An intoxicating dream of deep and dark basenotes - a journey by caravan across ancient spice trade routes to the alchemist's crucible. The visible and invisible fire.
Lashings of labdanum give a salty-skin closeness; indescribable but akin to the "ambergris" of the plant world. Myrhh and Buddha wood complement this inwardly-oriented, meditative scent that is deep and dark-dreamy.
Ingredients:

100% pure and natural essential oils: commiphora myrrha*, cistus ladaniferus, eremophila mitchellii, cananga odorata, eugenia caryophyllata.

Natural perfume oils are a process of alchemy and magic that is the interplay of your own skin with natural oils and botanicals. As such a process evolves over hours, you are invited to experience this "becoming" of the perfume on your skin.
Top notes of an oil perfume are the guides that take your hand and greet you. They stay briefly and by a half an hour will have subdued and diffused their opening song, giving way to the unfolding petals of the heart florals. Oil perfumes are all about the base, with ancient resins and absolutes whose notes burn and shine, warm and soothe for hours, sometimes days. When reading the fragrance notes you are seeing a timeline of unfolding scents, with brief and sparkling top to deep and lingering base.
