“Oh, I’m burning! I wish I were out of doors! I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free; and laughing at injuries, not maddening under them! Why am I so changed? Why does my blood rush into a hell of tumult at a few words? I’m sure I should be myself were I once among the heather on those hills. Open the window again wide: fasten it open!”

 

An incandescent amber storm. Strata of glowing ambers piled deep and restless, molten and honeyed, threaded with dark, resinous veins that pulse like blood under skin. Free, wild, elemental: the storm at her heart, beating against the glass until it shatters.

 

Formulated to be layered with HEATHCLIFF, or worn as a standalone scent.

Just posted a review for the hair gloss, and I bought both the 5ml of perfume and the hair gloss, can report they smell the same on (the hair gloss has more projection, but the scent itself is the same to my nose).

 

I'm delighted to report that it reminds me of a slightly more amber, slightly less sweet version of Dahlia, which has been my obsession for a while now.

 

I know opinions are divided on Dahlia. To me, Dahlia is sweet vanilla and sugary vanilla orchid, all joyful and lovely. Catherine has more amber, less sugar, it's a deeper, more mature version of Dahlia. I don't get much (if any) resin and for those concerned about "melted and honeyed", I don't get honey, a hint of caramel maybe. Of course, ymmv.  

 

Maybe with time some more of the dark, resinous veins will pop out. Ha. 

 

What a win!! ❤️

 

It's a risk buying anything full size without an explicit note list, and I hope this review helps anyone on the fence to fall off one side or the other. I'm a little hesitant to say this leans more feminine than unisex, but I'm in my 50s and used to guys wearing pine and spruce and women wearing sweet and floral. However, I'd want to take a deeeeeeep whiff of any person wearing this scent.  Kinda makes me want to snuggle myself.
