Natural luxury perfume-- Made to order, each bottle is formulated and poured by hand
100% Vegan, never tested on animals
No BHT, no parabens, no phthalates
The scent at a glace: Spicy top backed by sweet, warm woods
Prominent notes: Sweet Orange, White Pepper, Black Pepper, Sweet Amber, Labdanum, Musk & Cedar
This scent evolves over time:
In the first 2 hours of wear you will smell the clean, sharp spice of pepper.
After approximately 2 hours the pepper melts into a base of sweetly toned woody notes.
The smell is lightweight, clean, and quite sophisticated. Unique & not heavy or musty. It smells uplifting, not overpowering.
A universal, unisex smell. Should complement most people well
(Although ordering a sample first is highly advisable!)
In testing, Caesium lasted 24+ hours on a test strip.
Expect strong scent for 8+/- hours.
After 8 hours the scent will fade to something lighter and more subtle

Personal Musing:
This fragrance has dual meaning to me,
1. Caesium is my favorite element, the final smell I created is what I imagine the smell of caesium to be; harsh and metallic to take in at first, but eventually melting into a liquid gold- sweet honeyed amber woods
2. The dual meaning relates to the element caesium itself. Though completely unseen, we couldn't live our modern lives without it. It is ubiquitous and essential, but in another context could be seen as overused.
Caesium is actually my ultra-cynical interpretation of modern men's fragrance. Every new cologne seems to be centered around one of a few common tropes. I combined all of them to make this lol. The opening is sharp, harsh, pungent, and extremely diffusive. It's stereotypical masculinity bottled. The base is simply an amalgamation of common musks with a heavy dosing of sugar to make the wood and amber notes softer and more pleasing.
Specifically the base is actually a replication of a smell I encounter when walking through any crowded space, particularly an area with teenage boys. Its composition is everything at once, a jungle juice of every overused bottom note in modern perfumery. What you smell in the dry down is basically up to interpretation, as it is likely to remind you of every cologne currently available at your local mall.
This has come full circle on me, because now whenever I'm in public it smells like every guy is wearing my fragrance, even though they obviously are not. My sister's ex-boyfriend had himself a whole collection of cheap mall garbage- every time I met him he smelled like the characteristic f***boy, and some part of the fragrance he would be wearing that day would smell exactly like some part of Caesium
This isn't a bad-smelling fragrance! It isn't generic either. It's a cynical combination of cologne tropes I used to create a smellable interpretation of my favorite element. I hope you find love and irony in every spray :)
Does NOT contain: Dyes, Parabens, Phthalates, or BHT
Please note! The amount of time the perfume lasts is the SAME regardless of whether you use one spray or the whole bottle (please don't use the whole bottle at once)
The difference is not in lasting power, but the STRENGTH of scent and how far that scent will travel.
(Meaning if you did use an entire bottle at once, you could, quite literally, be smelled from a mile away. Although I have yet to test that.)
You are a human, not a test strip! Although a perfume may last 100 hours on a piece of paper, that doesn't mean that perfume will last that long on you!
If you apply the perfume to your skin or anywhere it can easily be rubbed off, it is sure to last no longer than 12 hours---
To maximize longevity I recommend spraying the perfume onto your clothes- particularly things that aren't washed often like coats or even shoes. (Make sure it won't stain first!!) Customers have reported their fragrances lasting a month on their clothing, even after going through the washing machine*
