AUTUMN COLLECTION SCENT DESCRIPTIONS:
BLACKBURN FARMSTEAD
Blackberry Jam, Boysenberry Preserves, Vanilla Bean, Creamy Vanilla & a Touch of Vanilla Musk Reformulated from the original version in 2016
Fall is the season for canning and preparing food stores and the home and its inhabitants for the winter. The kitchen is abuzz with the creation of homemade delights but the most prized at the Blackburn Farmstead is the blackberry and boysenberry preserves made from berries grown right on the farm. In the autumn, the family gathers around the hearth to enjoy fresh made butter and jam on hot from the oven buttermilk biscuits. The jam is also a euphoric experience on the homemade fresh-churned vanilla ice cream!
Blackburn's Farmstead is a very very sweet fragrance with loads of vanilla, boysenberry, blackberry and vanilla musk with undertones of cotton candy. The berries are primarily detected on cold sniff and initial application. The perfume starts out with the delicious combination of berries laying on top of a variety of vanillas. The dry down is sweet and creamy vanillas and vanilla musk in the foreground with hints of cool-toned blend of berries in the background, rounding out the vanilla, and a faint trace of cotton candy.
5 ml perfume oil, Burnishing Glace, Whipped Soap
CRUMBLING CRYPTNOT TO BE USED BY WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT OR NURSING.
An unkempt solitary stone crypt sits shaded in a dense forest of ancient cedar trees. Crumbling stone covered in rich moss lays on wet, dank soil that is cold to the touch. A memorial long forgotten, the only frequent visitors are the shadows of the sheltering trees.
Crumbling Crypt is an all natural blend of essential oils and absolutes including Virginia Cedarwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss Absolute, Spruce, Cypress, Amyris, Rosewood, Patchouli, Violet Leaf Absolute, Rosemary, Lavender, Vetiver, Marjoram and Himalayan Cedar. It smells very very dark, woodsy, earthy, dank, green and herbal. This is a very deep, wet woods scent rather than a light fresh woods scent. It is moody and very earthy.
***Due to the oils used in this blend, these salts have a slightly spongy texture.***
Topped with dried moss.
Salts only. A very similar perfume interpretation of this scent will be available name of Runestone. It is an all natural blend in organic cane sugar alcohol. Scroll down for more information.
FOXCROFT
Decaying Leaves, Rich Black Soil, Dry Leaves, Fall Air, Woods, Chimney SmokeIf you've ever wished to literally bathe in the essence of a late-afternoon Autumn day, Foxcroft is for you. An incredible blend of wet decaying leaves, rich black soil, dry rustling leaves, fall air, woods and chimney smoke, Foxcroft is at once cool air coupled with firey red, orange and golden leaves, a sweet sharp green note, fertile wet dirt and a touch of woods laced with the intoxicating smoke from fireplaces burning throughout the countryside.
Foxcroft is very potent upon cold sniff and initial application! At the beginning, it smells of very wet decaying leaves but on the skin it will evolve into a softer and more wearable scent with dry leaves and the soft smoke and wood notes coming out. Please make sure to skin test this one for the full true experience!
Foxcroft was inspired by a beautiful quaint small town in Maine.
5 ml Perfume oil, Burnishing Glace, Whipped Soap, 60 ml Eau de Parfum, 2.5 ml EDP
GEHENNA
Red Musk, Dragon's Blood Resin, Amber, Burning Wood, Somalian Myrrh, Egyptian Musk, OudGehenna is a very dark fragrance with red musk as the dominant note, followed by rich prominent Dragon's Blood. Smoke from eternal fires billows in the background followed by a subtle addition of resinous myrrh. Egyptian Musk rounds out the sharper notes of the blend and contributes to a lighter, less ominous dry down.
