Axis Mundi

2016
Eau de Parfum
Dawn Spencer Hurwitz - DSH Perfumes

Dawn: A meditative incense design filled with resinous notes and a deep, smoky background. As the title states, the Axis Mundi is the cosmic center of the world; the link between Heaven and Earth. Perfume, or Per Fumum (through smoke), just might be the manifestation of the concept…a double helix of prayers released from Earth’s sacred (material) offering taken through the air to the divine, celestial realm. The ritual censer is lit filled with the most beautiful and costly incense carrying our greatest wishes, hope, and prayers to the heavens. The smoke rises and releases the sweet and lightly charred aroma. It is the Axis Mundi.

Dave: Deep, resinous holy wood. The smolder and balm of ancient ritual. Sublime.

Axis Mundi Notes:  Amber, amyris, white sandalwood, rose de mai, champaca, woody notes, civet, elemi, olibanum, Himalayan cedar, incense, labdanum, orris, agarwood (oud), Siam benzoin and myrrh.
