HEIRLOOM OAK
| MEMOIRS ARMOIRE |
If furniture could talk. The lineage of immortal oak armoires. Hope chests still faintly fragrant, infusing the linens with memories. Marks of bourbon branded into the grains of the side table over time. Naturally beautiful shades of chestnut, bordeaux and amber, telling tales of times when all was written with pen and paper, when the fireplace warmed the rooms, and the scent of oak wood cords was the scent of belonging.

The Personal, The Process, The Gathered
There are pieces in my life with incredible sentimental value, and I know I'm not alone in this attachment to heritage wood items.
My childhood oak furniture that survived the snow and rain that followed after a 100 foot pine tree fell through my roof above my head in a storm (luckily I also survived).
A wooden chest I inherited from my grandfather that holds my sacred altar items and my vintage perfumes, including his. This chest is in the photos.
My mother's enormous armoire which holds all of her dried medicinal herbs, formulas, and handmade skin creams, as well as holiday china and silver.
My oversized coffee table with industrial iron wheels and the chunkiest of woods.
Inaudible stories that rise from the telling marks of fallen tobacco embers, candles melted to the end, hot tea mugs without a coaster, wine glasses that dripped, or a favorite whiskey tumbler placed in a habitual spot.
Heirloom Oak is a nod to the sweetness of storytelling wood.
Smooth and beckoning, this perfume alchemy is a synergistic composition of 28 pure plant essences.

A NOTE FROM THE PERFUMER
** Due to the fact that I - Gather perfume - use exclusively 100% natural materials, batch variance is to be expected. This is the same in any luxury, handcrafted art medium ( such as dance and opera) and agriculturally dependent arts such as viticulture, honey, or microbrewery. Gather perfumes are often limited editions for this reason, as well as the fact that some materials can only be obtained for small windows of time or no longer available at all. If you prefer uniformity in your fragrances, you may want to consider a more commercially available or mixed media brand.
With Love,
Ananda
Customer Reviews
Ananda included a sample with an order I placed. I wasn't prepared for how amazing this scent smells.
Immediately I placed an order for a bottle.
I sampled about 250-300 scents per year for the last 14 years. Rarely do I come across something that thrills me as much as Heirloom Oak does.
The quality of ingredients are first rate, and a perfect formula to show off the amazing nose.
BTW I had the same reaction to Vetiver Cocoa.
Quite addicting and will satisfy a craving for a good one every time.
This was another sample that my husband took and I had to revisit and when I did I just had to have it. The review that I left below still stands but I wanted to add that this is a perfume that my husband and I will share because it is a true unisex fragrance. I also want to say at the rate I am going I will own most of Ananda's creations. I have always loved perfume but had to give it up because of headaches. Thanks to Ananda and other natural perfumers I can enjoy wearing scent again. I own other natural fragrances from different houses but I own the most from Gather. Her perfumes are unique, beautiful and I love them all. Thank you Ananda for giving me the gift of scent!
This perfume is a great masculine or unisex scent and I love it on my husband. It is almost like he is wearing a fine whisky mixed in w/ the woody aromas. The vanilla gives it a sweetness but it is not gourmand. This is a great fragrance for a man who is strong, no nonsense, but caring and kind. Heck a woman can be all of those things as well and wear this great perfume. It just smells comforting, easy and like home. People we love are our home even more so than a building. If you want to gift someone w/ a perfume that tells them you are my home this is the one.
Heirloom Oak is a beautiful scent... I am looking forward to getting a larger bottle ♡
