White Woods ☽•☾ botanical fragrance
a l c h e m y ☽•☾
Woodsy vanilla. Madagascar vanilla brings out the sweet facets of white cedar wood. Warm, stirring, and unfolding in complex waves like layers of a winter forest warmed by sunshine. Tangy yuzu teases out the delicate citrus aroma trapped deep in the wood. The sweet thaw. Mellow, green, and herbaceous linaloe wood melds with the leather and sweetness in vanilla, enhancing white cedar's aromatic and floral magic. Although it only contains four botanicals, don't be fooled-- White Woods has the depth of a composition with many more ingredients, thanks to the interlocking nature of plant essences. Warm yet wintry. For any gender. Vegan. Color may vary.

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.
