Mellifera: Ichorous Aromatic 8ml Spray

Mellifera: Hawaiian Ichorous Aromatic 8ml 蜜蜂靈液香

The old meaning of "ichorous" in Greek mythology is "fluid that flows like blood in the veins of the gods" and so instead of calling this an extrait de perfum - as it is a very dense natural fragrance (30+%), I have decided to keep its resonance closer in kin to god blood.   

If you've landed in Kona airport, then you know the region has a distinct sweet, hot, refreshingly easeful vibe, its a small airport that where the call of the island is in the breeze, waiting for you to discover why you're here.  The island offers healing, nourishment, adventure, and the opportunity to elevate your being, maybe changing you forever for the better.

Tuberose & grapefruit marry so lovingly, juicy sun kissed sweet bloom on boff.  Quite soon the unique propolis accord takes hold, sticking on the skin with hot gentle fruity spice, pikake floral points towards beauty in the wake of the bees, held aloft by Hamakua coast vanilla...grounded as it dries down with the iconic Iliahi sandalwood.  

The base alcohol is a locally made bee-shine made from mead, every ingredient was studied and blended over the last 6 months after a year + of making some of the ingredients, sadly I spilled one third of the batch - tragedy of trying to work in someone else's studio.  So alas, there are not many of these 8ml bottles I can offer.

These islands have a power and charm to them, in the waves & in the wind, from the jungles to your nose to your heart, allow a scent of the pure land meet your heart and breathe deep in a peaceful reverie. 

Being a pure, natural perfumery fragrance, it will last around 3 hours plus, depending on the climate, on your skin.  A few times it lasted around 5 hours with the sandalwood and vanilla sweetly lingering a long while.
