There is something special about horses. I don't think there is an animal in the world that smells as good as a horse! Granted, I was totally into horses as a kid. Had the little western outfits, wrote horse stories, took riding lessons and spent plenty of time with horses but if maybe just a sweaty horse perfume isn't for you, then these fragrances blend in notes of grass, hay, leather and woods to create some gorgeous fragrances.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler:
- Aether Arts Perfume Tea & Tahki Voile de Parfum - Experience the austere beauty and warm hospitality of Mongolian Horse Culture with Tea & Takhi. Central to Mongolia’s culture and heritage are the Takhi (native, wild horses). Nowhere are horses more central to daily life than in Mongolia. A traditional proverb sums it up: "A Mongol without a horse is like a bird without the wings." Within a land of fiercely independent, nomadic herdsman, horses are regarded as a source of both life and wealth. Horses also play a significant role in Mongolian spiritual beliefs; the word Takhi translates to Spirit or Spiritual. Mares’ milk is used for religious offerings and to made various foods such as Suutei Tsai (Mongolian Milk Tea) which is salty rather than sweet and is often enriched with butter. If you are ever to visit Mongolia, you will be welcomed with this warm and nourishing beverage which is an important part of Mongolian hospitality. Tea & Takhi perfume creates the moment and place with an evocative and unusual group of notes not often seen together: tea, salt, butter, smoke, grass, hay, leather and horses. You are greeted by the scent of salty, buttered, Lapsang Souchong tea brewed over an open fire in a metal kettle. Notes of grass and hay conjure the open grasslands of the Mongolian steppes. While a leather and warm horse accord—featuring real oud—brings the sense of leather tack warmed with animal sweat and sets you firmly in the saddle. With top notes of tea, salt, butter and smoke; middle notes of grass and hay; and base notes of smoke, leather and horses.
- Aether Arts Stirrup Perfume - The aroma of fresh, green hay bales, the glitter and glint of polished tack, the warm, musky bodies and breath of horses—the scents of the stable are among the most evocative I know. A fragrant homage for those who love all things equine, Stirrup combines a fresh-hay accord with spirited apple and chamomile top notes. An elegantly smooth, leather accord brings the scent of well-polished riding boots, bridles and saddles. A subtle musk and oud note brings the horse’s warm body to mind. All are enclosed by the weathered wood of the stable. With top notes of apple and chamomile accord; middle notes of grass and hay bale accord; and base notes of horses, tack and stable accord.
- Alpha Musk New Pony Perfume Oil - Warm buttery breath, sun kissed shiny fur musk and amber white ethereal accord.
- Cherry Ka's Trunk Pony Play Perfume Oil - A scent for trail hands and their trusty horses, with notes of scrub brush, heavy leather tack, dust on the rider’s pointed boots and the horse’s steel shoes, hay, carrots and fresh apples.
- Perfumer H Saddle EDP - An olfactory expression of a sculptural layer on the skin, Saddle evokes the tactility and warmth of worn saddle leather molded over time to the contours of the body—smooth and textural. With animalic tones, it is both tenacious and elegant, its character rooted in a sophisticated simplicity—yet with unexpected, compelling nuance. With notes of Italian bergamot, aldehydes, orange flower absolute, Egyptian jasmine absolute, Indonesian patchouli, benzoin resin, vanilla absolute and amber.
