SELKIE Eau de Parfum | wet fur, sea brine, ambergris

**Please note, this limited-run fragrant offering is back in very small quantities as part of our Friday the 13th Emergency Reserves Release**

This olfactory tale encapsulates marine life and begins with a powerful animalic opening note akin to the scents of castoreum and sea brine, wreathed in boughs of coastal cypress and ocean pine. As it settles, the brine begins to dry and leaves behind a salty cast on the skin — just as it would after a day of longing by the sea. Then, imagine being draped in a warm, still wet, sun-and-sea-dew-mottled pelt. It is musky and animal, but buttery-soft and enveloping, like a second skin.

Selkie Eau de Parfum is an ode to longing. It alchemizes the deep-rooted and instinctual desire for the lapping waves and expansive embrace of the sea into a salted cast. Offering an enveloping sillage and a tenacious hold, this isn’t your average fragrance; it is wild and full of yearning, a complex expression of solitude and contemplation.

Notes: sea brine · sun-kissed wet fur · blubber · sun-roasted seashells · kelp · sea moss · ambergris accord 

Impressions: marine · animalic · salty · musky · buttery · mineral

Tales of therianthropic sea-dwellers have been tattled across shores for millennia - but not all merfolk are dressed in fins and scales. With their buttery flesh and buoyant silver fur, the selkie folk (“seal people”) are said to reveal their human form when their pelts are shed. A staple in northern Scottish folklore, these creatures are often subjected to either human deceit (hide a selkie’s fur from them and they will become captive) or mortal loneliness (the wives of absent seafarers might shed tears into the sea to summon a selkie lover) — but they will always long to return to the sea to which their hearts belong.

Wow! New favourite summer scent

When I read the description, I wasn't sure how this was going to smell, or even be wearable, so I had to try it. As soon as I sprayed it, the images in my head flashed to a Rocky beach, scorching under the sun, hot sand, hot shells and ocean breeze. It smells exactly as described but it's actually very wearable. I can confirm what the other reviewer said, that it lasts 24 hours. Ive worn it daily since I got it. It might be my new favorite summer scent. Do I think it will beloved by the masses? No. But if you're shopping here in the first place, you're probably in the niche market to begin with. I can't believe this isn't sold out already. I might just have to get a bigger bottle..... Or 2. I'm so glad I took a chance on this blind buy!

Selkie is an interesting oceanic scent. I haven't experienced anything quite like it. The scent lingers for well over 24 hours as well. I even had dreams of the ocean the first night I wore it! Magic ✨
