IMAGINE: Soft pink undersea flowers anchored to ancient boulders. Anemone marries brightness with depth and playfulness with sophistication. Anemone opens with the sweetest juice of overripe plums and grapes bleeding over the divine nectar of sacred pink lotus flowers. Quickly precipitation falls on this scent forcing fruits to ferment into champagne and salty oceanic ambergris cures the lotus into a bright pink floral, all while symbiotic brisk tobacco and honey sting the senses to keep us alert. As the winds pick up and petals drift away resins of styrax and labdanum hold the fruits in place for the remainder of the storm.
Just got a sample of anemone along with triton, hallow, and broken glass. Anemone works best with my skin and I cannot stop huffing my wrist. I look crazy but I literally cannot stop. Smells like my mother’s shalimar mixed with my favorite incense and a whiff of a mysterious person’s perfume at a glorious sweaty and sexy late night concert. Cannot. Stop. Smelling. It. On my way to order more samples. Thank you Blackbird for my new favorite scent!!
anemone really is 'that girl'. she smells sweet with an edge. crisp air and salty ocean water. hair blowing in the wind. a ship out at sea. it's a calm ocean-warm. the sun embraces you through a clear sky.
i say "she's that girl" but scents do not have a gender (and is more of an expression),and as someone who also embraces fluidity i layer my scents according to how I'm feeling that day- sometimes I want more sweetness sometimes more earthy woods and leather. Anemone hits it right in the center for me. As soon as I opened the box my nose caught a light whiff and i felt sparks in my brain. I first came across Anemone while working in a little industrial influenced boutique carrying American made goods in Oakland- Oakland Supply Company. We would burn Blackbird's incense and I would at times go around and spritz the testers.
I'm so glad to be reconnecting with Anemone after 4/5 -ish years. I have so many scents but nothing quite like Anemone.
