Story

Zelda is a special fragrance, named in memory of a cherished pet of mine. Zelda was a blue Australian Cattle Dog that lit up my life and I wanted to honour her in my own way. She was born and raised in the Yarra Valley of Victoria, Australia, and made her way into my life in Glasgow in her later years.  She loved swimming, getting muddy, stealing blueberries and tomatoes out of my garden (whether they were ready to eat or not!), counter surfing, bin raiding, bossing her feline and canine brothers around, chasing the ball, extracting squeakers from toys and requesting affection through brute force.  She was the most wonderful dog, my best friend and constant companion. This fragrance was made as a way for me to remember her by and to share my feelings about her with the world. 

The scent is inspired by the smell of the rainforests of Mount Dandenong in the springtime, when the rains and blooming trees come together to produce this incredible effect of sweet, almost ambery and vanillic floral supported by green and aquatic notes. To add even more of Zelda into the fragrance, I added a little earthy patchouli for her love of mud, fresh blueberry for her garden-raiding hobby and blue musk for her blue fur.  Overall the effect is something lively and sweet, just like her.  

A portion of the proceeds from this scent will be donated to The Woodland Trust, a UK organization that seeks to protect, re-establish and restore native woodlands in Britain, as well as make them accessible for everyone to enjoy. Zelda loved exploring forests, so it seemed right to dedicate her scent to protecting places she loved. :)

Unusual, but welcome!

Zelda, in the bottle, smells much like how it first appears on the skin. It's green, almost medicinal; it can be overpowering if you use too much, a few drops is plenty. I wasn't a massive fan of it at first. It was strange and sappy and really smelled mostly of eucalyptus oil, which is just an "okay" scent to my nose. You can, if you focus, smell a fresh and watery note beneath it, but it's more like a scaffold to support that blue gum tang.

After a few hours, though, Zelda mellows into a beautiful and indescribable scent that I adore. I'm really not sure what I'm smelling... maybe I'm just inexperienced with perfume, but it's so difficult to pin down! It's sweet, powdery (but not too sickly or suffocating), almost baby powder-esque. I've been told it smells like almonds to other people. There's a hint of fruitiness to it - which must be the blueberry. It's delicious.

I think I'll need a couple more wears to truly become accustomed to it, but I think Zelda is a fantastic scent. It's unique, it tells a story, it isn't like anything else I've had before. If you like the sound of it, pick up a sample; it's worth trying out, just because of how unusual it is!

dewy, sweet wilderness

Lovely scent for a touching story. The fragrance is very well-blended. There is a cooling quality to it, which I think is due to the blue gum leaves. They also add to the dewy nature or rainwater-feel. A subtle sweetness ties it together beautifully. It’s a warm sweetness from amber and earthy patchouli combined with fresh hints of berries.

Gorgeous, fresh, complex and green

While the gum leaves smell is a little too prevalent for me to want to FS this one, it is a beautiful scent. The sweetness is well-balanced by the greenery and it has a playful and energetic spirit like a mountain breeze. A friend of mine fell in love at first sniff so I gave her the sample to keep, which thrilled her to bits. I'm just not that into eucalyptussy kinds of smells in my own perfumes, though it's a lovely blend.

Beautiful Scent

I got a sample of this scent, and it is gorgeous. One of my absolute favorites of the samples I got and it’s definitely on my list for full sizes. I didn’t know the story behind it when I got it, but what a beautiful tribute
