Category: Perfume extract
A horseback ride through the Mongolian steppe. The trail of the gallop stirs the ground, stirs up the scent of flowers, and stirs the earth. A green hyacinth entwined with tenacious ivy and crisp galbanum. A green floral fragrance evoking the freedom of an endless prairie.
I was hesitant about the galbanum note since it can go sharp, but here it's balanced perfectly against the ivy. This smells like wet earth and green stems after a summer storm, and it lasts a solid eight hours on my skin. My favorite perfume extract so far this year.
The ivy and hyacinth blend is unlike anything I've tried—it's green and earthy yet somehow soft, like galloping through wildflowers on a cool morning. This extract lasts all day on my skin, and the scent shifts beautifully as it settles.
The green hyacinth opens sharp and bright, but it's the ivy that lingers for hours—earthy without being heavy. I wore it to the office and caught myself sniffing my scarf all afternoon. This is exactly what a steppe gallop should smell like.
