A candle-lit portrait of delight and shadows, still life and snuffed spirits; golden orchard fruit with waxen, powdery overtones, rich & warm amber, and the scent of leatherbound tomes over a base of antique wood.

Under the diffuse glow of flickering candlelight, Vanitas takes its form; a shadowy portrait suspended in time, where the viscid nectar of forgotten fruit mingles with the remnants of melted wax on the worn surface of an aged work bench. The air is thick, rich with the aromas of fresh bread and melted flowers, powdered with dust and the perfume of decay. A gilded tableau, marked by soot and charred wicks.

Notes of: yesterday's fruit under flickering candlelight; cascades of wax, pooled and set in the ridges of a worn wooden workbench. Warm bread and wilted flowers. A gilded spread, peppered in the soot of bent and burnt wicks. Leather-bound volumes powdered with the dust of time slowly passing, laced with the perfume of imminent decay. 

Choose between a 15 mL Eau de Parfum and 1.5 mL sample with spray top.
