This is a love story between us and everything else.

TL;DR: Lean into nature, not against it—be it mother, or your own.

There is a gift in the truth. Beneath the chaos and beauty of a changing planet lie treasures, quiet and unyielding to the spotlight.

For so long, I felt the pull to build a dreamland of my own, but resisted until I couldn’t anymore. I had to surrender and set aside my indignancy and step into this new world.

Looking for Each Other (LFEO) is the vessel for that surrender: a space to gather everything I love about this world into something tangible to share with you. Each scent is crafted solely from botanical essential oils, tinctures, and extracts sourced from across the Earth.

Most perfume is made in a lab, where natural scents are imitated with synthetics to cut costs. We’ve all felt those department-store fragrance headaches.

But the real essence of fragrance, the kind that comes from the Earth itself, cannot be mimicked. The oils and extracts from true botanicals are not just free from the harshness of synthetics; they invigorate, ground, and reconnect us to nature. They make us feel safe, better than before, and once again a part of something greater.

Maybe greatness isn’t moving mountains; maybe it’s peeling an orange and tasting the fleshy fruit.

Our Ingredients (Or: How To Smell Nice Without Inducing Migraines)

Most fragrance brands, including those that call themselves clean, use vague ingredient lists while still relying on lab-made aroma chemicals. They ditch the worst offenders but keep synthetics in the formula, assuming you won’t ask too many questions.

At LFEO, we believe in transparency. You deserve to know exactly what you’re putting on your skin. Every scent is made with essential oils, absolutes, tinctures, and botanical extracts in a base of organic grape alcohol. No synthetics. No shortcuts. Just raw, living fragrance that moves with you.

Wearing LFEO

LFEO fragrances move with you, they don’t cling artificially like synthetics. Built from botanicals, without lab-made fixatives, they shift and evolve over time, reacting to your warmth and chemistry. They also die, like nature. So apply liberally. And again, if you must.

For best wear:

  • Apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, inside elbows) where heat helps the fragrance bloom.
  • Moisturized skin holds scent longer. You can dab a little unscented oil on before applying.
  • Fabric and hair carry fragrance beautifully. Mist lightly on a scarf or brush through hair for a longer-lasting aura.
  • Reapply as desired. Natural perfume doesn’t overpower, it lives with you.
