Dark resin creature from the fire
An absolutely dark fire burns here and smokes away...
I see a huge cauldron on this fire, in which bitter roots, resins and tree bark are boiling and bubbling in a brew... The bubbling intensifies, more and more bubbles and space rise, and a mysterious giant resin creature rises from the cauldron out of this smoke and majestically spreads its wings... It shakes itself dry and seems to grow even bigger. Although I have great respect for it, I feel wordlessly invited to hold on to the wings of the winged creature, to ride on its back and fly with it in and through the smoking darkness... Deep below us, very deep down, flowers bloom, their scent carried to me by the smoke, somewhere sweet and bitter nard oil is boiling and steaming. The scent of galbanum rises from green meadows very deep down... Now we are flying downwards, and whales emerge from the sea, bowing to the dark king of the skies and the resin abysses...
-----
This dark green elixir has it all and has nothing whatsoever to do with what some people here might associate as millefleurs flowers.
Starts tart-bitter, smoky-spicy-resins. Very bitter medicine, root tinctures, but not only, due to the smoky note. Nicely spicy cumin. Cedar resin, tar.
Later it becomes drier and dark ambergris appears. The spiciness becomes less dense and releases more nuances: very slightly sweet nard, a little galbanum. In the drydown, beautiful spicy-dark patchouli and moss. I am fascinated by this dark dynamic and the wealth of smoky, animalic, resinous and spicy notes.

I would like to quote from the description in the online store because I find it so fitting: "Skins, whales, a stable on the beach. Deep smokiness, lots of spice. [...] Bubbling resins, pine resins, birch resins, fir resins, cedar resins, oud resins! Cumin floats through balsams. Far away are blossoms. Far away. Peat smoke, fire, salt. Can salt burn? Medicinal root tinctures. [...] Humus Calamus. Angelica with galbanum in patchouli decoction. Nagarmothism. Shards of clay. Mess.
[...] And skins. Beaver skins spread out on moss.
Truly not a scent for the faint-hearted.
For all people who are not yet familiar with my Essences - Millefleurs range:
The Millefleurs are structured differently to my 'normal' creations.
Over the course of a year, I collect hundreds of good accords. These are carefully and appropriately blended by me and make up about 50-60% of a millefleur. The remaining content is usually filled up in the last week of the year, just by nose, with high-quality oils, tinctures, CO2 extracts and absolutes. No scales, no notes, no reproduction."

Please note: My statement under "Essences - Millefleures Dark | N-O-A-M"
applied to this 2023 version, which was not yet listed. Would have been a shame to delete the discussions there again.
With my fascination for smoke and fire, I am delighted to have got hold of one of the bottles and to be able to immerse myself in this fascinating world again and again... The flight takes a few hours.

This sin leads to heaven
Ingenious: here, "my sin" does not lead to ruin, but directly to heaven, a very sensual fragrance heaven at any rate. What need is there for another?
The word "sin" (Sin) has nothing to do with sense or sensuality, but with "but", to separate...

Your star
Imagine...
Far up in the infinite expanse of the sky stands your star, shining around you from a nameless distance... You can open yourself to this radiance at the top of your head... From there, it scatters magic silver powder over you and shines around...
