Fragrance description

A point of impermanence
...like a water droplet
freshly fallen from a leaf of a tree
onto a high point of its root
yet to fall to the earth
ready to be soaked in
A sense of free will still remains...
Which direction will it fall?
A sense of calm sets in.
The overwhelming pull of gravity,
The free fall, now over,
A free will gained.

- C.B. Wells

The artist soul Christele Jacquemin has created a fragrance that helps to realize what is imperfect, that shows the fragility of existence and the transience of this world. From the other side, this indicates what we should focus on.

Impermanence is an unusual fresh fragrance that brings good energy and brightness with a fresh breeze of citrus (bergamot), combined with ginger (I love!) and hinoki (a tree, Japanese cypress that reminds me a bit of the smell of lemongrass). I imagine myself walking barefoot on the dewy grass in the garden in the morning, surrounded by INTENSE greenery and CITRUS. So lush!

The citrus accord is amped up with some rosemary (adds an herbaceous feel), palmarosa (soft and green) with a hint of rose (can't smell, honestly). It all sits on a base of mate and vetiver, with mate predominating. All of this together makes for a very energetic and natural smelling blend, perfect for spring and summer and anytime you want to pause and enjoy the beauty of nature. It will not be just a moment as the longevity is very good.

I know there are a lot of bad things that surround us every day, especially since 2020, but remember, we are here for a while, so let's enjoy our lives with joy, focus on positive things and dedicate ourselves to the people we love.
