A SATURNIAN SCENT

A long time ago, I created a perfume for each astrological sign. Some were exquisite, some were more "different" in reason of their ruling planet. I read and researched, through Jeanne Rose, Scott Cunningham, The Magical use of Perfumes and so many others for planetary scents and associations. I came up with this interesting result. Every month this year, I will share a scent of the month.

Like I mentioned and quoted in a past post, Saturn is not the easiest scent to "transmute" into the realms of odours. For this scent, I first fixed a nice woody and smokey base of Oakmoss...that I sprinkled with a tad of Cypress. Cypress is definitely a Capricorn scent. I then added a dollop of Labdanum Resin (with its dark and sticky texture) it solidified the base note. 
Then I went on to bring a flowery heart note with Jasmine and Neroli Absolutes. To give it a bit of personality, I spiced it up with a few drops of Coriander essential oil and crowned it with another few drops of Bergamote. If you can find it and afford it, Oud would be a very nice addition to this blend. The quantities need to be adjusted to your taste. The quality of the ingredients should be the best for the selective Capricorn.
