Aroma palette is mineral, earthy, linen-soft, and coldly floral. Highlights include white flowers pierced by cold air, silvery resin, antique bridal linens, damp stone, snowmelt, and cracked frozen earth.
This melancholy composition shares the same atmospheric environment as Victor’s Lament and The Creature, but its emotional feel is very different. It is the saddest of the three fragrances in this collection, built from cold florals, mineral earth, and worn fabric. The florals here are so cold and enmeshed in earth that they barely register as florals. They feel like they were pressed into ice during a moment of loss and then discovered years later.
A textile note of antique bridal linens weaves through, worn and decaying rather than powdery. It’s an impression of aged fabric submerged in icy water, absorbing air and stone over time. Damp stone and cold mineral earth anchor through the dry-down, as this composition is heavily earthy.
Snowmelt runs through on the dry down, clean and faintly metallic, keeping everything cold and eerie. Cracked frozen ground deepens the damp earthiness and a silvery, translucent resin evokes remnants of the deep forest without greenery.
8ml black apothecary bottle.
