🕯️ The Inspiration: Folk Horror
Sacrificing the harvest to the old gods; dried straw, ancient wood, and a flickering fire. The Wicker Man is the Cult version. It amplifies the Dry Grass and Smoke. It is spiritual, dark, and pagan.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Smoke and Straw
The scent opens with Pink Pepper. The heart is Dried Gramineae and Olive Wood. The base is Incense and Birch Tar. It is sacred.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Resin
-
Labdanum: Sticky, sweet, and earthy resin of the scrubland.
-
Birch Tar (Trace): For a hint of a pagan fire.
🧠 The Scent Psychology: Devotion
Smoky dry scents command silence and awe. The Wicker Man is meditative.

💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"It haunts you. The smell of a dry field turned into a sacrificial pyre. Dark, holy, and intense."
