Here, amidst the whispers of jasmine and the lingering scent of almond and orange blossoms, a "vintage" perfume of rare beauty was born. Named in homage to the abandoned fields of yesteryear, this scent captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when perfumes were crafted purely from nature's treasures before the rise of their synthetic replicas. At 23% concentration, this extrait de parfum is a testament to the opulence and depth of vintage perfumes, drawing from an array of ethically sourced materials. From the haunting allure of oud and civet accord to the delicate dance of immortelle, costus, jasmine, and hay, each note tells a story of rediscovery and resurgence. Rare ingredients like boxtree, flouve, and beeswax lend a complexity that modern blends often lack, evoking memories of a time when perfumers celebrated the richness of natural aromatics with reverence and skill. Step into the past but embrace the present, and indulge in the timeless elegance of Champs Délaissée — a fragrance that deeply honors tradition while also challenging the future of perfumery.

11. L'esprit Impur - Baba Yaga - In the heart of an eastern forest, frozen... blanketed by snow, silence and terror… you are a child, lost and shivering. Disoriented by the blinding biting frost you stumble upon a path littered with the bones of the unwary and a sight most strange: Baba Yaga’s hut. Believing to have found shelter from the relentless cold, you enter, only to be enveloped in a world of confusion and unease. The interior, a curious blend of the mystical and the wild; walls covered by ancient books, moss and mold. While in the corner a cauldron of borscht soup bubbles over a fire: the brewing of beets and unknown smoked meats filling the air with a strange aroma, comforting while also concerning. Baba Yaga, shifts her gaze to you, as piercing as the frost outside, incanting strange foreign words, somehow trapping you in her musky lair. As night deepens, the witch, slowly ensnared by her own spells, falls into a deep sleep. Seizing opportunity, you tiptoe past the slumbering Baba Yaga and descend into the moonlit night air alive with the scents of aromatic woods, blackened by fire, earth tainted with a dark magic like incense. With top notes of white pepper, cypress, elemis, mint, snow and litsea; middle notes of beetroot, mushroom, barley, bacon, toast, dill and moss; and base notes of patchouli, labdanum, olibanum, cade oil, geosmin, musk, Norlimanol and cypriol.
