SPRING EPHEMERAL

| The Uncaptured Flowers |

SPRING 2024 MICRO-BATCH, LIMITED

5 + 15 ml bottles now come with a gold cap and atomizer. not all photos are updated yet. 

Inexplicable scents on the breeze of a fresh spring day, coaxed open by the rays of the sun and yesterday's cool rain. Tiny white buds hesitant to the new weather, slowly rising from the soil to the air in search of winged lovers, offering them perfume and pollen in return for procreation. 

Lush pink blooms too heavy for their stems stir the animal nature of ants who rush in for the intoxicating nectar hidden between calyx and petal. Purple and white clusters spill from the bushes, as if to announce "finally, spring is here" and then they disappear into the sweet green of the land.

The Personal, The Process, The Gathered

A spring fantasy floral imagining Lily of the Valley, Hyacinth, Lilac, Iris, Peony. 

SPRING EPHEMERAL is a floral exploration of notes that alchemically synergize to create nuances resembling the uncaptured flowers of the season. Let your mind float away with this one, as it is indeed ephemeral .. the flowers open and close and weave in and out of identity.
It is a mysterious elixir of spring!

Opens brightly with a veil of lily of the valley, Parma violets, and crisp neroli and  
unfolds with sweet flowers of the midday sun; lilac blossoms, garden peonies, grape hyacinths. The drydown reveals soft, not too-powdery florals of blue iris, jasmine, ylang ylang, and ever so tender inferences of freshly laid cedar mulch.

This is a daring perfume to attempt - as to reach for the flowers that have been so coveted and yet unattainable - suggests perhaps hubris or ignorance, depending on your perspective. These flowers; the rich, sweet lilacs, the stunning blue iris, and exquisite lily of the valley ... these flowers arrive in spring to our extreme pleasure and leave just as quickly. I am not so vain as to think I can truly replicate or capture them, rather, this perfume is a humble, playful romp in the realm of these fleeting flowers, the sheer exuberance of spring's arrival, and the magic of aromatic synergy.

100% Natural Botanical Artisanal Fragrance by GATHER perfume

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

Flowers upon Flowers

Ananda was kind enough to gift me a sample of this perfume w/ an order I had made. I wish this one wasn't sold out because I probably would've blind bought it considering the notes. Let me tell you this fragrance is unimaginably beautiful. I am a huge fan of floral fragrances but this is one of the best I have ever smelled. I hope you can bring this one back Ananda I am longing to add it to my collection. Thank you again for the sample.

Beautiful!

Ananda is such a gifted perfumer! The Uncaptured Flowers is a beautiful floral scent that is, in my opinion, perfection. I also make natural perfumes, so I know something of what it takes to create a fragrance this lucious, this true to the aroma of flowers that can never be captured by distilling. I also prefer scents that last on the skin, and I even after hours, even on a steamy day, the fragrance is still there. The first breath taken after spraying totally blew me away - violets (WOW), lilac, the sweet (but not overly so) fleurs then combine and deepen. Such a wonderful gift!

Enraptured

I have never been one for floral perfumes, but the convergence of my longing for Spring and Ananda’s poetic description of this fragrance inspired me to order a bottle. Within hours of wearing it for the first time, I ordered bottle #2. It is a truly glorious celebration of flowers, and wearing it both captivates my senses and feels like a loving celebration of my Self.

Floral Incense

I was scouting for a warm, powdery rose natural fragrance and tried a sample of Spring Ephemeral. I immediately loved it! While it contains a blend of flowers so that rose does not pop out to my nose and it's not necessarily overtly powdery, it smells and feels so warm, feminine and rich. It smells like a floral incense, which I love. I also appreciate that the dry-down scents are just as warm and lovely as the initial scents. I rarely find this in other perfumes.
