This fragrance is inspired by the waves smashing into the Reculver sea defences while nearby sits a ruined abbey, graveyard and wild, overgrown fields. Remnants of more recent uses are now overgrown and covered over with blackberries, raspberries and sea lavender. The salt water spraying up onto the path and the grass leaves small puddles so that the smell of the sea is carried by the wind to mix with the berries, flowers and wild parsley to create a fragrance that is fresh, but shows the history that surrounds this place in every direction. There is a feeling here of something that was once important and loved but has now been given back to nature to heal and be washed away, into the sea. Blackberries, sea lavender and cedar were collected on 23rd July 2014 / Sunny Day.
Reculver is a floral green fragrance that features top notes of green mandarin and cassis; middle notes of neroli and pink pepper; and base notes of cedar and oud. It is a parfum.

Fragrantica: A herbal, elegant, clean rosemary dream. Love it. Still new to the niche side but I've never smelled something like this. Feels like lovely countryside. Office friendly; long lasting with +8h, projecting quite well. 9/10.
