Collection: The 7 Virtues Fragrance Collection

The 7 Virtues is a brand founded by Canadian author Barb Stegemann to help and empower Afghan women, encouraging the cultivation of natural flower crops as an alternative to Afghanistan's illegal poppy crop, from which most of the world's heroin is created.

 

The company's Mission is "to build a gourmand fragrance line that is stand- alone exquisite in quality and at the same time empowers others." The 7 Virtues fragrance line is made from fair-trade organic oils sourced from countries experiencing war or strife.

The first organic fragrance from the line is Afghanistan Orange Blossom, launched on the International Women's Day of 2010. It was followed by Noble Rose of Afghanistan.

 

A fragrance featuring Haitian vetiver is under development for 2011, and oils for new perfumes are currently being sourced from the Middle East and Africa.
