~ Like a neon trident, vascular blooms rip through mercurial waters. Candied rosé sky floods the coastal cottage, provoking lucid dreams of obsessive Selkie skin-love and lips smack with saline dab. ~

Phloem is a diabolical assemblage of odourants that should oppose, but somehow attract. There is a violent, primal sensuality that bewitches before embracing. The entire composition is a balancing act of contradicting raw materials blended instinctually to create a shocking and diffusive bouquet of devastating release. Phloem presents a miasma of olfactory sin: flushed skin, shoreline, carnival frivolities, caviar, lipstick smears and erogenous effluvium. Sucrose-sweetness is tempered with greasy spices that hinder Phloem from sliding into tooth-achingly sweet territory. A damp note of nutty driftwood and hot, gooey, styrax gum continues deep into the fade. Phloem is hallucinogenic vapour with a marbled psychedelic development.
