The Buds for Spring Are Already in the Eyes of the Falling Leaves in Autumn
Samhain is the beginning of the new year, November 1, according to the ancient Irish pre-Christian calendar.
Here, the days coincide with the Christian days "All Souls' Day and All Saints' Day, Halloween" - this is certainly no coincidence - which cover the old cycle of the year and the rituals. Thus, as a Christian, I can also respect and honor the memories of the old magical faith as something that has been hidden beneath for ages and is still dreamt of by many - as I know.
The natural scents from "Wonderchest Perfums," NY, from the series "Wheel for the Year" are meant to reflect each of the ancient Irish festivals. Ms. Brodskaya's fragrances are made from natural oils and essences. If alcohol is present in the scents, it is distilled purely from grains. The perfumes have a traditional feel yet are pleasant, natural, and in my opinion still unique and beautiful with interesting developments. Above all, they are very long-lasting for natural scents, lasting six to twelve hours on me. It is essential to have patience and to wait for the development even with less differentiated scents.
"Samhain" truly begins for me like November. Dark-earthy, woody, fresh-cold, and smelling slightly of musty woody myrrh, yes, faintly of moldy earthy dust. I especially perceive this after the alcohol has evaporated, close to the skin. Above all, there is also a distinct dry-woody-strict cinnamon note.
But after a short time, a restrained fine floral note rises with the sillage, smelling of chamomile, citrusy, with the cinnamon taking a step back.
Upon checking the listed ingredients, I suspect that the dusty-earthy note could refer to old dried lavender, herb, and flower stems that have been hanging in the room for a while.
With the emergence of the floral scent blend, a powdery geranium note transforms "Samhain" into a more restrained woody-floral and creamy scent, mixed with the earthy scent that I often smell, especially at the beginning of winter when frost and cold are just beginning to announce themselves, and the life in the soil releases corresponding exhalations into the air to prepare for the coming winter. Nature "knows" in advance when winter comes.
But also that it will inevitably be spring again someday. If you look closely at perennials, trees, and shrubs, you can already see the buds for the next sprouting among the approaches of the already colorful leaves in the coming months. There are also at least bud formations on the eyes of the already fallen leaves. Similarly, you can see buds and shoot formations on coniferous trees.
This seems to be very intentionally and accurately sketched with the perfume "Samhain." The retreat of nature and the passing of the old year with the hope for new growth and blooming, scents. But also for the time of warmth and lights in the dwellings, the scents of spices, here indicated by cinnamon and the hinted coniferous scent that "Samhain" points to.
"Samhain" is a restrained scent, the sillage dims quickly. But after about 12 hours on the sprayed wrist, I smell a faint dark-woody-earthy scent. And like a sign of hope, there is still a hint of creamy floral scent, close to the skin.
A Halloween scent for those who celebrate the festival in the old sense?
