Sweets for my sweet..
...Sugar for my marshmallow...
Does marshmallow smell? Some people ask themselves, the answer is: yes. Tart green leaves, the root - very slightly resinous, almost imperceptible citrus peaks, it is used to make cough tea or (drum roll) sweet "marshmallow dough" (usually with rose water - hence probably marsh mallow as a perfume subtitle) and the edible hibiscus flowers are used as a tart, intense tea or (drum roll) as flowers preserved in sugar and a delicious cocktail ingredient.
If you take marshmallow dough, marshmallow root and the pickled hibiscus flowers, you get a fragrant cocktail: Altea
I think it's fabulous, a little weird, you almost want to bite into it, a little musk and sweet white rose make it subtly powdery, a hint of resinous, vanilla in the background, light citrus peaks - done.
Quite a unique fragrance, I don't know of anything comparable.
Flacon is simple, functional, glass with adhesive label. Unfortunately short shelf life.
"Sweets for my Sweet, Sugar for my Honey
If you wanted a king to keep you smilin′
I'll never ever let you go!"
