Dame Perfumery - Earth Mother

Earth Mother.  The name conjures images in my mind that brings one back to the heyday of Haight-Ashbury.  It summons images of being one with Nature and yet being a force on its own.  In these respects, Earth Mother from Dame Perfumery lives up to the images.

Earth Mother to me is all about the patchouli.  Sure enough we get the other notes but they all weave themselves around the star – patchouli.  The juice opens with a lemony, slightly herbal, caramel melting over a bold patchouli.  About an hour into wear notes of jasmine and lily bloom in quiet symphony with the earthy sweetness.  The florals bring a sensuality to the fragrance.   Creamy vanilla, resinous amber, and earthy musk round out the scent.  The patchouli wears throughout the journey.  There is a gentleness to the handling of these notes and I am forced to feel as if it’s the warm embrace of Earth itself. 

Earth Mother wear on me as a semi-sweet, soft, warm, floral, earthy, sensual scent for roughly 9 – 10 hours with moderate to soft projection.    

Notes:  galbanum, lemon, caramel, jasmine, lily of the valley, sage, patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, musk, amber
