Pepper's Ghost Oil Perfume

“…what we experience as memories are in fact confabulations — artificial constructions of our own design built around sterile  particles of retained experience which we attempt to make live again by infusions of imagination, much as the blacks and whites of old photographs are enhanced by the addition of colors or tints in an attempt to add life to a frozen moment.”

From Obliscence: Theories of Forgetting and the Problem of Matter by Geoffrey Sonnabend

On the border of Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina, a car passes on the narrow stretch beside a turbulent waterfall. The wheels of the car crush pink peppercorns and moss into the damp road, which is veiled in a fine gauze of mist. Inside the car, an open book of sheet music rests on the leather seat.  The cabin of the car holds last night’s remnants of jasmine perfume, pipe smoke, and soft velvet.

Top Notes: Pink peppercorn, mist

Heart Notes: Vetiver, damp moss, jasmine

Base Notes: Tobacco, velvet, paper

Blended in-house in small batches with fractionated coconut oil. To wear, dab on wrists and neck. The perfume is primarily natural and organic ingredients, meaning the scent will mature over time and spoil if exposed to excessive light or heat. The scent will change based on the wearer and climate. Store in a cool, dark place.

15ml of oil perfume, bottled in a genuine blue glass apothecary bottle. Sealed with beeswax; soften wax with a warm, damp cloth and remove carefully with a penknife. Once opened, replace rubber cork with glass stopper. Please note that the glass stopper is not leak-proof.
