It must smell something like this when the witch gathers her ingredients for her magical brew. The witch has also become modern and business-savvy; she no longer throws away the leftovers but bottles them up instead. This way, she can always offer her customers, who are in search of a potion, something new. At least that’s what the customers believe. In reality, however, the old brew matures into ever new scent experiences. The witch knows transformation and the resulting recurring Aha effect and cleverly exploits it for her own benefit.
Oud needs to mature, and with maturity, the scent changes; what was once quite herbal has become more lemony today. Does the witch know how the fragrance will smell in some time? It is surely her secret. I’ll let myself be surprised...
Oh, Nard! That's rare - funny actually, because Maria Magdalena used it to anoint Jesus' feet. I have an essential nard oil that smells very intense, sweet, and somehow rooty-spicy. Definitely compatible with perfumes!
