Borneo Camphor Soliflore ☽•☾ natural perfume. 

a l c h e m y ☽•☾
A single note Borneo camphor scent made exclusively with in house extractions of Dryobalanops aromatica. White wood resin, blindingly bright. This is camphor but without mint, without menthol, without green herbs. Camphor of Baros transports us to a massive biodiverse island in the Malay Archipelago, deep in an ancient rainforest paroled by cloud leopards: a hard coconut flash, nothing meaty or sweet. The burnished shell. The abrasive abstraction of a man’s neck. Wet jungle floor that’s been hewn and structured into a house, lacquered and shellacked. High gloss tiger wood. Titanium shaving cream. Carnisol, the piercing yet tranquil hot end of camphor’s hot-cold polarity. Extraordinary, unusual, and difficult to source. Nearly all the Borneo camphor currently on the market is corrupted or synthetic.

Wild Veil natural perfumes are composed by me, Abby, using homemade, wildcrafted and organic aromatics in Vermont. These include my handmade enfleurage, tinctures, enfleurage extraits, absolutes, resinoids and concretes, and floral waxes. I spend as much time growing plants and foraging as I do composing perfumes.

The best way to experience a natural perfume is to apply it to well-moisturized skin, without rubbing in (absorption only shortens the wear time of fragrance) and without scrubbing off. Natural perfumes are dynamic and take a minimum of 2 hours to reach their final stage, or dry down. Enjoy the alchemical changes as they unfold from the initial intensity of top notes, to the warmth of the heart, to the depth of lower base notes.
