Sunsmoke Oil Cologne – Natural Tobacco, Yuzu, and Aged Wood

A small batch: an oil version of Sunsmoke. Same olfactory experience as my Sunsmoke solid and Sunsmoke atomizer, different format.

A bonfire on a wild beach. Smoke, citrus and blossoms, precious woods—and through it all, fine tobacco whispers “come closer.”

Notes: leaf tobacco, juicy yuzu citrus, cade (smoky prickly juniper), mimosa blossoms, tonka bean tincture, oakmoss, lavender absolute.

Opens with lapsang souchong-like smoke and juicy perfumed citrus, and wears to a lush, delicious leaf tobacco, and finishes with honeyed precious woods. Sexy, quiet, and persistent.

Packaged in a heavy clear glass 6 ml bottle with steel roller ball and black metal cap, in a muslin bag, alongside an info card, or as a 0.5 ml sample in a 1+ ml vial.

This cologne is all-natural, made from essential oils, botanical absolutes, and tinctures in a base of oil. No synthetics, period. This close range cologne will keep near to your body and will evolve as you wear it. Because this perfume contains no synthetic fixatives, it will not linger as long as conventional perfumes — reapply every few hours or as often as you like, as an olfactory ritual. This perfume is rich in botanical ingredients. If you have concerns about allergies, consider a patch test or speak to your doctor. As with any product, discontinue use if you experience irritation or sensitivity.



ABOUT PRIYA MEANS LOVE PERFUMES:

I never had a habit of wearing perfume until making my own, because of synthetics, which are ubiquitous in the perfume industry. Synthetics lend perfumes a heavy, jangly quality — they're the reason that perfume tends to smother an entire room and linger forever, and they're responsible for masking a person's own unique, delicious, human scent. Over the last decade I've found that synthetic perfumes make me feel physically ill as well, exacerbating my fibromyalgia, and I'm far from alone in this sensitivity.

My perfumes are different — they are utterly all natural, made only from botanical essential oils, handmade tinctures, and absolutes, most of which are organic or wildharvested, in a base of grain alcohol or organic jojoba oil. No synthetic fragrances, nitromusks, pthalates, or fillers — no synthetics, period, in keeping with everything I make.

These scents are designed to be close range perfumes — close to the skin, they are to be enjoyed by you in an unexpected drift of scent as you turn your head or at a gesture, and by those who have the privilege to be very near you. They are clean, soft, and intimate — they say 'come closer.'

I aim to make true perfumes, complex blends that paint an olfactory picture, with lingering, close-to the skin base notes, fulsome heart notes, and effervescent head notes. Natural perfumes build on the ultimate base note of your own skin — they will smell different, and evolve differently, on each wearer. This perfume is rich in botanical ingredients, so if you have concerns about allergies, consider a patch test or speak to your doctor, and feel free to contact me if you have any concerns.

Unlike synthetic perfumes, natural perfumes unfold over time — initially you experience the head notes, then the heart, and over time the base notes linger on the skin for hours. I love this dynamic quality, how the scent is constantly evolving, never monotonous — and I like how this changing sensory input makes you take notice of the moments as they pass by. Because this perfume contains no synthetic fixatives, it will not linger as long as conventional perfumes — reapply every few hours, or as you please, as an olfactory ritual, rooting you in the present moment.

I make these perfumes with a sense of wonder and reverence for the magic of aromatic plants. I hope you feel a sense of wonder and beauty wearing it.
