The story
Aimless twenty-somethings Calvin and Millie didn’t mean to drop off the face of the earth but when they stumbled onto an abandoned mansion while hiking in the Adirondacks, that’s just what they did. Lounging in the autumn light and lost among the stacks of paperbacks they decided to weather the winter in their found fortress. Spring brought hordes of wildlife, both indoors and out, but no sign of other humans (other than the one growing in Millie’s belly). It would be another four years before the burgeoning family would be forced out of their assumed home but they don’t plan to leave without putting up a fight.

The scent
With its earthy labdanum and aged vanilla, the ambreine accord conjures vintage perfumes like Habanita by Molinard and Cuir de Russie by Chanel. In combination with the deep forest scent of oakmoss and a distant fruity quince, The Abandoned Mansion summons leather-bound books and the haze of a thousand parties. A chypre for dark dreams.
