There are two additional standout features of Aura Botanica, one being the fragrance. Kérastase worked with the perfumers at Mane to create the citrus and woody floral scent. Top notes include citrus zests and freshly crushed mint leaves, followed by spicy coriander seeds, pink pepper, and white jasmine. Base notes feature amber woods, Indonesian patchouli leaves, and vanilla pods. It's absolutely decadent. My tip: rub some of the serum on your pulse points if you're too lazy to spray on perfume.
To create this amazing scent, the pros blended raw materials, essential oils, resinoids, and natural extracts. Every ingredient was handpicked for its aromatherapy properties and biodegradability.
And speaking of being eco-friendly, the other major note about this launch is that the packaging uses less material. Kérastase revamped its signature bottle cap to be lighter, and it's the brand's first product to be made from recycled plastic! All packaging is done at the Burgos Factory in Spain, which uses solar panels. The line is 97 percent biodegradable and sustainably made. After you buy it, it's your part to make sure you recycle it!
