Future’s Past is the one of three comprising the Twin Peaks collection that I’ve ended up wearing most. Many theorize the meaning of Future’s Past in Twin Peaks lore, but for me it’s about ‘now’, either looking into the past from what was once considered the future but has become the present moment, or switching it to mean we are currently in the past of what for us is the future. As all Twin Peaks viewers know, nothing is set in stone. And stone is an important part of Future’s Past success for me, as it reveals a late drydown I truly love, a kind of stony, weathered smooth, elevated gray plateau, a perpetual retreat of peace, that also evokes the overcast sky behind the pine trees. As far as I know the base is unique to this one House of Matriarch perfume. The heart of the fragrance is the invigorating pine; the sappiness asserts that playful possibility surrounds us all along with danger, and seemingly terrible and irreversible circumstances can always be in flux.
As a side note, although I never usually layer House of Matriarch perfumes, I’ve found I like to spray it at the same time and beside, rather than on top of, Chanel’s Platinum Egoiste. Future’s Past is complete in itself, and requires no bolstering, but because the pine aspect is quite ‘high’ it creates freedom for the insertion of an optional extra underneath. I enjoy the metallic cold city mood of the Chanel, but not the overly synthetic texture of the current formula, so I like to think Future’s Past resuscitates a piece of Chanel history.

My favorite of the three. A beautiful mix of pine and the smell of fresh, succulent, green pods. It’s cool and wet like a cold, rainy night in an evergreen forest. Reminds me of Norne mixed with Pear and Olive if you can imagine that.

First Impressions: I get a hit of Cannabis in the opening, dark green herbal, mixed with pine, then it transforms in to a true to life forrest smell, a dark green forest, you smell the pines, the woods, the sap, even a hint of the earth on the floor..
Beautifully balanced! It’s a true forest in a bottle! Loving it!

Like the smell of starlight from trees. Imagine you are in a conifer forest, in the late spring when all trees are putting out new leaves. You brush up against one of the branches and get sap on your hands and clothes. You break off a couple of pieces to smell, tuck them in your pocket, and sit down amid dried needles and cones from several fir species. This is the smell of Future’s Past.
It is so beautiful and real, and fantasy and magic at the same time. One of the spectacular aspects of natural perfumery is that you get the full nuances of the real thing. I can smell everything from the new fir needles to the sap from it’s inner being. Sillage and longevity are soft, as with all naturals. The fragrance is mezmerizing.
