Castle

Castle ☽•☾ tarot perfume

a l c h e m y ☽•☾

A symbol of protection and isolation, the castle is a stone, wood, and metal fortress holding secret treasure. Family jewels and history, tapestries woven of precious textiles, and a spice room piled high with golden, amber, and chestnut toned botanicals. Notes: deglet noor dates, saffron, pistachio, black roses, cardamom, chestnut, flint, stone, and mahogany. Castle is an aromatic interpretation of the Tower in the major arcana of the tarot.

Wild Veil natural perfumes are composed by me, Abby, using homemade, wildcrafted and organic aromatics in Vermont. These include my handmade enfleurage, tinctures, enfleurage extraits, absolutes, resinoids and concretes, and floral waxes. I spend as much time growing plants and foraging as I do composing perfumes.

The best way to experience a natural perfume is to apply it to well-moisturized skin, without rubbing in (absorption only shortens the wear time of fragrance) and without scrubbing off. Natural perfumes are dynamic and take a minimum of 2 hours to reach their final stage, or dry down. Enjoy the alchemical changes as they unfold from the initial intensity of top notes, to the warmth of the heart, to the depth of lower base notes.
