Cult

Steamy autumn woods with the mineral scent that comes with damp asphalt slick with oily leaves. Great longevity and I get a lot of compliments on this! Reminds me of getting firewood from the damp woodshed at my aunt's cabin in the northern rainforests of British Columbia. Absolutely amazing. The cedar and palo santo are really true to form. I don't get much sweetness or anything floral but it's cozy and bright and organic all the same. I pick up on some very green notes in this, which push the woodiness forward into a sort of electric/lightening zone. Almost like a fougere because I do get fern leave and fig on top with a touch of soapiness which really balances the deeper musty woodshed note. Amazing scent from a small Canadian perfumer!

On a card this opens with a heavy woody almost eucalyptus smell. Followed by a borderline fennel / black liquorice overtop. It dries down to a realistic delicious almost dirty palo santo that i have been desperately looking for. On skin I got that same fennel / liquorice scent right off the bat and lingers quite a bit. give it about 30 mins and you have yourself a beautiful Palo Santo fragrance. Its a bit bitter, its woody. It has that trademark sting that palo santo has. Its neither smoky, nor creamy. Its rooted and grounded and a bit dirty, which is how i feel wearing this.

I’ve really been enjoying this one. Starts with a strong dirt note—earthy, mineral, cold— that settles after a few minutes once the palo santo enters and brings some woodiness and warmth. The dry down is musky, sweet, and spicy; I can’t really detect the cold dirt note at this stage, just delicious musky warmth. I can see this being an easy all season reach, but with an interesting earthy edge to it. Looking forward to a larger bottle and exploring further.

An etheric moody scent of foggy woods. Pine and cypress up front. The palo santo shatters any delicacy with it's puncturing force, smouldering and dizzying, a narcotic dose of fragrant wood. Beneath is a trail of wet earth, mossy and broken by meandering footsteps. Upon drying the scented woods, sappy needles, drenched earth, and dense fog settle into a pleasant and calming dreamscape with a touch of musk. I absolutely adore it.

This is quickly becoming my signature scent. Pure palo santo at first whiff, and stays that way on my skin for a long time. Bright, herbal, and earthy. It eventually dries down to soft wood and dirt. It blends well with my body lotion, which is burt's bees hemp lotion. The strong verbena and basil complement the palo santo and dirt nicely. It reminds me of summer days in the garden with my grandmother.
