Ashara

Very pretty black tea accord. The dates give it a bit of sweetness without making it too sugary. It seems like the tea might have a bit of milk and flower petals, and yet it isn't floral or lactonic. Very unique to me. I find it cozy at night, and in winter, I put it on my wrist often before bed.

The ink in this hits my nose first, sharp and metallic, immediately mellowed by the sweetness of the dates and the depth of the white agar. The date note has a full, rich sweetness that reminds me of pear nectar or fruit that is so ripe it's begun to ferment a bit. As the perfume oil dries down, it begins to smell more like drying ink on paper pages rather than an open bottle of ink, and I smell the bitter black tea. These scents pair very beautifully with the fruit. If I have anything close to a signature scent, it's this.
