Maid Marian
Maid Marian
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.

I got the set, and fully expected to not love this one. I adore rose scents, like....obsessively hoard them. But honey is usually too much for me and civet is not a note I've loved in the past but! Somehow the combination thereof with the other notes is astounding. This smells like something vintage and expensive. Imported chic parfum with a name I would not be likely to pronounce correctly. The honey is rich, almost resinous. The civet is animalic but not barnyard or the dreaded pipi/poopoo vibe. It's addictive and sultry and I rarely describe scents as sexy but this one is. This is what the fantasy art version of a sexy priestess would smell.
