repel natural perfume

Lingua Planta is the language of scent, through and through. Its founder, Merle Bergers, experienced the the inter-connectedness of plants and trees, insects and bigger animals firsthand by growing up in a small forest in the east of the Netherlands. During her studies at the Design Academy Eindhoven she grew more and more fascinated by the possible reality of plant communication. Nourished through books by the likes of forester ecologist Peter Wohlleben and writer/biologist Robin Wall Kimmerer she went on a journey to dig deep into the matter of plants fragrant messages. Inspired by the volatiles plants use to communicate, Lingua Planta has its roots deep down in scientific research but found an aesthetic translation in perfumes. Lingua Planta is based in de Bilt, Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Repel: The fragrance of a lemon tree in a Sicilian vegetable garden in spring; an invigorating perfume with a little extra.

Repel uplifts your senses and refreshes. Use a couple of sprays on your pulse points and you will imagine yourself sitting underneath a lemon tree in a Sicilian vegetable garden in spring. This fragrance is invoked by the invigorating scent of vetiver, bergamot, galbanum and citrus oils. What binds all the natural ingredients in Repel is that they contain molecules plants produce to repel certain insects or other nibblers. Hence the name Repel.
