What smelled good in winter doesn’t quite work in spring anymore. The wind of change is in the air — together with rain and sun, the smell of grass, wet earth, and the things that appear once the snow melts.
People change their shoes, their hairstyles, decide that “this time for sure” or “never again.”
All winter I was wrapped in rum, leather, and coffee with licorice, occasionally swapping them for the spices of an orient bazaar. But now I’ve been swept away by galbanum.
The smell of the first bitter greenery. Burdock. Sharpness and drama.
Galbanum grows in Iran, and the europeans buy the raw material on an industrial scale and produce an aroma that is incredibly powerful and fresh.
Galbanum is mentioned in the Old Testament — it symbolizes the unrepentant sinners in the sacred incense for the Temple. All the other ingredients had a sweet scent, and only galbanum stood out with its bright bitter aroma. After all, you can’t do without sinners. Just as you can’t do without the bitterness of galbanum in beautiful perfumes.
It shines in Chanel No. 19 together with flowers and citrus, and in the original Miss Dior.
Green Flesh is our perfume with galbanum, which bursts in at the top note. That’s the one I’ve been walking around with all week.
Have you tried galbanum? Do you like it?

🌿 “Do you know what's in your perfume?”
For a long time, I treated scents like background noise. If it smelled “nice,” that was enough. But at some point, I started noticing that my body didn’t always agree. There were moments of fatigue, irritation, a strange heaviness — and I couldn’t quite tell why.
Eventually, I realized: a scent isn’t just a smell. It’s an influence. It can disturb, exhaust, create inner tension — especially when it’s full of synthetics, things the body doesn’t quite recognize.
And then I thought: If a scent can harm — maybe it can also heal. Maybe it can support. Maybe it can be a gentle, physical way to connect with yourself — no talking, no effort, just breathing.
That’s when I started creating perfumes that don’t just “smell good,” but do something real. They gather. They ground. They bring you closer to yourself. Sometimes, they simply let you breathe — without pressure or noise.
It matters to me that what I create feels alive. That it’s about connection. About subtle support that isn’t flashy, but that your body can feel.
And if, for someone, one of my perfumes becomes an anchor, a kind of quiet support, a reminder of who they are — that, to me, is everything.
If you’re also looking for something warm, honest, and real — I’m here. We can find your scent together. Or create it — based on what really matters to you.
Because sometimes, even a tiny bottle can remind you who you are. No words needed. Just scent.

6 Hidden Ways Scent Heals Your Mind and Body (That Nobody Talks About)

1. Scent works directly with emotional memory
Fragrance bypasses logic and speaks to the limbic brain — the emotional center. One inhale can heal old wounds, spark joy, or release stuck emotions in seconds.

2. Scents calm your nervous system faster than thoughts
Even before you’re aware, your body already knows. Calming scents like lavender and sandalwood are scientifically proven to reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol.

3. Scents naturally boost your energy and mental focus
Citrus, peppermint, and rosemary stimulate alertness and help your brain shift into a focused, energized state — no caffeine needed.

4. Scents anchor new habits and emotional shifts
Pairing a scent with a habit or healing ritual creates a powerful anchor. Over time, your brain can enter a state of calm, joy, or empowerment just by inhaling that aroma.

5. Scents awaken your intuition
Every time you intuitively choose a scent, you're tuning in to your deeper desires and needs. Oils like frankincense and neroli activate alpha brainwaves, unlocking insight and connection.

6. And the most important! Using natural perfume is a fast-track to inner shifts
All it takes is applying the scent and enjoying it. From there, it begins working on a subconscious level — with no extra effort from you.

Trust your nose. It’s speaking the language of your soul.

NATURAL PERFUMES AND SUMMER.

As temperatures rise, wearing natural perfume requires a bit more care. Unlike synthetic scents, botanical fragrances evolve over time and react to heat, making application and placement important.

