Mother Medusa Perfume Oil

Mother Medusa is mothering! And slaying everyone with her electrifying self! Just don’t look her in the eyes! Haha This fragrance is so cool! It features sea soaked wood burned from electrical lightning strike! Petrichor, charred wood, and static electricity, OH MY! It’s such an interesting atmospheric and is totally worth the journey! Love it!

It is a lightening bolt hitting an ocean wave, illuminating the Gorgon’s haunting form - A feminine, scary, beautiful perfume. It is long lasting and not much is needed to gain the full experience. On my skin, it reads as electricity with sea soaked wood. Something sweet brings this scent to a feminine place. Overall, it evokes pure power and taking back control. It is amazing.

I love this scent!!! It's the one I keep going back to frequently. It's hard to describe what it smells to me but I always feel like a feminine and powerful bad ass when I wear this! ❤️

Drydown:You're hiding out in a dank, dark cave in a thunderstorm - lightning crashing into an ancient tree near the entrance, and setting it ablaze. The cave is terrifying, you've heard the legends of this place - a place where mortals dare not to tread, half-jokingly referred to as Medusa's lair by children in hushed breaths, but you had no choice but to seek shelter here. You hear a slithering in the dark but it's too dangerous outside to leave and the sound is too far away to be sure that your mind isn't just playing tricks on you, misinterpreting the sound of angry sea waves crashing against the rocks. There's a cold hint of iron, like a dagger hidden in your pocket, your hands anxiously gripping the blade as though you were a child holding on to their security blanket.
After 30 minutes: the fire is dying down, drowned in the unending rain and sea splash - but the char is still prevalent. The char is turning sweet and peppery from amber, with an undercurrent of dark wet rocks. The electricity is still lingering in the air but it's been hours since you've heard a crack of thunder, so you make your way back to the opening of the cave. With each step, you feel the heaviness of each breath lessening - you've survived the night.
Fades out to the memory of a vicious thunderstorm; it has a light throw and lasts on my skin for 8 hours.
My rating: transition from Summer to Fall; a shimmering, starlight silver; 5/5 - I really struggled to categorize this one - it's fire, but it's water; it's electric but it's dark; it's soft and it's strong, it's metallic and sweet and trees and rocks. This manages to be everything all at once without being overwhelming in any way to the point that it almost defies categorization. It's all season appropriate, unisex leaning femme, and truly one of a kind - I'd say it's an aquatic with amber and wood notes and that it's got an unmistakable aura of ancient power. If I had to attribute it to a character outside of Medusa, I would say Amren from A Court of Thorns and Roses - an unknowable creature that is older than the fae realm itself, self described as "a messenger and soldier-assassin for a wrathful god who ruled a young world" that drinks blood to sustain herself and hoards jewelry and baubles like a firedrake in a cave - threatening death to anyone who would disturb them. She has angular silver eyes that seem to swirl like smoke under glass, a voice that is soft, but honed sharper than any blade and is used as a bedtime story to scare young faeries into behaving. This may very well be my favorite fragrance ever that doesn't contain any Wisteria - I couldn't be more thrilled to have a full size bottle of this, and I hope it returns year after year!

This perfume is so beautiful. One of a kind. So feminine too. I feel lucky to get a bottle of this. ❤❤
