#imramma

Kind of like how Alkemia managed a better version of SS's Library with their Dustsceawung, they also have a better version of Tenebrous Mist with Imramma.

I really can't rec Alkemia enough for making atmospheric perfumes that capture a bigger idea. Imramma is beachside and shaded with trees. The melding medium is the soft salt spray note that's quickly detectable, but there's also a very powdery lavender that just has great nosefeel. At first it as a very evergreen tree leaf scent, but the astringency fades after a few minutes to background, which is good.

Also given how weak this kind of scent usually is, Imramma has some decent staying power, enough to linger even after I did the dishes. It's one of the first perfumes out of this pack that I didn't do a apply-wait-reapply method.

It reminds me of some lavender salt stuff that Mims sent me, but suped up in perfume form. 8)

The Imramma literature of Old Irish society has inspired meditation and spirituality for centuries. The Immrama meditations are a gateway to our inner sacred landscape: the landscape of soul and Imbas. The Imramma seeks to align the three realities: this physical reality; the inner landscape; and the Otherworlds. 

I would pay money for this.

GODDAMMIT EMILY. GODDAMMIT. WHY DOES EVERYTHING YOU MAKE ME LIKE HAVE TO HURT.

One of the first bedtime stories my mother ever read me was about Owain Glyndwr (with plenty of blood and guts in too, it was a great book). I think we’d have a lot in common.
