Hi there, Nomaterra fans!
Our fragrances make the perfect gift for any mom, with three different scents to match any style! And, because we know just how special moms are, for a limited time we will include one of our amazing boxes of fragrance wipes with the purchase of any of our travel sprays.
For our citrus loving moms, D.C. is your best bet. With notes of juicy mandarin and lime this is the perfect scent for the powerful, do-it-all mom!
East Hampton is ideal for a classic, elegant mom; the moms who also looked put together and chic, even amidst the chaos of keeping the home running smoothly! With notes of white woods, lily of the valley, and gardenia, this fragrance is a poised and refined as the eternally-put-together mom in your life.
And for those moms that have stayed young at heart and become your best friend, Miami is sure to please. With sweet, sexy notes of vanilla, coconut, and orange blossom, this warm and flirty fragrance is the perfect addition to your mother’s boudoir.
With any bottle purchase, you will receive a variety pack of our fragrance wipes as a special token of appreciation to the moms in your life, from Nomaterra!

Happy Monday, everyone!
We hope you all had a fantastic weekend; our founders, Ben and Aggie, certainly did! They spent the weekend in London, and held an event to introduce our fragrances to the United Kingdom on Saturday, April 20th.
Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day, and the event took place from 12pm-5pm. We were located on the 1st floor of the store in the beauty and fragrance sections, among a ton of other fragrance brands from Guerlain to Creed and beyond! We introduced our scents to local Brits and tourists alike; one woman visiting from Washington, D.C., absolutely loved our D.C. fragrance! Our scents were so successful that Ben and Aggie ended up staying an hour late to keep mingling and telling the stories behind each of our scents.
Many thanks to everyone who came by and explored Nomaterra's fragrances with us! Cheers!
Two weeks ago Nomaterra attended Missionelle's
Art of Seduction event at the Flatiron Hotel. At the event our founder Aggie discussed a number of scents and essential oils which are known to be aphrodisiacs and have been used throughout history in the art of seduction, which got us thinking about our own scents. Which of ours would be the best to use for a special date night, we wondered? As it turns out, our sultry Miami fragrance features six of these super seductive ingredients! Read on to learn about what those ingredients are and why they're so sexy!

Vanilla Pods[/caption]
Vanilla has always been known as a seductive oil; it increases production of sexual hormones (testosterone and estrogen), and there's a hefty dose of vanilla in our Miami fragrance! Miami also has musk in its base, which has a special effect on women. Musk makes women feel confident, sensual and sexy- men can't really smell it; women smell it 1000 times stronger than men do! But confidence is key in any seductive endeavor, so musk is a great thing to use!

Jasmine Flower[/caption]
Cleopatra, one of the most renowned lovers of all time, is reputed to have scented the sails of her ship with jasmine to seduce Mark Antony as she sailed to meet him. This sweet, pungent flower provides much of the sweetness found in our Miami scent.

Juicy Grapefruit, citrus[/caption]
People who wear a pink grapefruit scent are said to be perceived to be six years younger than their actual age! Now that's certainly sexy!

East Indian Sandalwood[/caption]
Men love the sweetness and woodiness of sandalwood and it has been shown in several studies to increase sexual arousal.

Exotic Ylang Ylang Flower[/caption]
Ylang Ylang is a rich, sultry scent that enhances libido and increases attraction between lovers. It can soothe the overanxious while boosting low energy. Ylang ylang has also been said to open emotions and promote a more sensual experience during love making.
So, for your next sultry experience, be sure to pick up some of
Nomaterra's Miami fragrance! Brimming will all of these super sexy ingredients, it's sure to be an instant boost to your confidence!
Saturday, April 13 we here at Nomaterra got to experience a real treat; during our meet the perfumer event at
Shen Beauty, we met one of their resident make-up artists, Jerami. By the end of the day we'd discovered ten of Jerami's favorite products, all of which are officially on our must have list for spring and summer!
1.
RMS Beauty Living Luminizer - This incredible highlighter melts into the skin. A lot of highlighters just sit on top and don't look natural, but this one creates a glow that looks like it is coming from within.
2.
Kahina Organic Argan Oil - Love this for prepping normal to dry skin. It makes your foundation go on and stay on smoother, and gives a beautiful, dewy glow to the skin. It's great for cuticles, split ends, fighting wrinkles, soothing sunburns... the list goes on!
3.
RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek Cream in Smile - This lip and cheek cream blends effortlessly and looks like a natural flush.
4.
Monoi Tiare Tahiti Pitate Oil - This coconut oil moisturizer spreads nicely over skin and gives a pretty glow and unparalleled hydration.
5.
Bobbi Brown BB Cream - This BB Cream is the perfect marriage of coverage and tinted moisturizer, but it doesn't weigh your face down or look too heavy.
6.
Nomaterra's East Hampton Travel Spray - When I think of this, it reminds me of the Hamptons; it makes me think of feeling fabulous and fresh, and the summer breeze where everyone smells good.
7.
Ilia Lip Tint - This great lipstick is 85% organic and has a great texture.
8.
By Terry Under Eye Hydrating Concealer - This great concealer gives you natural looking coverage, totally ideal for spring and summer when no one wants to look too done up!
9.
Coola Piña Colada Spray-On Sunscreen - This organic sunscreen provides great protection and gives skin a nice sheen. Plus, it cools on contact and smells fantastic, making it perfect for summer!
10.
Elta MD AM Therapy Facial Moisturizer - This moisturizer has hydrolytic acid which plumps the skin.
With the release of Condé Nast Traveler's
2013 Hot List of Hotels, we couldn't help but check out what the hottest hotels in our fair city were. And boy were we impressed! We were particularly pleased to see that a hotel in Brooklyn was featured, and was in fact declared the hottest of all three New York hotels that made the list! The
Wythe Hotel, in lovely Williamsburg, looks like a fantastic home away from home whenever you're next in the city! With breathtaking views of Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, a rooftop bar, and a top-notch restaurant in the building, we'll definitely be heading over to check out this hot hotel.

Antarctica[/caption]
Antarctica may not be the first spot many people think of for their next vacation, and to be honest it probably doesn't even make the top 10 list for just about anyone. That said, we love this gorgeous photo from the world's largest desert (that's right, it's not the Sahara) which also calls itself home to the world's saltiest body of water on earth! The Don Juan Pond is officially on our list of natural wonders we want to see.
Happy Monday Nomaterra fans!
