A concept perfume inspired by the album by Greg Spalenka and Michelle Barnes about the 13th century mystic Vespertina. The fragrance was orchestrated around rose and other supporting floral notes which aligned well with what I know of the heroines devotional nature and feminine qualities. Since the female character is a visionary mystic I wove in some of the precious essences associated with this archetype as well as heightened consciousness; lotus, frankincense and Mysore sandalwood.
Vespertina™ is a floral + incense fragrance with a sophisticated feel.

☽•☾ F R A G R A N C E
⚘ The opening of this fragrance is inviting notes of spice and orange blossom followed by a heart of roses and jasmine with frankincense, precious oud and vintage sandalwood at the base. The sandalwood is from an old growth tree which had fallen in the forest of Mysore India. Each of these essences is meticulously chosen and then blended together as a synergy. The synergistic formula is aged then added to a base of organic jojoba oil and beeswax, with my own handcrafted tincture of Frankincense resin.
⚘ A mysterious floral concept perfume, weaving in the different elements surrounding the story of a 14th century mystic named Vespertina from the music CD The Visions of Vespertina.

FROM FANS and Perfume CRITICS:
Meaning “Evening”, Vespertina is a glorious, floral scent with rich veins of spice. Its construction is absolutely marvelous, with top notes that you’ll want to chase after like fleeting dreams, floral heart notes so deep they make you feel like you can get lost in their nuances forever, and spicy, woody base notes that linger comfortingly on the skin until the skin’s own beauty shines through. ~ Divina, Fragrance Bouquet Blog
BOTANICAL PERFUME
⚘ In the same tradition of the gourmet artisan culinary arts, I make these nature fragrances by hand using the highest quality natural raw materials. All these perfumes are made with essential oils, co2 extracts, absolutes and my very own plant infusions. The beeswax is from my hives or other holistically minded, west coast bee guardians.
⚘ There is quite a lot of smoke and mirrors with the words "natural", "botanical", etc. I have a blog post about it at my journal. I wish people wouldn't lie, we live in a dualistic reality which is currently run by greed, and thus so it is.
⚘ No synthetic, animal, phthalate or paraben materials — completely cruelty free with no animal testing by me or my suppliers.
