"Sing me a sweet, low song of night,
At the fall of the year;
Of golden fields grown dim with purple light,
And harvest voices near."
~ George Meredith
***********
When I created Fields of Gold, it was from the imagery of harvest and autumn - the hush of golden fields waiting beneath a fading sun. But scent has always spoken to me in color, and this one is purple - thick, dark, velvety purple. No, not literally.... but the color my brain associates with the finished scent. So you’ll see the label dressed in that shadowed hue, because to me this perfume lives where gold and purple meet, in the liminal space between harvest light and autumn’s twilight.
***********
The light has changed. You can feel it in your bones.
Longer shadows stretching across the earth, the way the wind carries secrets through tall grasses gone gold and brittle.
There’s a hush to the land now, a soft stillness that echoes of endings and memory.
Fields of Gold opens with the toasted warmth of Bran Absolute, draped in golden ribbons of Honey and a slow-poured drizzle of spiced Damson Plum syrup - thick, dark, and sultry. Whispering throughout is the mellowed sweetness of Benzoin and Vanilla, curled around the ghost of Tobacco Absolute, soft and dry as forgotten letters tucked in a drawer.
Whiskey, aged in oak barrels and left to dream, winds through Peru Balsam and worn Cedarwood, giving the dry down a resin-rich duskiness.... smoke-tinged and sepia-toned, like fading photographs of a harvest long past.
Fields of Gold is the scent of sunlight in retreat and the creeping deep purple dark of night. Of something beautiful passing just out of reach. A golden hour just before a deep twilight dusk.... suspended in memory.
I'd classify this one as unisex.
