Locals and visitors have long appreciated and bathed in the sensory delight that is Noosa. The smell of saltwater lapping the pristine white sand. Fragrant botanicals taking us on a journey through the National Park. Imagine capturing those scents in a bottle for the rest of the world to enjoy!
No longer a dream, local businesswoman and well-known photographer, Katja Anton, has captured the essence of the stunning coastal qualities of the iconic Queensland destination.
Acqua Noosa is a luxe unisex eau de parfum created using Australian native botanicals and marine elements.
“The sensual and saline marine notes of the fragrance can instantly transport you back to a moment and place no matter where you are, so everyone is able to take a special experience of this magnificent coastline into their hearts and homes giving themselves and others the gift of Noosa,” says Katja.
“Now, in these unparalleled Covid-19 times where travel has become a luxury, lovers of Noosa across Australia and overseas can do just that. So even in lockdown you can close your eyes and return to the coastal paradise whenever you wish.”
Katja is a professional photographer who made the region her home 14 years ago after leaving Europe with her young family. Her love for Australia’s natural beauty led to creating an aromatic version of the area’s best features.
