Blackbird

2013
Extrait de Parfum
Ellen Covey - Olympic Orchids

Ellen: This fragrance celebrates the dry season and the warm, peaceful days of summer in the Pacific Northwest, when walking anywhere from a country road to a city greenspace brings the powerful scent of tawny dry grass, fir and cedar trees baking in the sun releasing their sharp, incense-like resins, and juicy ripe blackberries tempting us and the blackbirds with their jammy, musky sweetness. Inspired by nature, Ellen Covey’s Blackbird weaves the notes of summer into a fine fragrance that is very wearable by anyone who enjoys the juxtaposition of dry ambery-woody notes with a touch of juicy fruit. Blackbird was a finalist for the 2014 Art and Olfaction Award in the Artisan category.

Dave: Rich, jammy summer blackberry, musky-sweet, in evergreen forest shadow. 

Blackbird Notes: Himalayan blackberry fruit, dry grass and leaves, elemi, cedar wood and resin, woody-amber accord, fir balsam absolute, musk.
