Turquoise

 

 

  • Key Notes: Grapefruit, Cassis, Blue Chamomile

     Waterflower-infused Musk, Mysore Sandalwood

When it comes to capturing the essence of summer, my Turquoise perfume is a must-have in your collection. This scent evokes images of crystal-clear waters, sandy beaches, and tropical getaways. Its refreshing and invigorating notes of Grapefruit, Blue Chamomile, and Mysore Sandalwood will transport you to a paradise of relaxation and bliss. Whether you're lounging by the pool or exploring a new coastal destination, my Turquoise scent will be your perfect companion, leaving a trail of freshness wherever you go.

Named after the iconic vivid blue-green stone favored as an ornament across continents throughout the ages, Turquoise is an effervescent scent that stirs the spirit with oceanic beauty. Its youthful, enlivening top note accord of Blue Chamomile, Grapefruit, Cassis and ozone elements glistens like fragrant, sun-kissed sea spray. Turquoise’s base note accord of Waterflower-Infused Musk melds with Mysore Sandalwood for a dry down of freshly subtle depth. Certain Native American tribes revere Turquoise for its healing properties, which arguably are shared by the timeless, deep blue seas of the world that also inspired this fragrance fit for a mermaid.

GEMSTONE PROPERTIES OF TURQUOISE

  •  Turquoise is a stone for finding wholeness and truth. It benefits the overall mood and emotion by balancing and inducing a sense of serenity and peace.

A GLOWING REVIEW

“I don't normally favour aquatic fragrances, but this is different. A little strong at first with the Grapefruit and Black Currant creating a fresh sea breeze, and these notes hold on for a bit. But soon, the white flowers appear with the Blue Chamomile and it becomes an almost ethereal potion with the Sandalwood and Musk slowly bringing out the warmth. Like sunlight shimmering across the water and touching on lotus blossoms, with a hint of fresh green leaves. Not long after that, it begins to whisper to me... to come to the water. This is what a water nymph or a mermaid smells like, or what she would wear if she wore perfume." - Bianca D.

Coral

  • Key Notes: Green Coconut, Orange Blossom, Mimosa

       Neroli, Fresh Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla

 My Coral scent is the way to go for those who want to add a touch of femininity and elegance to their summer scent. Inspired by the vibrant hues of coral reefs, this fragrance combines fruity and floral notes to create a captivating aroma. With its delicate blend of Green Coconut, Mimosa, Orange Blossom, and Vanilla, my Coral fragrance embodies the essence of summer romance. Put it on before a romantic sunset dinner or a night out with friends, and let its alluring scent make a statement wherever you are.

Coral is a shimmering fragrance as captivating as its inspiration - those living vibrant underwater castles that have entranced human beings for centuries. Its subtle Green Coconut top note merges with joyful middle notes of Orange Blossom and Mimosa. These rest on a sheer, enveloping base note accord of Fresh Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla that illuminates the wearer like sunlight streaming through tropical waters.

GEMSTONE PROPERTIES

  •  Coral activates the heart chakra to enhance the intuitive aspects of love. It is also a natural stress reliever and helps promote positive energy and calmness.

FIVE STAR REVIEW

"Like a day at the beach in a bottle... I love this, it reminds me of long days in the sand and sun. The gentle Orange Blossom is just dreamy. It is warm yet gently floral in just all the right ways. This is a keeper!!! One of my favorites from Sage! My husband LOVES this and that always makes me feel good!" - Simone K.

Diamond

  • Our Number One Seller
  • Key Notes: Rain Dew, White Floral Accord

      Indian Sandalwood, White Amber, Oceanic Musk

If you're looking for the perfect sheer skin scent, my Diamond fragrance is the best choice for summer. Like a precious gem, this scent is timeless and radiant, making it perfect for any occasion. Its blend of Rain Dew, White Amber, and Oceanic Musk creates a harmonious symphony that will leave a gentle yet lasting impression. Whether you're attending a glamorous event or simply want to elevate your everyday style, my Diamond perfume will add a touch of elegance and allure to your summer ensemble.

Diamond is the strongest substance known to man - known for clarity, resilience, and exquisite timeless beauty. Sage had waited for over a decade to approach this most iconic stone and translate into scent - waiting for the right materials, the right moment. And finally, it has come - the scent itself is shimmering and clear, acting as its namesake to conduct both light and heat and reflect the wearer's true beauty. With the sheerest base notes blending together to create this scent, both soft and warm, we experience the subtle hint of Indian Sandalwood, White Crisp Amber, Clean Oceanic Musk - and a touch of Rain Dew on the skin at morning - letting the light in.

GEMSTONE PROPERTIES

  • Known as the “Stone of Invincibility,” bringing victory, superior strength, fortitude and courage to its wearer. It is a symbol of wealth and manifesting abundance in one’s life. 

