the smell of an extinct past that's closer than we often care to think
Spirit Lamp by DS& Durga (currently unavailable as a perfume, though you can purchase the candle) is a fragrance that evokes a forgotten corner of a botanical garden where a spirit of untamed wilderness thrives unchecked. The initial impression is a thick, oily green, not of manicured lawns, but of some swampy primordial reed, the smell of an extinct past that's closer than we often care to think, its roots tangled in the earth, its leaves exuding a herbal musk. This greenness isn't fresh and invigorating; it's greasy, thick, and almost suffocating. As the scent unfolds, a metallic tang emerges, the scent of rust or singed copper wire, a chilling counterpoint to the verdant heart. It's a perfume that evokes images of forbidden rituals and forgotten practices, a potent concoction brewed in the cauldron of nature's darkest corners.
