Oct 2025 Note – Spiced Vanilla packaging
For a couple of months we will be substituting the original packaging for any orders of the Spiced Vanilla perfume, while we arrange a print run of labels. The old packages actually contain 33% more, so you’re winning on the arrangement!
Natural Startings
No. 8 Essentials earliest product is a range of 100% natural solid perfumes.
Each is a complex mix of high quality essential oils, carefully crafted to create a lasting fragrance.
The base is an all-natural mix of plant oils and butters, with New Zealand beeswax. Plus the magical manuka essential oil, giving it a real NZ twist.
Convenient
Solid format (like a skin balm) in a lightweight recyclable aluminium tin. Great to travel with, and the tin lasts a long time.
Bonus Offer
Some time ago we changed the packaging for this product. Rather than throw away the old packaging, we decided to carry on using it as bonus items for our customers – buy one, get one free. Simply select your main fragrance, then your bonus.
Synthetic vs. Natural
Most commercial perfumes rely heavily on synthetics, and many people react adversely to some of the ingredients.
A small number of people can be sensitive to natural ingredients but it is much less common. We have met many people that claim to have problems with perfumes, only to try ours and be fine with them.
