, grief or to improve the mood of the wearer. She called these her ‘Emotion Potions’ as they are blended to act on the emotions.
Aromatherapy is well known these days to be a proven addition to self care. Each essential oil has a property that works on a deeper, base level on the olfactory system - there is an oil for almost any emotion or feeling that you would like to address. The magic happens when you mix, or make a blend, of these oils and Absolutes, hoping to help ease the issue with which the client presents.
Jane found, with herself and her clients, that a lot of women were struggling with the symptoms of menopause; insomnia, anxiety, hot flushes and many more emotional side effects that can be challenging at this time of life. Signature No.1 blend was made to ease these symptoms whilst also smelling fantastic.
After working on two formulas for eighteen months, Jane finally had her breakthrough! While wearing her Amber2 scent out to an event, the compliments came pouring in. People were amazed that this fragrance smelt so ‘high-end’ but was completely natural and also had all of the properties that the ingredients imparted - they lifted the mood of the wearer. One admirer asked where she could buy a bottle, Jane had never thought about selling as a brand and the idea to bring Emotion Potion to a wider audience came directly after that night out. She decided it was the right time to follow her dream, start up on her own and bring her creations to life because if not now, then when?
Jane had also found her market. A client base who wanted to smell amazing but also wanted their scents to work harder & do something more for them rather than just sitting on the skin in a veil of alcohol.
The two scents are both completely natural, made in small batches by hand and are available in three formulas with a 100% natural candle range to be introduced later in 2024.
Jane works from her home studio in West London, where she still sees her early regular clients and supporters for their bespoke blends. She also makes Bespoke Blends and candles for local establishments, businesses and spas.
Jane is currently working on new blends to add to the range in the future.
ABOUT THE PACKAGING
All products are presented in re-cycled and refillable black glass bottles. This means that you only need to buy once and the Scented Skin Oil can then be re-filled when desired. The dark glass helps to preserve the potent oils from light and photo-changes. Jane recommends that the bottle be kept in a cool, dark place to extend the life of the active ingredients. Each product has a shelf life of 12 months.
Jane designed the labels based on the black and tan colour of her two rescue dogs. The wording is simple but elegant. All of the designs and indeed the packaging, is hand crafted and packed by Jane herself. A true one woman business.
ABOUT THE SCENTS
SIGNATURE NO.1 BLEND
A beautiful mix of florals including Geranuim Bourbon, Rose and Jasmine Absolute used for their comforting and calming properties. Top notes of Orange and Clary Sage with a touch of Spearmint, bring this scent alive and lift the mood.
The first scent developed during lockdown to help alleviate menopausal symptoms. During this time, Jane’s sense of smell became acutely aware and adverse to alcohol and strong scents in her regular perfumes. She felt that she needed something more gentle and nourishing as the alcohol irritated her skin as well as her nose!
Surprisingly, her regular clients of ‘a certain age’ also felt the same way.
Signature No.1 was born from this need to still smell divine but not in an overpowering way.
A very gentle scented Skin Oil that comforts and calms the emotions.
Available as a 20ml concentrated 100% natural oil, a 10ml Rollerball as well as a solid Skin Balm that is easy to transport and melts beautifully into the skin.
Signature No.1 is also available as a 30ml Skin & Space Spray to work in harmony with the oil and keep you and your space lightly scented and calm. Again this is 100% natural and does not contain alcohol as it is made with floral hydrosols.
AMBER2
A beautiful, deep, sensual blend of as many natural (vegan) Amber and Musk like scents all in one little package! Ideal for evenings, being that much more of an Oriental type perfume than the original Signature No.1 but wear it however and whenever you like. Amber2 inspires confidence and happiness and is an aphrodisiac! If you like a stronger more potent scent, Amber2 is for you.
Blended with Jane’s own recipe of Vanilla Oil with a touch of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Jasmine and Patchouli to give depth.
Bulgarian Rose oil brings comfort, sensuality and stability whilst Orris Root gives Amber2 its unique charm and luxurious edge.
Available as a 20ml concentrated Skin Oil, a Luxury 10ml Rollerball and as a solid Skin Balm.
All products are available to buy and pre-order via the website empolondon.square.site
