Liminus – Alba

The outside packaging absolutely got my attention and I was excited to see what was inside! A gorgeous and unique scent without the nasties in a compact bottle so it fits perfectly in my handbag. This brand is nailing ethical, small batch production I loved reading about how it is sourced from local farmers in Tasmania where the supply chain can be accounted for. All areas have been considered from the packaging to the ingredients to the charity efforts – love!!

What I love about Luminus Alba perfume is its captivating fragrance that blends sophistication with a touch of uniqueness. The scent lingers beautifully throughout the day without being overpowering, making it perfect for both casual and special occasions. I appreciate how the perfume evolves subtly over time, revealing different notes that add depth and character. The packaging is also elegant and complements the luxurious experience of using the perfume. Luminus exemplifies excellence with its strong commitment to ethics and sustainability. Based in Tasmania, Australia, they handcraft their products in small batches, prioritising local and sustainable ingredients sourced through ethical practices. partnering with Dutjahn Sandalwood Oils showcases their ethical sourcing, ensuring sustainability and benefit sharing with Traditional Custodians. Every perfume refill sold supports the Tasmanian Land Conservancy. By participating in local events, Luminus promotes community engagement while aligning business decisions with their values. Luminus sets a high standard in perfume, blending craftsmanship with ethical integrity and environmental stewardship.

This perfume is unique, with a clever design that twists like a pen. The fragrance for me strikes a balance between woody and floral – not too sweet but not to cloying which can sometimes happens with heavier perfumes. The woody notes remind me of songs with forest themes, especially Handel’s “wherever you walk, cool gales shall fan the glade/trees where you sit shall crowd into a shade”. It’s a great example of a community-lead and community-powered brand that features local Tasmanian product and is supported by Tasmanian recognition. In an industry that extracts a lot of natural resources for a little parcel of fragrance, this business is conscious of the environmental impacts and tries to strike a balance with transparency and efforts with land conservancy.
