Sibérie Perfumes siberieperfumes.etsy.com/ (the ETSY store is currently unavailable but the wonderful owner IS taking orders at her personal site) siberieperfume.indiemade.com/content/artisan-perfume-made-love-magic-alchemy -This selection is one that first called to me with a magnetic name and quickly became one that had me asking "where have you been all my life?" with one of the listed notes (PATCHOULI). This is another unique perfume that proved to me the importance of exploring unfamiliar realms of scent (you never know what you may like or know when you will be reminded of something special you lost). Too good to not share and deserves a special label of TREASURED/FEATURED. Brava Sibérie! BOLEYN- Listed Notes: (Dark Cocoa, Caramel, Patchouli, French Vanilla, Myrrh, Labdanum, Frankincense) Combined Thoughts: BOLEYN by Sibérie Perfumes truly aims to win your favor and for me she did just that with an elegant spicy throw that lasted an impressive 12+ hours. This is one fragrance that has me feeling confident, nostalgic and I can't hide a secret little smile when I walk into a room. A real complex blend that has quickly become a personal favorite. Don't be afraid of any unfamiliar notes in this regal beauty, this perfume displays the best of the unique described scents and depending on the curious the dark cocoa, caramel, vanilla with patchouli and lingering whispers of amber laced resins all weaves the most irresistible spell from the lost past. Overall, a strangely beautiful ode to a maligned figure of history and fascinating legends that still inspires and rules the world's imagination. What drew me and what I was hoping for: While quickly realising that on ETSY you can find practically anything, one afternoon I thought I would press my luck and try to search for historical themed perfumes, BOLEYN was among the top results. Reading the listed notes I became even more convinced I needed to try this as one of the notes was PATCHOULI a mysterious word that I had come across in numerous types of fiction and one in particular (oddly enough titled The Memory Of Scent) described this note in such passionate verse that I admit I have been dying to find an opportunity to try this scent ever since reading those pages. The dark cocoa, caramel, french vanilla and resins were just an added bonus along of course with anything associated to Anne Boleyn (one of my favorite names to read about). So with all that in mind when I made my first order on ETSY from this shop I made sure I asked if I could try a sample of BOLEYN (I was slightly cautious still having one horribly disappointing experience with another popular indie perfume shop just that week so I didn't order a full bottle at that moment, don't worry it wasn't SIBERIE or ALKEMIA and to be respectful to difference of opinion I will not reveal the name or mention it again). In the vial: One of the most gorgeous complex SPICE smells I have ever encountered, I can clearly detect the luscious DARK COCOA dusting with CARAMEL. There is this different but very comforting note I am getting that is making me smile. All good signs. Applied: Oh there is that alluring and comforting note again now and it really likes my skin, what is that? I know I have smelled this before and twines so elegantly with the sweeter notes. This perfume is very suggestive and it's easy to imagine Anne Boleyn confidently walking into a private chapel (brought to mind by the familiar frankincense and myrrh) on a grey overcast autumn day and kneeling amongst the dusty books and dirt collected on the stone floor that's it, it's antiqued earth, like exploring old houses or one of my favorite childhood hiding spots. It's a marvelous refined spicy almost smoky earthy scent that is beautifully matched with the dark cocoa, caramel and french vanilla. I love this, where has this been all my life? This is truly unique with a regal quality of yesteryear and we shall never be apart again. Words that come to mind: Autumn Queen, regal spice, confident, mystery, aloof siberieperfumes.etsy.com/ *(the ETSY store is currently unavailable but the wonderful owner IS taking orders at her personal site and fall is right around the corner a perfect time to get your scarves and wraps prepared with magical aromas that stay with you and become a part of you or stock up and perfectly age some scents for next spring and summer (remember the longer they sit the better) Don't forget about samples: this shop also generously allows small vials of different listed perfumes that range from medieval, bohemian, gothic inspired to historical and beyond along with a full bottle order. And don't hesitate to ask questions or for suggestions from this owner if you aren't sure about what might work for you or even how to wear perfume oils. It never hurts to ask. siberieperfume.indiemade.com/content/artisan-perfume-made-love-magic-alchemy Comments are closed.
