Golden Hour in the Apple Orchard

Vibe: Taking a hayride through an apple orchard. The light is golden, illuminating the dust motes floating serenely through the air.

Golden Hour in the Apple Orchard opens with an apple accord that starts off smelling of fresh apple peel, then morphs into something more cider-like (but not spiced!) throughout the wear. There's a hint of over-ripeness to represent apples that have fallen from the trees. The apple note moves from the foreground to the background of the scent during the wear, letting the perfume's salty-dusty-resinous qualities shine. There is some dry dustiness to this fragrance, and a bit of a savory twist from a labdanum overdose. The hay absolute gives some musty sweetness, but just enough for balance - this isn't a particularly sweet perfume.
Overall, this is an apple + labdanum perfume, with the other notes filling in the ambience: earthiness from the vetiver...dry woods and hay absolute to represent the wagon you're riding in...fir balsam absolute to complement labdanum's sticky balsamic scent...and fruity saffron to complement the apple.

Notes: Apple, Hay, Saffron, Vetiver, Fir Balsam Absolute, Dry Woods, Labdanum
