ALCHEMY
wonders of sunshine gold essence
leaking in like the quietest raindrops
see how her subtle complexity fades and emerges
in the brightest shiniest way.
by Juliana Margit Miller
written in response to ALCHEMY solid perfume by Aftelier Perfumes
Scent Family: Floral Oriental
Designer description: A floral heart swathed in amber and vanilla, with bitter orange and black pepper top notes. Created early in my career from the most popular top, middle, and base notes from my custom work. I wanted to make a perfume using the finest essences, of aromas most people love dearly.
Featured Notes:
Top: black pepper, bitter orange.
Heart: rose, jasmine.
Base: vanilla, amber.
Packaging: One full ounce of sterling silver makes this beautiful handmade compact, designed by Aftelier Perfumer Mandy Aftel. The compact is presented in your choice of an orange or purple silk pouch.
Scent Experience: A tangy citrus opening gives way to a full floral bouquet drying down to a gorgeous rich warm vanillic amber. Alchemy speaks of fire and warmth, of sweet evenings and golden sunrises. Rich, and sweet Alchemy is sure to please lovers of quality natural complex fragrances. Aftelier’s solid perfumes are silky and lovely to apply typically lasting longer than the same as an an alcohol based perfume.
Disclosure: Aftelier’s perfumes are all naural. Perfume Pharmer was afforded a sample for review.
