Frog Funeral

Hot and humid, a tingle of pink and Timut pepper over blackcurrant, citrus, and a strange carrot‑seed sweetness that already feels a little unsteady.

Soon, creamy Mysore sandalwood rises like warm breath from your collar, wrapped in lush tuberose, blue lotus, and damp roses that blur floral beauty with something animal and slightly unhinged.

As time pass, the mood turns darker and more devotional: oakmoss, oud and frankincense smoke, myrrh, and bushman’s candle coil around vintage Kashmiri deer musk and a touch of beaver, like walking away from a late‑night roadside ceremony, sweat on your back and a love story you’re not sure survived.

It feels made for people who like their Mysore creamy but corrupted, who reach for floral‑animalic blends when they want something beautiful that admits it’s a little doomed.
