As silent as the deepest cavern, as serene as a twilit shadow, as graceful as a spider, and as resilient as a web: wild plum, indigo lavender, and a tranquil tendril of sandalwood incense.

White sandalwood, beeswax, white tea leaf, oud, and a hint of sophisticated urban musk.
In Sweden tradition says that sorcerers on Walpurgis night ride to Blocula and there turn into magpies. A lady at Carlstadt in that country was haunted by witch-birds in a very unpleasant manner. Having insulted a Finn woman who had begged food of her she told her to take a magpie that was hanging in a cage and eat it if she was hungry. The Finn cast an ‘evil eye’ on the lady for this insult but took the bird away with her. Some time after the Swedish lady noticed that whenever she went out a magpie came hopping in front of her. This happened for some days running, and then the magpie was joined by a companion bird, and presently by a number. The lady began to get frightened, but the more she tried to get rid of these strange companions the more numerous they became. They perched on her shoulders, tugged at her dress, and pecked at her ankles. In despair she shut herself up indoors, but they remained outside, and as soon as the door was open in they hopped. At last she went to bed and had the shutters closed, and the magpies kept on tapping outside till she died.
Blinding-white mallow and vanilla sandalwood streaked with indigo opium pod accord, velvet black violet petals, wild plum, and opoponax.
Porridge, kukui nuts, and pastry crumbs.
On a rocky mountain pass, on the southernmost slopes of Mount Belly, the witch-queen reined in her goat-drawn chariot and stopped and sniffed the chilly air.
The myriad stars hung cold in the sky above her.
Her red, red lips curved up into a smile of such beauty, such brilliance, such pure and perfect happiness that it would have frozen your blood in your veins to have seen it. “There,” she said. “She is coming to me.”
And the wind of the mountain pass howled about her triumphantly, as if in answer.
Wild plum, red musk, tuberose, calla lily, heliotrope, pimento, ylang ylang and beeswax beneath a dark haze of sinister purple-hued incense smoke.

On me it’s just sugared plums… unfortunately this one is too gourmand for my taste. But I love love the concept!

Generally a low throw scent for me, the sandalwood stands out most while the rest of the notes generally add a sweetness.

This was an incredible scent. The incense smell is certainly the main focus here, the note which lingers the most in all phases, but the plum and lavender rise and fall between that more powerful scent so that the sandalwood doesn’t overpower. It’s rich, but it has that lingering soft sweetness from the florals. I feel incredibly powerful wearing this. It makes me feel like I’m in a dark room with heavy curtains.

This isn’t quite what I was expecting. It reminds me of champa a little bit but with more of a food quality. A nice enough scent but not for me.

This scent truly fits the name. It is soft and centering with a deepness to it that conjures images of the underdark (but in a nice way). It invokes a scene of a tranquil cave lined with hanging flowers and greenery, the sound of dripping water, and a glowing censer of incense prepared for your next yoga practice. I love it!

I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful the smell is! I can’t wait to wear this everywhere.
