Milk + Honey ☽•☾ Botanical Perfume with Wild Veil handmade, organic honeysuckle absolute
a l c h e m y ☽•☾
Sweet milk cream and honeysuckle on vanilla-benzoin resin. Delicious curls of vetiver smoke from three varieties-- Indonesian, Sri Lankan, and Haitian-- ascend from the base. The dry down is honeyed, floral, and gourmand. Lively honeysuckle flowers appear in the form of my handmade organic absolute of my 100x Vermont honeysuckle enfleurage. Honey blooms swim in the bright, floral fruitiness of Tahitian vanilla mixed with the darker, ripe caramel of Madagascar vanilla. In the dry down it becomes an intimate, smoky sponge cake of a skin scent. The liquid version is vegan while the solid perfume has the addition of raw beeswax.

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.

Wild Veil oil perfumes are suspended in an odorless base of organic MCT coconut oil. As they do not contain water, liquid perfumes do not expire, and may improve with age. While the volatile top notes (the ones that hit your nose first) will fade after a year or more, the base and heart notes will deepen and grow more complex.

In solid perfumes this silky transparent base (above) mingles beautifully with the earthy, honey musk of organic beeswax. Raw beeswax traps the aroma molecules, releasing them over time for an intimate experience.

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.
