An underground dragon's lair
I never wear atmospherics yet I’m always tempted to try Fantome’s, because in my opinion it’s what they do best. So I picked this up wondering, “What does an underground dragon’s lair smell like?” This. It smells like this. I smell damp cave walls, earthy soil, and something mineral and slightly metallic, evoking a dragon’s horde, or maybe that’s the “dragon scales” note. This mineral/metallic note fades in the dry down, but doesn’t disappear, and the scent becomes dominated by wet earth, then wet stone, then dry earth. A must-try for the indie atmospheric lover.

Objectively an impressive scent and fascinating scent journey, but again, not something I would ever wear.

The cave of the green glittering dragon
In Bune's garden, the roots grow upwards and glow green in the dark, as if they were conducting light from the subsoil into the night. If you want to know why they do this, you plunge through tall stalks of grasses that smell rosy, of herbs and pine, of balsam, turpentine, and camphor, as if they don't know who they are. Beneath them, pale roots bend like glistening rhizomes and tiny mycelia, hissing with citrusy bright voices a pearly petrichor promise of access to a cavern far down in the depths of the Earth.
There, moist minerals flow as fresh rock droplets on the smooth walls, heat billows in dark vapors, soft barks rot. Don't be afraid. Through the musty clay creeps a shimmering dragon, with green glittering scales projecting many thousand points of light from smoldering grass, ethereal smoky vetivers illuminating all the roots from within, drawing minty pictures in Bune's garden mulch. To some the earth now glows sweet fruit, to most sweet grass smokes the roots of night.
**
Fantôme is a small company based on the Washington state coast, run by Bree and Megan Elliott, who handcraft their fragrances in small batches. By their own admission, they are always working to have their large selection of fragrances always available.
"Bune," the knowing three-headed dragon (one of them human) who commands legions of spirits, can move the dead and rally devils around their graves, but also brings wisdom to humans, begins with the aforementioned notes of palmarosa grasses and pale roots. Soon the herbaceous, musty earth of nagarmotha grass reveals itself, its vetiver-like ethereal smoke soon creating the impression of mint-soaked bark mulch. At times, the sweetly fruity davana shines through. The dragon glistens moderately to skin deep for a good eight to nine hours.

Smells like an underground dragon’s lair. Damp cave walls, earthy soil, and something mineral and slightly metallic.

This smells like pickle brine. It doesn't continue to be as strong, the atmospheric cave air comes thru soon but that opening is eerie

Free sample with my order, never would've chosen it on my own, but I'm SO into it! Cool, delicious mist.

Phew! Davana bolstered by nagarmotha. Spicy, dank, very unique. I technically like Kupala more but it's close. Throw from elbow goes crazy.