To avoid irritation and phototoxicity, avoid spraying natural perfumes directly on sun-exposed skin. Instead, apply them to hair, clothing, or covered areas like behind the ears or décolletage. Moisturized skin also helps the scent last longer.

Botanical perfumes aren’t tied to seasons or gender—they’re versatile and personal. A light scent can deepen with time, so test one at a time to explore its full journey.

In warmer months, choose lighter concentrations and enjoy perfumes in the morning or evening when it’s cooler. Add a few drops to body oil for a longer-lasting, gentle scent.

Ultimately, summer is the perfect time to experiment. Embrace how your fragrance transforms and find what resonates with you.

Oil-based vs Alcohol-based natural perfumes — what’s the difference?
And how do you choose what’s right for you?

🧴 Alcohol-based perfumes
These are the more familiar format. The scent opens up quickly, travels through the air, and creates a noticeable sillage — others will smell it as you move.
You can also spray it on hair and clothes, where it often lasts even longer.

Pros:

Strong projection and sillage

Bold, expressive — perfect when you want to be noticed

Versatile in application: skin, hair, clothing

Cons:
– Alcohol can stimulate the nervous system
– May feel too sharp or overwhelming if you're sensitive
– Not always the best choice during hormonal imbalances or emotional overload

🪔 Oil-based perfumes
Soft, grounding, intimate. These unfold slowly on the skin and stay close — like a quiet whisper just for you.
Perfect for moments when you need support, not stimulation.

Pros:

Calming, grounding — ideal for hormonal imbalances, anxiety, inner focus

Skin-loving and long-lasting

Sensual and private — the scent lives in your personal space

Cons:
– Very low projection — others won’t notice it unless they’re close
– Might feel too subtle if you’re used to bold scents

🌿 So which one’s for you?
Choose oils when you crave softness, presence, and connection with your body.
Choose alcohol-based when you want radiance, trail, and to share your scent with the world.

Or mix and match: bold in the morning, grounding in the evening.
There’s no rule.
Tell me, what do you prefer?

Got a great review on my Tale of Druids perfume. It's very dear to me - my full on fantasy that i created when fell in love with oakmoss scent.

PHEROMONE – an aromatic ode to magnetism and the primal power of femininity.

Rich, animalic notes of castoreum and earthy patchouli create a deep, intriguing base that captivates and entices. Sandalwood infuses the scent with velvety warmth, evoking the sensation of bare skin. Amyris adds a veil of serenity, anticipation, and sweet longing.

But it is jasmine that delivers the final note – bold, seductive, and spine-tingling. It unveils hidden desires, awakens sensuality and confidence, making the fragrance irresistible, commanding, and impossible to ignore.

PHEROMONES is more than just a perfume. It’s an invisible weapon that draws glances, sharpens desires, and lingers in memory. It’s a scent for those who don’t just enter a room – they make heads turn. 🔥

Are you ready to feel it on your skin?
Available in 5ml, 3 ml, 1ml oil based

Spring clean is here and it's time for great DIY and natural room sprays.

I love using room sprays to freshen up my space—especially during spring cleaning! 🌿 They’re super easy to make and fun to customize with different scents. Here are some of my favorite spring-inspired blends!

🌸 Blooming Citrus Room Spray

30 drops Sweet Orange

20 drops Lemon

10 drops Ylang Ylang

🌿 Herbal Breeze

25 drops Spearmint

15 drops Eucalyptus

10 drops Thyme

🍋 Zesty Fresh Home

20 drops Grapefruit

15 drops Bergamot

10 drops Rosemary

✨ How to make it:
1️⃣ Add essential oils to a spray bottle (approx. 48-72 drops for a 180ml bottle).
2️⃣ Mix with 10ml solubol (or high-proof alcohol for better blending & preservation).
3️⃣ Fill the rest with distilled water, cap, and shake gently.

💡 No solubol? Just shake before each use!
You can also use less essential oils if you opt for hydrosol instead of distilled water. And here you have no limits: rose, lavender, camomile hydrosols will smell great on your linen or in the room.
