Sybarite is spicy, earthy, incense-y floral fragrance centered around the most beautiful natural red champaca absolute I could find. Despite it's rich, heavy notes, I formulated this fragrance to be somewhat diffusive and ethereal.

Notes: red champaca absolute, red mandarin, a deeply sexy vanilla, red musk, and a blend of natural sandalwoods

Sybarite: a person whose life is devoted to luxury and sensual pleasures. As a counterpart to the church inspired Duomo. Sybarite represents the other side of the coin. It is about turning inward, spoiling yourself, and engaging in the occasional sinful behavior.

Notes: hinoki, cannabis terpenes, ocean mist, aldehydes, mimosa blossom, tonka bean, deer musk accord(vegan)

It was late May. We had gone hiking along the coast. Up in the woods where the ancient spruce and cypress trees cut up through the mist and seemed to stretch up forever. As the sun set, we headed back down to the car. You wanted to see the ocean.

A week later I found the flannel that you had been wearing that day. It still smelled like you. It would be many more weeks before the scent faded completely and months more before I realized you were never really mine to lose. I didn't love you. I loved what you represented.

Inspired by Dickens on the Strand - A celebration of Galveston’s victorian history, Charles Dickens, Edgar Allen Poe, and…pirates…for some reason. Specifically a night when I was celebrating at an after-hours event in full gibson girl getup and got to have an extended conversation with a very merry and very in-character Charles Dickens. 

Notes: Hot mulled red wine, flavored with cranberries, warm spices, and orange zest; layered over a traditional chypre perfume base, pipe tobacco, and woods.