On cold sniff and initial application, Gehenna is strong, powerful, rich and musky. The scent showcases the red musk and dragon's blood in the foreground with a smoke blend following just behind. The myrrh is subtle but blends with the amber and oud to give body to the blend and temper the smoke notes. After journeying into Gehenna for an hour or so, a halo of Egyptian musk emerges from the darkness - tempting the senses with its white light and calm resonance. This scent leans masculine but is a great choice for women who enjoy dragon's blood and incense-based fragrances.
Gehenna is very much a head shop/new age shop fragrance with the prominent notes of red musk and dragon's blood.
5 ml Perfume Oil, 60 ml Eau de Parfum, 2.5 ml EDP
HALLOWEEN NIGHT
Sweet Candy Corn, Chocolate Candy Wrappers, Melty Gooey Marshmallows, Sticky Caramels & Black Jelly BeansHalloween Night is a cavity inducing blend of sugared Halloween sweets, smelling similar to a Halloween candy pail. Sweet candy corn, chocolate candy wrappers, melty gooey marshmallows, sticky caramels, black jelly beans and more. This scent starts off with a little burst of black licorice that mellows quickly. Dry down is a soft blend of various candies, worn close to the skin but long lasting.
5 ml Perfume Oil only
PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE
Sweet Pumpkin, Coffee, Cinnamon, Gingerbread Whipped Cream & A Drop of NutmegThis caffeinated concoction starts with fresh roasted pumpkin spice coffee ground and brewed as an espresso. Monin Gingerbread syrup, frothy steamed milk and fresh made gingerbread whipped cream dusted with cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg complete it.
The perfume is a blend of coffee essential and fragrance oils, sweet pumpkin, gingerbread whipped cream, cinnamon and a drop of nutmeg essential oil. Upon application, coffee is the first note to emerge, immediately followed by a spicy cinnamon. After just a few minutes a sweet syrupy scent emerges. The true dry down scent rises after about 15 - 20 minutes on the skin at which point the spice mellows and the coffee, pumpkin and cream all perfectly swim together in a pleasingly balanced brew.
5 ml perfume oil, Burnishing Glace
WAIL OF THE BANSHEEWail of the Banshee is a very earthy fragrance combined with aquatic notes. It is heavy on the patchouli, woods and dank bog notes followed instantly by fresh rain and salty waves, smokey vetiver and finished with a hint of moss in the background. In use, Wail of the Banshee has a woody body coupled with an aquatic note that is slightly salty. Dark and atmospheric.
Whipped Soap, Dead Sea Salt Bath Soaks (topped with Irish moss).
WITCH'S COTTAGE
Warm Baked Goods, Dried Herbs, Sweet Annie, Soft Woods & Fragrant Hearth SmokeNOT TO BE USED BY WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT OR NURSING OR THOSE PRONE TO HAYFEVER (CONTAINS CHAMOMILE EO).
Upon entering the Witch's Cottage you are greeted with fresh and dried herbs, chamomile flowers, rosemary sprigs, Sweet Annie, Davana and a hint of crisp apples. A warm undercurrent of luscious baked goods, sweet buns and candied pralines emerges and is followed by mild fragrant woods and sweet hearth smoke. Witch's Cottage fragrance is a true journey with loads of atmosphere.
On initial application the herbs emerge with the sweet baked goods hovering just below. The apple and herbal top notes (namely the chamomile and Sweet Annie) retreat within a few minutes to make way for brown sugar and caramel heavy baked goods. The sweet note is a collection of a variety of different sugary treats but the overall scent is not cloying - rather a vague, well blended impression of baked goods that adds a rich warmth to the blend.
Further journeying into the cottage will take you to the warmest, most fragrant and exotic soft woods touched by a wisp of divine incense and sweet hearth smoke. The long term dry down is that of the woods and sweet smoke and is a very warm, comforting and alluring fragrance. A definite morpher that is also very interesting, unique and complex scent. It wears close to the skin and encourages snuggling into the couch in front of a blazing fire with a great book and a mug of hot cider!
