F loramye—the reincarnated name of a French perfume brand from the 1920s—is now a thoughtfully sourced product line created using ethically grown, certified-organic hemp and essential oils. Allison Tryke lived in Tokyo for a couple of years as a teenager and was inspired by Japanese minimalist design and the rigid recycling practices of the country. She started a reusable water bottle company back in the US in 2008 to reduce single-use plastic. Tryke, the founder of Floramye, first experienced Cannabidiol (CBD) benefits while nursing a neck injury. She had a painful pinched nerve in her neck, and the pharmaceuticals made her feel drowsy. At this time, she experimented with CBD, which treated the pain directly without having to medicate the whole body. She became an instant fan!
