fable || rune / lotion - herbarium

To grow a garden is similar to building a fragrance; both are an exercise rooted in traditions. While honoring the ancestral knowledge, you must understand the craft to create something that will flourish. But within that realm of artistry there is always space for rebellion. Allowing the plants to show you their spirit and how they want to be revealed, where they want to be planted, who they want to dance with, and relishing in the honor of being picked and preserved. While building this fragrance, we were guided by the plants - drawing on the ancestral invitation to be allies with nature, to hear them speak, and creating our own Herbarium. 

Herbarium is a scent that expresses the full complexity of a garden in late bloom, still effervescent and wild, but calling to be harvested, plucked, and preserved. The scent carries a bright stream of sunshine dancing with vibrant Fennel. Damp Earth slowly starts to warm, as you harvest a handful of lush Basil. Rockrose brings a maternal softness while Carrot Root and pale yellow Hayfields create an astral connection to the unpredictability of wild plants. Each opening up to a new day, shifting towards the sun, sharing a different spirit then they had before. Vetiver refines and intertwines the fragrance, bringing the ground and the sky together. Tilled Earth and the Cedar reminds us of the ancestry and abundance found in our planet’s soil and the origins of these sacred plants.
