Kelley’s Notes
From the first breath, Myrrh Shadow strikes like a match in the dark — citrus flashing before curling into smoke. Cinnamon warms the air, pepper sparks the edges, and then the woods and resins gather in a velvet hush. It is chimney smoke and candlelight, incense coiling through quiet rooms, the damp forest floor underfoot as leaves soften back to earth.
This fragrance is autumn embodied: wool-blanketed picnics beneath trees ablaze in marigold and crimson, apples sliced as they are picked, coffee steaming against chilled fingers. Vanilla and benzoin sweeten the edges; patchouli, cedar, and myrrh keep it shadowed, resinous, and a little dangerous.
Wearing it is like surrendering to autumn’s embrace — melancholy, mystery, romance, and the soft magic of shorter days.
When to Wear
On gray days when the weather seems to understand you. On solitary walks when the air smells of woodsmoke. In cafés where the windows fog, pen in hand, journal open. On nights when you crave intimacy with yourself or another, wrapped in wool and warmth.

Witch’s Work
Myrrh Shadow makes a potent companion for rituals of release. Burn a slip of paper scrawled with what you’re ready to let go, watching smoke thread upward as the perfume echoes it on your skin. Pair it with a grounding stone — obsidian or smoky quartz — to anchor the transformation. Spray before journaling on what lies in shadow within you.
Awesome description, i love citrus, smoke and cedar. This sounds like a hot copper tub bath after working 10 hours outside in the winter.
Thank you for being you.
