Perfume with special techniques and smell of rotten wood
Caregiver uses a special technique rather than using alcohol-base, common among all other perfumes.

In terms of fragrance, it gives off different scents on skin than on clothes. On skin, the smell of rotten woods dominates and lingers for hours. The bitterness and coldness are sharp and distinct on skin. However, on clothes, the fragrance is softer and sweeter compared with that on skin and you can smell a bit of violet or some sorts of floral scent, absent on skin. The floral scent stays fairly short, unfortunately.

As to the inspiration about Greek mythology, I don't think Caregiver could represent the vibe of Demeter. Demeter is the goddess of harvest and agriculture, while Caregiver gives off the smell of some dark forest with decayed leaves and animal bones. Caregiver's vibe somehow resembles that of Artemis, the goddess of moon and hunting in Greek mythology since we generally associate coldness with moon.

Overall, Caregiver is a well-structured perfume but hardly can a person think of occasions to wear it.

You settle down
At the roots of the grasses
Feel the warming earth
Your skin turns to leather
Look at the sky
Above you
And
Below it

And again we have a light indole
This time with neroli
I wonder how they manage to do that with such subtle scents.

I wonder where the animalistic note comes from that hovers over the resinous-spicy sweetness.

It's not quite simple: resinous notes blend immediately with subtle indolic floral notes and cinnamon, which also feels unique here.

Winding and slippery. Sweetly creamy. Hesitant. Colorless. Who are you, what do you want? To not stand out anywhere? Successful. Incredibly boring.

It's kind of strange: sometimes I think I smell oak moss (a hint of Chypre?), then again it has a resinous scent °°°

Elemiharz, cinnamon, and sesame create a warm, sweet scent that feels too tame for me, almost boring.

Very herbal scent - I'm usually not a fan of that but I like this one. Balanced spices and earthy notes. Tonka bean rounds it off.
