This blend is the fantastic scent of amberous dark honey…

 

It is luxurious, unique, and sweetly aromatic, but it is brought to earth with an Ensar Oud, Thai Santina.

Though it contains no florals, something in the combination exudes an aroma like a golden meadow.

A place where the bees would become ecstatic.

 

Perhaps one of our finest Kyphi Style blends to date, we are all in love with it.

I went mad with the ingredients, and that abandon produced a poetic incense.

Agarwood, Santina Oud (Ensar)

*Honey notes impart a gourmand quality to fragrances, while the beeswax absolute (Absolue cire d’abeille) harvested from honeycombs of Apis mellifera, grown in France, is used for an ethically harvested animalic note in scents. This absolute is rare, produced by solvent extraction, and due to its surprising thickness, it does not blend easily in a blend. It can be, therefore, diluted in alcohol or gently warmed and added to essential oils and allowed to age before being used in a formula.

 

This price is for .5 oz. (7 large cakes) of this heady blend. Only half a cake fills the room with sublime fragrance. The cakes are nested in natural vanilla-scented Sweet Grass and Bee Balm herbs and flowers.

(limited quantity)

 

From Katlyn:

 

I had a wonderful experience when creating Dark Honey. After weeks of Blending, we shaped and stamped each cake, then went outside for a break. Upon returning to the studio, the most exquisite fragrance enveloped us! It actually moved me to tears. Sometimes, moving away from a scent and then coming back to it can have amazing results.
