Limited Return Batches 2020
Studio Sketches of Perfume
7 Prompts, 7 Days
(see instagram for more, use #folktaleweek2019)
(this listing is for the limited 2020 re-release batch)
Down the rabbit hole we go... a collection of 7 sample vials - each an inspired scent created from one of the prompts of Folk Tale Week 2019. These are uninhibited interpretations of each of these potent words, and each scent, while fully intended to be used, loved, and worn as perfume, is a passionate improvisation led by the inspired prompt - a bit unrefined, a bit potent, a bit lusty and unedited.
Consider them like watching a dress rehearsal, or a work in progress. Rough around the edges but deeply authentic in the center. A bit of unbalanced beauty.
In this discovery set, you'll receive 7 vials of .5 ml pure perfume.
The prompts are:
- HOME
- SECRET
- PATH
- SMOKE
- DARKNESS
- KEY
- CROWN
Enjoy an experimental olfactory dive into each of these realms. Leave your expectations behind, revel in new facets of imagination.
-------
Home - overgrown herb garden + wild roses drying
Secret - forbidden fruits, double the jasmine
Path - of the pollinator - spilled beeswax with a bread and propolis accord
Smoke - ancestral kyphi, palo santo, unlit incense
Darkness - underground
Key - to the forest
Crown - her kingdom an orchard
------
The fine print PLEASE READ
These are a creative pursuit - please enter this knowing that they are not edited, refined, or completed perfumes in their finished forms. This is an invitation to be inside of a perfume process, inside the creative mandala of olfactory folk tales .. please approach these with an open mind!
If you are looking for something more fully realized and complete to wear for your signature scent, please refer to my perfume library using the navigation bar above.
If your nose is curious and you are looking for something that entices and intrigues, please enjoy this wander through these scent sketches.
An additional note - composition #2 (secret) contains a natural fruit isolate - carefully sourced, of course, yet some folks are not comfortable with isolates - in fact I have never used them in any of my products to date. It is present in this perfume at a concentration of less than .05% - as a creative dip into the word "secret" and the concept/temptation of forbidden fruit, taboo, and the breaking free from antiquated "rules".
