From Petals to Purpose
Created with purpose, For My Girls is more than a scent, it’s a tribute to the special connection between women, a celebration of nature, and a promise to uplift others. What began as a dream became a journey of beauty, generosity, and intentional impact. Every bottle of our Eau de Parfum and rose water helps fund literacy and education in South Africa, turning something personal into something powerful.
The origin of For My Girls
It all began with a chance auction bid — an opportunity to create a bespoke fragrance that soon blossomed into something far more meaningful. Through a shared vision between Leigh Ord, founder of Vintage with Love, and master perfumer Tammy Frazer, For My Girls became a tribute to the women who shape us.
Rooted in Waterford Estate’s deep connection to nature and timeless beauty, the journey led to the planting of 4,000 Rosa x damascena bushes on the estate’s sun-kissed slopes. While these roses continue to develop their precious oil, early distillations have already produced For My Girls rose water from the 2023 and 2024 vintages — exceptionally pure and aromatic, and the perfect complement to the For My Girls Eau de Parfum.
Purchase with Purpose
For My Girls Eau de Parfum and rose water capture the essence of hope and renewal, a sensory tribute shaped by Leigh Ord’s hands-on creative vision. Every bottle you purchase — whether the Eau de Parfum or rose water — is a heartfelt homage to the women who light the way, standing as a celebration of strength, beauty, and connection.
Your purchase supports Vintage with Love, a non-profit organisation dedicated to enriching literacy and education across South Africa — from helping children access education through bursaries, to improving reading skills in underprivileged communities, providing family-style foster care to vulnerable children, and supporting schools with essential resources and facilities.
Every rand you spend helps reshape South Africa’s future — turning a simple act of self-care into a powerful gift of hope, opportunity, and transformation.
A fragrance may fade, but the impact lasts forever.
