Notes: Warm hay, honeycomb, patchouli, texas cedar, light incense and an absolutely filthy civeted rose.
NOT VEGAN - contains natural beeswax absolute
This is my ode to all the ren faires of my past and present. The sights, the smells - being fully transported into a cobbled together fantasy world where everything is about joy and entertainment.
This smells like an idealized version of a renaissance faire. Lots of hay littering the ground, forming pathways through the trees, mead flowing, incense in the air, a bit of sweat on your brow, and absolutely everyone around you is wearing some mix of rose and patchouli oil. This perfume is unmistakably warm, earthy, and sweet with just a bit of spice.

Very pretty and unique. I do love the animalic note but the scent is too soft for me otherwise.
This is stunning. One of the most masterfully blended animalic scents I have ever come across. It’s sexy and comforting, and actually totally unisex in my opinion! I love a hay note and I love a civet note, so this has me in HEAVEN.
What are you doing? Stop reading reviews and order it, you can thank me later!
Maybe it makes me a freak, or maybe I'm just not that sensitive to civet, but this is a beautiful, wearable fragrance. I don't find it disturbingly animalic—it's more like lemonade (refreshing, bright, optimistic) than piss. If anything, for me it's the hay that verges on the "dirty" smell others reference: think of the way sun-warmed hay smells both clean and of-the-earth simultaneously. Everything smells balanced: not a ton of rose above everything else, just rose + hay + sunshine all rounding each other out. I'm getting a bottle of this, and although I don't anticipate wearing it much in the really steamy parts of the southern summer, it's beautiful for cool spring days and nights and feels perfect for fall.
I've only been to one Ren Faire but I can agree that this fragrance does capture the dirty and animalic scents that permeate the fair. Its the sweet and earthy hay that clings to your boots, watching knights joust on their horses, and everyone wearing patchouli oil. There is a dark sticky resin underneath it all that kinda drags this fragrance down and I can only pick up on the tiniest hints of rose. But I also tend to read rose notes as sour, so maybe that's the "resin" I'm smelling. This fragrance is fairly linear and honestly I think its a less interesting version of their Brushfire fragrance.
This fragrance has some lift off the skin, but mainly its a strong skin scent. This also lasted about 7 hours on my skin.
Not your average musky scent, this one has a stank to it from the civet note. The other notes lend a sweet, powdery, slightly smoky quality but civet is the star.
