Description
A deep, smoky, and resinous perfume oil inspired by the ancient unguents and fragrant consecrated anointing oils that were used to support the soul during the process of transformation and rebirth. Deep and incense like, Resurrection also has an unexpected undercurrent of exuberant florals that are lush without being sweet. Notes of purifying palo santo, hinoki wood, and black pepper are mellowed by delicate tuberose, fresh lavender, and a lovely, soft ginger lily created by hand using the ancient scent extraction method of enfleurage. Finished with a single-tree artisan distilled oud, a complex scent with depth, whose notes of raisin, vanilla, cinnamon, and sticky fig meld neatly with its profile of orange, tangerine, molasses, and tobacco.

The scarab is an ancient symbol of spontaneous creation and rebirth. In ancient Egypt Scarab amulets were used to protect the deceased in the afterlife and a scarab talisman provided the living wearer with psychic defenses and a confidence in the certain knowledge of reincarnation.
Smoky, dark and resinous to honor this history, Resurrection has an unexpected undercurrent of exuberant florals that are lush without being sweet. Incense like notes of purifying palo santo, hinoki wood, and black pepper are mellowed by delicate tuberose, fresh lavender, and a lovely, soft ginger lily created by hand using the ancient scent extraction method of enfleurage.
Resurrection is finished with a warm, sensual oud handmade in Vietnam by a female artisan who has become renowned for her small batch, single-tree artisan distilled oud. She uses a custom-made copper still that she and her husband built and by traditional methods and ultra low temperatures slowly creates her distillations with wild agarwood from Nha Trang. This variety is her classic oud – through years of experimentation she’s created upwards of fifteen varieties that are all quite different. The classic is complex with a lot of depth but has the raisin, vanilla, cinnamon, sticky fig meets orange, tangerine, molasses, tobacco richness for which she has become known.
The limited edition hand blown glass scarab bottle has shifting colors that play off of the light and a brilliant iridescence, like the scarab beetle. The bottle is a personal one for us – it was designed to celebrate the end of a year of transformation and rebirth for Kindred Black.
