STRANGE DREAMER

desert opal • ancient ambergris • black propolis • dream musk

An opal shimmers in endless desert sand, a magic mirror asks a question; strange dreamer, who are you? Quintessential skin-perfume, overflowing with rare, shimmering animalics. Wear standalone or as a fragrance enhancer. A dream musk. 

Material Rarity: I make my own tinctures of ambergris stone, hyraceum stone, and propolis resin — precious, hard-to-source materials. Though rarely encountered in abundance, I use them here in lavish amounts. This is an ode to natural musks and a true treasure of a perfume.

Perfumer's Note

Early in my learning perfumery, I had never smelled ambergris, only read descriptions and histories. I dreamed of ambergris in the middle of a desert, the site of an ancient ocean that had since receded. Baking in the sun so long it had turned partially to opal. Glinting in the light, changing color with the fits of the wind. When I eventually smelled ambergris and experienced its effect, I was only even more enamored.

Strange Dreamer became the vessel for all of the animalics and musks I love and find so mysterious. Their presence is not only in scent but in effect, a blurring of their animalic musk and your own, a movement and depth that comes alive on skin. Not a booming scent but a transformation of skin radiance, something entirely your own.

If you're looking for perfume that consumes the room and lingers for days, this is NOT the perfume for you.

I don’t use synthetics engineered to be unchanging, or fragrance extenders that force a scent to linger. Instead, I let nature do its thing: evolve, decompose, and transform.

Natural perfume is meant to be savored while it lasts, then reapplied throughout the day whenever your senses crave it — a sensory ritual, an open invitation.

Note: Color from natural pigments may vary batch to batch and may stain.
