Description

Oh, keepers of time
the ones that tenderly shuffle it
to and fro

Memories of hearts and bones and
bloodlines
that go hazy for a while
but then
that lilac tree alone in a field 

An echo (a reverberation?) 
of the one planted by my
great-grandmother

Is this how black & white photographs bloom color?
Does time-travel have a scent?

The aching crescendo 
of all fleeting moments
right here and now

 

Perfumer(s): Max Turk

 

Notes: an impression of lilacs in bloom

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
