New Launches: Pan, Fairchild and Riverside by Anya's Garden

by Grant Osborne, 18 December 2006

Anya's Garden, a natural perfume company, has recently launched three perfumes – Pan, Fairchild, and Riverside. The company was formerly known as Anya's Tropical Essences, selling natural perfumes since 1992, based in Miami, Florida.

The concept behind Anya's Garden of Natural Perfume is the intent to create, through fragrance, perfumes evocative of real and mythic gardens. Fairchild, a heady, narcotic perfume redolent of lush tropical flowers, the seashore and citrus groves, was created in honor of Fairchild Botanic Gardens in Miami. Riverside evokes the sweet roses, pink pepper trees and 1200 citrus varieties of the University of Riverside, California campus.

Pan was created as a homage to the character Pan in Tom Robbins novel Jitterbug Perfume. Robbins writes of the bawdy Goat/God of Arcadia, and how he is merely a whisper of his old self in the modern world, the sensuality and strong scent wafting by occasionally, rousing people to their ancient memories of pleasure.

Anya's Garden Perfumes are available from the website and at the Blunda Los Angeles store, with more retail outlets to be announced in the new year.
