Tesknica

She meets you at the crossroads, winding sheet dancing in the breeze, and touches a hand to your heart. Melancholy overtakes you, and you are never the same. Notes include oakmoss, black sandalwood, cedar, crushed rose petals, ferns, birchwood, vetiver, amber vanilla, dark patchouli, bergamot, myrrh, soft musk, and oud wood. Tęsknica is a being from Slavic folklore who is sometimes called "The Lady of Longing." A personification of melancholy and longing, legend states that she affects mainly young women, causing them to waste away, unable to eat, drink, or sleep. We read this story and thought, "Sounds like depression," which we might know a thing or two about. Regardless, our homage to the Lady of Longing is a blend of dark notes (black sandalwood, oakmoss, dark patchouli and vetiver) and soft, classically femme notes (amber vanilla, dry rose, soft musk).