The Whipped Soap is wonderful as well but the warm drydown described above is not as detectable. The cold sniff impression is more prominent here: warm, sweet, a touch of herbs, apple, chamomile and a hint of sweet woods.
5 ml perfume oil, 60 ml EDP, Whipped Soap, Burnishing Glace
NEW SCENTS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THE AUTUMN COLLECTION:
ASTRAL TEMPLE
Amber, Ginger, Orange, Clove, Patchouli, Vetiver, FrankincenseAstral Temple has been reformulated and returned to the catalog in fall 2016. It is similar to the original composition but not an exact duplicate and has additional nuances.
Illuminating golden amber mingles with a top note of sweet orange intertwined with spicy ginger and clove on a base of aged patchouli and vetiver. A subtle whiff of frankincense resin threads itself throughout. Astral Temple smells divine and deeply sensual and evokes the feeling of being in a still, dark room with nothing but incense smoke caressing you and flickering candles casting a warm orange glow from the boudoir. Astral Temple will have you soaring to view your Akashic records.
Astral Temple opens with sweet orange and amber touched by spices. The orange fades and the amber, spicy ginger and clove take first position. The earthy patchouli, woody vetiver and resinous frankincense are subtle but add to the full-bodied amber accord to give a deep, dark, mysterious atmosphere to the composition. Astral Temple contains a blend of fragrance oils as well as ginger and blood orange essential oil. Unisex.
5ml perfume oil
RUNESTONE
Natural Earthy Forest Blend With Aged Patchouli, Vetiver, Oakmoss, Cedar, Violet Leaf, Dirt, Leaves, Cypress, SpruceNOT TO BE USED BY WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT OR NURSING.
Runestone is dark, wet, mossy crumbling stone and tons of earthy dirt and leaves. It smells like long forgotten ruins, very deep and earthy and quite different from our other outdoors/forest scents. This perfume is comprised solely from essential oils and absolutes blended in organic cane sugar alcohol. The notes include aged patchouli, dirt, oakmoss, cedar, muhuhu, violet leaf absolute, leaves, vetiver, sandalwood, cypress, spruce, pine and very faint hints of lavender absolute, rosewood, rosemary, hinoki, spikenard and more. It's dirty, mossy, woody, atmospheric, contemplative, earthy and soothing. This is a patchouli-heavy blend. Runestone is the perfume interpretation of bath salts offered in the fall known as Crumbling Crypt, which was meant to capture the essence of a weathered crumbling tomb so the perfume has a moody dismal element to it.
5 ml perfume, 60 ml perfume (Available in Sea Salt Bath Soaks as 'Crumbling Crypt'), 2.5 ml EDP
SCRYING SMOKE
Natural and Meditative Melting Frankincense Resin, Frankincense Smoke, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Cedar, Petigrain, Vetiver, Labdanum & much moreScrying Smoke is an all natural blend focusing on the scent of raw frankincense tears melting over charcoal or in a resin and wood warmer. It contains a variety of frankincense oils, sweet delicate frankincense smoke, sandalwood, vetiver, rosewood, yellow mandarin, labdanum, petitgrain, cedar, tonka, hinoki wood and more. The supporting notes act as a pedestal for the sacred frankincense accord. This is a perfume for resin lovers. It is dark, reverent, sacred, meditative, calming, protective, mysterious, offertory, uplifting, grounding and ritualistic. The resin is warm and diffusive, evocative of the thurible smoke at Catholic service. This is not a single note frankincense essential oil; it is so much more. Scrying Smoke captures the scent of the bubbling, melting Hojary frankincense tears. Frankincense has been used for thousands of years in spiritual practice. It is an excellent aid for scrying and meditation. Though Scrying Smoke contains many essential oils and absolutes, they serve as a soft halo and base for the spotlight and core of this perfume, the frankincense resin, which glows vibrantly. Presented in a base of organic cane sugar alcohol.
