Scent Notes: Fresh resin, warm incense, the way you grind your teeth in traffic, frankincense and myrrh.
We all hate something deeply. Perhaps it's the sound of one of your students crunching on a carrot. Perhaps it's olives or cilantro. Perhaps it's the way people come to a full stop in a roundabout in order for you to enter, even though that's just not how roundabouts work. It could be that flickering fluorescent bulb at the dentist or the smell of overly ripe bananas. What about the way small tools only seem to come in pink? I NEED A SMALL HAMMER, I DO NOT NEED IT TO BE PINK. [Takes deep breath...]
Anyway, the word for the object of your futile loathing is anathema. An anathema can be anything you have a major distaste for, things that totally set you off. Perhaps, now that you have read this perfume description, you will be able to take this word out into the world and use it. Put Anathema in emails and text messages. Casually drop it into conversations with your friends. Most of all, use it to give your feelings validity in your daily trip to the refrigerator where someone has, yet again, touched the handle with sticky hands and left sticky evidence.

Received this in a (dearly departed) monthly subscription, and so glad I did! Anathema has been one of my favorite discoveries from the mini subscription bags. If you’re into earthy-incensey stuff, check it out! It reminds me of how a specific Chango Botanical store I’d go to in my youth smelled….divine.
This is the best. It's my new go-to almost every day.
I'm not sure what happened here. I've bought from Sucreabeille several times, so I'm familiar with letting the scents mature for a week or two, and that perfume oils are more subtle than regular perfumes, but all of the perfumes I got this time (and also the bonus item lotion) are all almost completely scentless, even when worn. Really disappointed.
Store owner replied: Thank you for sharing. How long ago did you receive the scents? All of these are made at different times, so they are not all part of the same batch. Another interesting question to ask....have you gone outside and applied? At the lab, we notice sometimes we can be noseblind to things when we are inside and sometimes we have to step outside to smell the scent. Trying a layer of unscented lotion before putting on the perfumes could help as well, as it will put a layer between the skin and the scent.
Anathema smells like the best Ren Faire incense, lasts for days in my hair, and I'm so glad it got released, because I knew that tiny sample in the subscription box wasn't going to be enough.
