"
Yet another breathtaking vessel added to my collection 🥀The virgin wh_re/Magdalene: the gorgeous & unmistakable perfume birthed from @fkatwigs and @houseofmatriarch - back in 2020, when twigs released the first edition of Magdalene I knew without a doubt I had to get my hands on it, and I’m so lucky that I did because it was love at first spray. Now, with the second release, I spent no time hesitating on purchasing my second bottle. This scent is unforgettable.Follow me as I attempt to envelop you in the scent… It opens up very strong, and stays that way too. The sillage is head turning.. Upon first spray, it’s an explosion of spikenard, it’s woody, spicy, and a touch earthy. It’ll engulf you, but don’t let it overwhelm you. When it starts to linger, you’re kissed with delicate roses, this part for me is the soul of the perfume..where I feel the most in touch with it.When it begins to wear down, you’re left with a captivating and magnetic scent of gently lit incense, feeling you’ve just left a grandeur church. It’s quite literally nothing like I’ve ever smelt before.This perfume is not for the faint of heart, it’s incredibly powerful and will last on you for hours, even days. This scent grew on me, as in, I fell more in love with it with every spray. Every spritz felt like a ritual. Magdalene is incredibly healing to me. From receiving to wearing it, a spiritual experience."

A beautiful journey
began seven years ago when our perfumer was introduced to the music of FKA twigs. Greatly moved at the display of full spectrum femininity, Christi created a jasmine perfume inspired by the entrancing music video for TWO WEEKS.
Christi did not not know that she would be personally gifting twigs the perfume the following month at the SHOWBOX, but when the stars aligned to make that happen, twigs instantly recognized it as her own true perfume - the scent of herself. A beautiful friendship and the co-creation of a growing collection of perfumes for future release have followed.
During the recording of the MAGDALENE album, Christi anointed twigs with spikenard, rose, myrrh and incense, providing a quantum connection to Mary Magdalene herself. On opening night, they filled the Palace Theater in LA with clouds of incense smoke. twigs wore the perfume each night of the tour and a small run of 180 bottles were created to share the perfume with her most ardent fans.

FRAGRANCE FAMILY: FLORAL
Love at first sight. A single day lily with voluptuous crimson petals, illuminated by the Summer Solstice sun drew her in. When Christi breathed the rapturous aroma of the flower, she was surprised and delighted by perfume it possessed. She purchased the plant (a crimson blackbeard variety) which still had many blooms left to open and studied the aroma as the rest of the buds unfurled in the week that followed.
Each part of this beautiful flower is captured herein. The complete dry down takes place over 12 glorious hours, just as the fragrance of a day lily changes throughout it's one-day long life. Pyramidal smelling notes are unlisted as this perfume is blended so that none of the notes are singularly apparent, a true quintessence novel to your Earthy senses.
