Feuillemort is a meditative rumination of dying leaves, smoked autumnal spices, dried grasses and fungi, Tibetan incense, cedarwood, rum-soaked agarwood and borneol. It is a perfume.
This is the alcohol free perfume, not an oil. It is also free of parabens, phthalates, PDGs and other unpleasant things. Alkemia is hand-blended and small batch perfumery using natural essences, ethically rendered accords, and lab-created aroma molecules.
Fragrantica: “Have you ever walked in the woods in fall when the leaves are all orange and lovely? The sun is golden warm but the earth is crisp with first frost? This scent is what I imagine fall fairies would smell like if they were hiding out behind the trees. It's a lovely earthy fall scent for people who want to carry the forest with them.”
Fragrantica: “I smell mostly wood, spice, and rum notes. With some subtle smoky and balsamic notes in the background. I think I can smell the borneol, there's a hint of something camphor-ish in there. Everything else is blended in together and I can't pick out the remaining notes individually. It's a nice classic Oriental genre fragrance with a bit of an autumnal feel to it. Unisex but leaning masculine. My husband loves it. I like it too, it's one we can share and enjoy together.”
Fragrantica: “This is quite a heavy scent, best for feeling cozy and luxurious I think rather than green or fresh, which are the top listed accords. That said, I love it. It feels like drinking a spicy chai tea in an autumnal forest, next to the remains of a fire in which you were burning some fragrant woods. It also makes me feel a bit like an old lady in a heavy fur coat, which might sound unrelated but it’s deep and incense-y and has a vague feeling of decay. I don’t know, it’s a very specific mood, but I really like it.”
Indie Scent Library: “Spicy, slightly boozy, bright autumnal blend. Reminds me of a woodstove burning in late autumn, even though it’s not smoky at all. Sits pretty close to the skin compared to others. This is definitely going to be one of my go-to autumn fragrances (and year-round). It embodies the spirit of the season perfectly.”
