S. Elizabeth, author of the prolific perfume blog, Midnight Stinks, wrote an inspired, poetic review of our new Lilac release! If you’re not familiar with her work, she is a fragrance devotee who has a knack for coordinating beautiful artwork with her prose scent impressions. If you’re into following the latest of indie/niche and other unusual fragrances, I urge you to join her Patreon account. With her permission, I’m sharing it with you here:

“Air & Weather Lilac: Purple hedge clusters, tiny white woodland bells dissolved to mist at daybreak’s soft, drowsy threshold. Salt-tinged vapors drift landward, cool and questing, ruffled wisps drifting low, just outside the curtains. An atmosphere like tentative hope, like hushed waiting, like a held breath. A lingering musk, gentle, scarcely perceptible, threading through the stillness. Sun lifts the morning, a brightening shift parts the grey, the air begins to ease and warm; with apologies to Emily Dickinson… not knowing when the Dawn will come, I throw open every window.”
