Collection: THE ARCHIVE VAULT - Fragrant memories
Le parfum s'évapore de la peau,
et un jour il disparait du pot
et du magasin en ligne, aussi.
puis inévitablement un jour, même de l'olfactothèque.
Perfume evaporates from the skin, and one day it is gone from the bottle too, and from the online shop, also, then even one day from the olfactothèque
This collections is for memories, and for archive / reference. I find useful, as a customer, to have access to the information on the rare aromatics I buy even after they are gone and frustrated if I didn't save the information.
Hence this collection for oils / perfumes that we cannot offer anymore. At all.
It only includes offerings that were on the webshop online, not from the "brick and mortar" offerings from previous years.
Small / micro batches are listed outside of this archive, as "out of stock" as long as we will offer "them" again in the future. That is, that we will keep producing distillations of comparable scope : raw material, process, quality and profile [and artisan, if sourced]. Sometimes there can be a gap in time.
The same goes for attars: I keep producing new batches of our natural perfume creations as long as I feel interest for them in our clientèle, and provided that we don't run out of central and distinctive ingredients. Batches will vary slightly from edition to edition because all the ingredients used are quality artisan distillations, which will themselves vary from a year of production to another, depending of their respective curing, etc. so it is really a new iteration each time. They age and transform naturally which is also a delight to witness.
