Comforting Paths in Autumn; Trails of Golden Rays

Warm resin of sweet suns warms the crumbly earth crusts that form on the ground. They lie there like small breadcrumbs between the individual grasses, stretching in ambered paths somewhere between the dried lush fields.
The leaves of the trees shine in red-golden colors, while bees still buzz here and there, flying around and busily completing their work in the last blooms of the past summer days, before the rich yellow nectar bursts from the hives and gradually the tranquility of the quiet season sets in.
Pollen winds flow around, leaving a spicy hint of coziness in the air before they disappear into the waxed shells of falling acacias.
The aura of this place is radiant, just like the Osmanthus that blooms in rich sweetness, reinforcing the shimmer of days gone by before the last autumn light will extinguish.

Path (of the Pollinator) is a limited project by Ananda Wilson, who produces her perfumes from 100% natural ingredients in small seasonal batches.
Path begins with dry spicy resin, amber, and an intense waxy density of honey, which together with Osmanthus is responsible for a light animalic note. This initially seems somewhat disharmonious, but over time the fragrance opens up to a very radiant and beautiful autumn companion that provides calm and warmth. Acacia and Opoponax contribute to a mild and quite pleasant sweetness.
Path has a pleasant, albeit rather delicate sillage and surrounds the wearer with a spicy warm aura for a good half day.

Beeswax as one of the last sources of natural animal products is definitely underrated among enthusiasts.
Thank you for the description!

A wonderful and somewhat anticipatory description of Indian Summer in all its glory! Such a fragrance is definitely worth a try, especially because of the associations it evokes! Great presentation!

Very informative review.
Thank you for that! ;)
So far, I only know 'Key' from Gather, which is still my forest reference to this day.
Since I always enjoy wax/honey notes, it just landed on my wishlist. :)

Sure!
With your last sentence - you’ve got me even more hooked now ;) - thanks for the detailed, personal explanation!

Thanks for the accompaniment. Key wasn't my key back then, but I think you can rarely go wrong with Gather. Path has a slight amber sparkle that reminds me of The Dark Side.

Path is VERY great, just like your description. I really like the breadcrumb thing (it's always a bit sensual). I tested the 5/21, and thank goodness I found a little bit left now. Honey mead is not too much, a very lovely scent.

Definitely not too sweet :-) I can smell a bit of wine too.

It really stays on the edge, so it doesn't get TOO sweet and sticky. I also enjoy following the breadcrumb trails :)

Sounds very intriguing! Is the honey more on the sweet side, or does it have a spicy, yellow-animalistic character?

More the latter. Definitely not gourmand.

That sounds like an authentic beehive. Zoologists Bee didn't really appeal to me, but I usually find honey scents very lovely. Maybe I'll give it a try.

I can definitely recommend it. A lovely resinous nectar scent. Without being too sweet/gourmand.
