This magazine-styled website is usually a digital catalogue of art work, but my passion for aromatherapy and natural perfumes has once again overtaken everything, so I have decided to feature the fresh new stock right here at my website (at least until the next new film production is ready to launch)....

Aromatherapy is an ancient art which draws on the healing power of plants through the use of essential oils to enhance physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. In the hands of a qualified therapist, essential oils are the only remedy that can be used to treat internally, externally and vibrationally, making them truly holistic.
All COCONUT DURDEN products are handmade by a qualified clinical aromatherapist Dip Natural Therapies-Aromatherapy A.I.A.S.
PLEASE NOTE - Our soaps, spray perfumes, incense and spritzers are all totally vegan. Moisture cremes, solid perfumes, lip balms & body lotions include organic beeswax. We choose to use sustainable and superior quality raw ingredients. None of our products contain palm oil. We exclusively use extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil in our soft lathering, highly emollient, long-lasting aromatherapy soap. All of our essential oils are sourced from highly reputable Australian suppliers and are 100% pure and natural (Ahimsa and New Directions).
As well as our fine soaps, we also make and stock all-natural aromatherapy body lotions, deliciously natural handmade aromatherapy perfumes (Five Nectars), stimulating, refreshing and relaxing essential oil blends in rose hydrosol spritzers, pure and natural aromatherapy incense, soothing lip balm of beeswax, hemp oil and jojoba, skin-softening bath vinegars and delectable massage oils made with pure essential oils in a wholesome organic oil carrier (soyabean, wheatgerm & sweet almond).

4. WILD HONEY started with a fistful of Tahitian and Bourbon Vanilla pods, pulversised with coconut sugar and drenched with pure vodka for several months. This lusciously sweet vanilla extract was then blended with pure essential oils of Vanilla CO2, Mandarin, Turkish Rose, Oakmoss, Vetiver, Cinnamon, Cardamon, Black Pepper, Neroli, Ylang Ylang, Frankincense and Patchouli. The fragrance has a sweet, strong vanilla top note which is lusciously subdued by an earthy, rich caramel enriched with spicy exotics.
The ratio of essential oils in this perfume is so high (50%) that you
can consider it a perfume cordial. Diluted in 95% pure ethanol (from
sugar cane) the essential oil perfume is a highly robust composition of
scents that are both lingering and rich as the WILD HONEY gradually reveals the exotic layers and depths of its truly mysterious nature... a totally addictive, intensely beautiful essential perfume for every occasion. Packaged in a glass spray vial or roll-on amber glass bottles. 5mls. $50 + shipping or
