Tsi~la Organics is a line of body products and fragrances that use no preservatives, alcohol, additives, coloring, or other nasty synthetic chemicals that many other perfumes contain. Pronounced “chee-la,” the name is Cherokee for ‘flower.’ The Tsi~La fragrances seek to combine exotic notes of ylang ylang, citrus, bergamot, lavender, vanilla, lime, amber and various spices to generate unique scents that transcend the traditional “natural” or organic perfumes that can tend to be simplistic or unoriginal.
There are a number of different formulations that Annie Morton, former model, and her sister-in-law, Natalie Szapowalo, have combined. All of the fragrances are very wearable.
My favorites are Saqui: a very clean, warm scent of ginger, clove, nutmeg mingling with tangy citrus; Kesu: warm woods and slightly smoky incense mixed with lime create a unisex blend; Fleur Savage: jasmine and neroli are tempered with notes of tuberose; Kizes: reminds me of biting into a kumkwat – very fresh and tart. They are all lovely. If I had to choose just one, it’d be Saqui. The scent is warm and hearty but crisp. Tsi~La wears well for hours, mingling with your own body’s chemistry. Because they come in small, roll-on bottles, you can control the quantity of perfume you wish to wear, without being inundated with a cloud of chemical haze, as is so common in today’s factory-generated commercial fragrances that come in spray bottles.
oooh, Fleur Sauvage sounds lovely – Jasmine and tuberose are two of my fave scents. I usually wear essential oils but I like original mixes and have been stumped since I realized that my fave Michael Kors perfume made me sneeze every time I put it on- which is def. my body’s way of saying “Keep Out!!” so now I don’t wear it anymore. I don’t know if it’s the phthalates or something else, but it’s weird and makes me suspicious about their ingredients.

What a gorgeous bottle! I see on their website that Tsi~La is also coming out with a skincare line. I’ll be looking out for that… it’s amazing how many nasty ingredients sneak into even “natural” products.

Hi, I will be looking at this brand and it’s ingredients to carry on my website. I decided after converting to truly organic and natural cosmetics & bath products & finding it difficult to find trustworthy sources & marketing, that I would just start my own website! I carry only products that I have personally qualified all ingredients as certified organic, natural, mineral, etc. so you don’t have to worry about it. Check it out, let me know what you think! If you know of brands that would fit that I don’t carry, let me know please! thanks
