Making a perfume that is a protection spell, warding off bad influences, is an amazing inspiration! A Project Talisman fragrance, this one takes sacred ingredients from several indigenous peoples, and combines them to create a charmed defense against negative effects.
Palo Santo, means ‘Holy Wood’, and is a relative of frankincense, myrrh and copal having a lemony, pine minty aroma. It was used by the Incas to purify spirits. Aztecs used copal in many of their rituals. Copal is a tree resin, sometimes called ‘young amber’, used in many healing remedies. Tobacco and white sage were used by Native Americans for smudging, driving away evil spirits, and to cleanse and purify. A milkweed note, the food of Monarch Butterflies, is used as a symbol of transformation. The powerful combination of these mystical ingredients is a spiritual ward that magically protects the wearer!
Couldn’t resist the mystic perfume of a master mage like Hurwitz! It has an exotic sweet creamy smell, like that of shredded wet wood, with a touch of green rawness and a milky balm with a hint of incense underneath. One of the benefits of natural perfumes is that you get the full effect of nature’s nuances in their multi-faceted splendor. Become the Shaman is packed with the exotic aroma of it’s foreign essences, translated for us by a sorceress who is in love with scent. These aren’t all my favorite notes in perfumery, but in this accord. the ones that aren’t, shine with earthy freshness and beauty. The notes, selected for their protective aspects, are shown with their best side to us by Hurwitz. I really like the warm woody fragrance, and the added incentive of being a talisman to defend me against evil spirits . . . I need an FB!

Strangely sweet. I’m not familiar with copal as a note, but perhaps it’s why this smells like kettle corn.
