FRAGRANCE FAMILY: COSMETIC

The smoky eye in fragrance form.  Anointing yourself with ANTIMONY is akin to the ancient protective ritual of rimming your eyes with kohl. This talismanic incense perfume draws from the noble history of cosmetica and the aromatic materials which have been used throughout time to create "eye shadow" - the most magical cosmetic of all. 


The minerals antimony and malachite have been among those used around the eyes throughout time due to their reflective properties - they ricochet bad vibes like mirrors. Since antimony is now considered toxic (the alchemists would argue otherwise) these minerals have been banned from use in cosmetics. Mystics and folk healers around the world still use them for their prehistorical purposes in treating ailments of mind and spirit and for compounding sacred cosmetics.

NOTES:  Charred frankincense, kewra, henna, Palo Santo, galangal, sandalwood ashes, spikenard, ghee, copal, oud and precious attars of mitti, kadam and rose have all been used to create enchanted cosmetics throughout history. They are all found in ANTIMONY which contains exactly 111 individual notes.  Subtle by design, exotic florals push up from a primitive base to bloom on your skin as they emanate like an ancient wisp of fine bakhoor.

The first run of 50ml bottles came adorned with a handmade copper cartouche talisman decorated with the symbols for the element antimony and the letter M. They were designed by our Perfumer Christi Meshell and forged in San Diego, California under the influence of the Gemini full moon. The alternate alchemical symbol for the element antimony can be found on the nameplate's special character "O".
     

     

Created in celebration of the 7th Anniversary of ÇaFleureBon for the blog's founder and Editor in Chief, Michelyn Camen.  The fragrance brief called for a perfume powerful enough to attract good fortune and ward off negativity - even the dreaded curse of the "evil eye".   READ THE CAFLEUREBON STORY HERE.

Smells Magical

"I read the reviews and had to try. Good lord, this stuff is basically liquid seduction. I smell like my last three husbands died under mysterious circumstances. I smell like I may or may not have hexed you. I smell like I've got a first edition Book of the Dead in my library. And then the sample that was included! Maybe even better. My poor wallet. 1000% recommend."

I love, love this scent!

"I love, love this scent! It reminds me of spiritual ceremonies. The palo santo scent is more of a burning palo santo, which gives it such a unique and sultry quality. My only gripe is it fades faster than I’d like, but having a small bottle for a spritz midway through the night solves that. I adore it!"