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL

"One of the sweetest, most satisfying things about this perfume is how it clings to fabrics, and every time my nose is near the collar and cuffs of my favorite sweater, that fresh expansiveness returns. It's not the same living, warm scent as it is on skin, it's the scent of frozen time. Memories on ice with a twist. Diamond is the perfect fragrance for Spring. The feeling of limitless space, perpetual movement, endless possibilities and all the fresh air you can drink in." - Caroline S.

  • Zodiac Stone for Leo, Gemini, and Virgo
  • Amber is part of the Earthy Fragrance Palette
  • BURN TIME: Up to 50 hours

While fragrances are typically associated with perfumes and colognes, don't overlook the power of scented candles to set the mood and create a relaxing vibe. My Amber-scented candle is a perfect addition to your summer sanctuary, filling the air with warm, comforting notes of Tunisian Amber, Vanilla, and Blood Orange. Whether unwinding after a long day or hosting a backyard gathering, the soft glow and alluring aroma of an Amber-scented candle will create a cozy and inviting ambiance that will make you never want to leave. My candles are highly fragrant, packaged in My signature reusable Japanese Washi paper-inspired boxes, and have the ability to enliven the ambiance in any room and boost a burn time of up to 50 hours for a fragrance-filled summer.

Amber is a fragrance of singular power and depth. Amber is inspired by those golden, light-filled stones formed from the resin of ancient trees. Its succulent Blood Orange top note streams like the sun’s rays through notes of Labdanum, Tunisian Amber, and Musk. Legend states that Amber was used by sorcerers and magicians to promote strength, healing, and protection. This fragrance is itself an emboldening yet profoundly calming talisman.

GEMSTONE PROPERTIES

  •  Amber carries the power of the sun, it is warm and comforting, energizing and life giving. It stimulates the chakras like the sunlight of spring, clearing the mind and stirring the soul to action.

A GLOWING REVIEW

I keep a tightly sealed dark blue glass jar with a chunk of pure, unadulterated Amber from a chemist's supply. On moments when I need a smile, I reach for that jar and get a whiff of the Real Deal. Of all the other Amber fragrances out there, only Sage Machado captures so perfectly that single exquisite note. And unlike a lump in a jar, I can actually *wear* Sage Machado's Amber. Yes, there are supporting notes - gentle traces of Blonde Wood and faint hints of Orange Rind, but Ms. Machado has so perfectly subdued them, letting the star ingredient do what it does best: shine, glow and burnish." - Zora T.

Onyx

           

  • Key Notes: Black Coconut, Tobacco Flower, Oakmoss

        Vanilla Nectar, Tunisian Amber, Sheer Musk

For those who dare to be bold and unique, my Onyx fragrance is a statement-making choice for summer. This scent is dark, smoky, and captivating, with its blend of Black Coconut, Tobacco Flower, and Vanilla Nectar. Whether you're attending a summer music festival or an evening rooftop party, my Onyx fragrance will make heads turn and leave a lasting impression. Embrace your inner goddess and let this fragrance be your secret weapon for an unforgettable summer soiree.

Onyx is a scent that is as darkly opulent as the stone for which it was named, Onyx begins with a bewitching top note accord of Black Coconut, Tobacco Flower and Oakmoss. Its rich and enveloping base note accord of Vanilla, Amber and sheer Musk caresses the skin like sweet dew born of nocturnal, tropical air. A perfume of almost primeval intensity, Onyx evokes nature's beauty in its darkest forms; a jungle's depths, volcanic heat and velvety night skies.

GEMSTONE PROPERTIES

  • Onyx provides protecting, healing and grounding energy to the wearer. This stone also stimulates the senses, self-discipline, intuition and concentration.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL

"Onyx is my absolute Holy Grail of all time and my favorite beauty secret, my most prized beauty item. Normally I'm not one to hoard my perfumes, or any beauty item, or get stabby when someone asks what I'm wearing. But if I've got Onyx on, I tell them it's a secret. I'm complemented on my scent at least once a day by a stranger. After all, it's not everyday a girl finds a perfume that really works with her body chemistry, embodies her personality, is sexy and smokey, wears close to the skin, is comforting and intriguing, lasts all and comes in beautiful and easily transportable packaging!" - Christine M.

Tips for Wearing and Maintaining Your Summer Scents

Now that you've chosen the perfect summer fragrances, here are some tips to make the most out of your scent:

  1. Apply your fragrance to pulse points, such as the wrists, neck, and behind the ears, to maximize its longevity and projection.
  2. Avoid conflicting shower gel and body lotions that may clash with your signature scent.
  3. Avoid exposing your perfume bottles to direct sunlight or extreme heat, as it can alter their composition and diminish their quality.
  4. Store your scents in a cool, dark place to preserve their integrity and prevent them from spoiling.
  5. Experiment and have fun with your summer fragrances by mixing and matching different scents from my gemstone perfumery to create a unique and personalized essence that is truly your own.
