JOVIAL JANUARY.jpg

Jovial January - I made this commission for a dear friend ; it needs decanting into a vintage perfume bottle but
it came out better than expected - she will love it.

Just made 3 x 30ml.

It is very unusual because Egyptian Blue Lotus is hardly used outside the Middle East and North Africa ; also it's very expensive and rare.

Blue Lotus is a notorious aphrodisiac and very soporific ; it can induce mild hallucinations and vivid dreams.

It has more projection than the majority of Western flowers; it's like a very strong Violet but more exotic.

There is not that many florals that are as powerful base notes as this - it lasts for 3-4 days with one application.

Made with Oud, Frankincense, Myrrh, Ginger, Heliotrope, Rose Otto, Sumatran Vetiver, Petitgrain, Bergamot, Egyptian Blue Iris, Carnation, White Sage, Civet, Tuscan Lime and Rose Geranium.

This scent is a song derived from nature and old faith."
