🕸️ The Inspiration: Abandoned Garden
A garden after a frost; cold iron, withered peonies, and the silence of a forgotten past. The Withered Peony is the Gothic version. It mixes the Ginger with Dust, Cold Air, and Wilted Greens. It is melancholic and haunting.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Fog and Bone
The scent opens with Cold Mist Accord. The heart is Wilted Peony and Bitter Ginger. The base is Vetiver and Dust Accord. It is haunting.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Dark
-
Cypriol: Smoky, earthy, inky note for a dark depth.
-
Rose Oxide: For a metallic, blood-like cold floral edge.
🧠 The Scent Psychology: Mystery
Cold smoky florals signal secrets and time passing. The Withered Peony is cinematic.

💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"It smells like a memory frozen in the glass. Dust, ice, and the ghost of a rose. Beautifully tragic."
